Can anyone tell me about the cues listed here:


For example, the GB-22? It looks to have razor sharp points, mother of pearl inlays, and a signature that's not terribly ugly--for $810 at a couple of online billiards companies. Does it fall apart after ten racks?

Thanks.

Although not made by the Adam company in Japan anymore. I hear that they are still well made by a company in China that builds cues for bigger brands.

If you end up buying let me know your thoughts. I have been eye balling the GB23.

Chinese cues. A friend has one and its well made. Plays fine. The Japanese ADAM-built versions are nicer and WAY more desirable.

They are nice well made cues. I took the shafts down to 12.5mm which suits
me better than 13mm

I have a friend that shoots with one. He's had it about 3 years.
Well made, still looks nice, and shoots good.

I have one of the old Japanese made models. GB-8. It's a beautiful cue. I'm not sure about the quality now.

I have one of these from the ADAM Japan factory if anyone is interested. Mint condition.

It is a Hall of Fame model without the gaudy signature.

I never played with a Japan model, I did own one of the Chinese made cues and it played very well and was very well constructed
