The Balabushka cues currently for sale on the site of the same name are NOT made by Adam, they are subbed out to China. Adam had the rights to the Balabushka name and used to make them, however a US-based company bought the rights recently and has them made in China. Real Adam cues are made in Japan, and are excellent quality. You can still get Adam-made Balabushka cues on eBay on occasion. One other note is that it would appear that the company that bought the US rights to Balabushka also bought the US rights to the Adam name and now sells Chinese versions of Adam cues, NOT to be confused with real Adam cues from Japan.
Adam (Japan) made and makes an excellent cue. I played with one of the Balabusha line for many years, and still have one in my case that I play with on a regular basis.
