Bartrum vs. D' Alfonso - the cues they used

[BillPorter]

Someone asked me about the cues that Chris Bartrum was using last night in his match with Tommy D' Alfonso. Chris was using cues made by Cincinnati cue maker Dick Neighbors, both for breaking and playing. Tommy was using a Joss butt with a Predator shaft (medium Moori tip). I forgot to check on the type of jump cue each was using, so I must ask forgiveness in advance for my lack of due diligence. I will try to remember checking on the jump cues when they play later today.

I think -- and I may be wrong -- that I have met this gentleman once or twice. In fact, I believe he is an AzBilliards members, R-N-Cues-something or another.

A Joss butt. Interesting. Ask him how long he's been shooting with the Joss!

Dickie is a very active member of AZ billiards "Rhncue" but he just doesn't peddle his cues like some of the builders on here...

I know Chris has played exclusively with Dickie cues for a long time.

Here is his website. Dickiecues.com

BTW, you couldn't ask for a better guy to deal with.
