Play with that thing like you're living your last day on earth.
Beautiful cue. Play with them all, man.
22 year old shaft wood, and you're not going to use it? It is your cue, but ........
Exactly, why bother with older shaft wood just to sit? I think it is a shame all cues don't get to do what they were made to do, play pool.
Beautiful cue btw
I also maintain that many people who would pick this cue up, with all intentions of playing with it, that upon seeing the incredible beauty and the workmanship.....there hands would start shaking, and they would put it down...............LOL
The old Gus shaft wood was a treat to me from Barry. It certainly makes the cue much more valuable and collectable. After being friends for about 20 years, I dont think Barry is concerned about weather I play with this cue or not.

Tommy, this is a great post. I got a chuckle out of the way you'd have to leave the pool hall. I think Steve should play with this cue. What if you met with a bad accident or a severe health problem then your chance to enjoy such a wonderful cue would be gone. PLAY with it.I feel sorry for Barry. He is making cues that are meant to be played with, but because of the market, people are using them as investments.
The people that Barry graces with a cue can turn around and make a bigger profit than Barry did while he sweated out the details.
I don't know about anyone else but I never see anybody playing with a Szamboti, and that's a crying shame. I'm one of the guilty ones myself, but in these crazy times if anyone knew I was playing with a 12K cue, I'd have to back out of the poolhall and carry heat just to get to my car.
At least his Dad's cues got played with.........JMO
