tributes by Jerry Rauenzahn

Through a special arrangement with Jerry Rauenzahn and Dean OC for $1750 in a case

A deal has been made that allows 10 lucky buyers to purchase a fancy Balabushka
Tribute of your choice directly from Jerry, and one of you guys will receive not just one
beautiful Balabushka Tribute by the maestro, but a free second cue to be determined
by raffle.


That's right, buy one of your choice. You get the length, weight, shaft size, and all the
particulars that you have grown to expect in a fine CUSTOM CUE
including service that is way more than you have ever received, and when the 10th
person orders, we will draw to see if you are the lucky stiff who gets a second Bushka free!

That's right, a great price on the cue or design of your choice and a piece of HISTORY
from Jerry plus a chance to win the second one free, scot free.

This, my friend, is a chance to hit the 'stinkin jackpot'!

6 people have already ordered theirs.

That means only 4 more opportunities and then this super offer is over forever.

Don't stall or slouch. Now is the time to get off 'High center" and secure your
special cue that ' here to fore' you have only dreamed o.

A deposit holds it till the cue is finished.

Call for details

Is it too good to be true?
Not if you get on the phone.

Read about this more in the cue gallery and
see the other happy AZers who are already in the hunt for
the cue of their dreams.
Feel their excitement and join the fun.

But most of all CALL NOW.

You might win the "GLADSTONE GANDER BUSHKA".

Bushkas, that will represent faithfully the cues of Willie Mosconi, Luther Lasiter, Ronnie Allen, Irving Crane, Jersey Red,
'St Louie Louie', Eddie "The Knoxville Bear" Taylor, Weenie Beanie, The "Miz," Oak Cliff Shorty "Jack Potter", Denny 'Straight back' Glenn, Pete Glenn,and who knows who else,Cicero Murphy, Cannonball. Myself and a few other GREATS!

If you miss this you will be paying more to get the same cue later
and waiting longer and have no chance to win a free cue.

Only 4 shots left (6 have already ordered the cue of their dreams)

The legendary Bushka by Jerry R, "Better than the original".

Now is the time to start something special for yourself
and if you get lucky you can win one for the little lady
or junior.

Can you hear him, "Whilakers, Dad! You got me my very own Bushka!!!"

Wait till the fellas see this!!

He won't be the only one excited when the box arrives.

THE BOX ARRIVES, those 3 little words don't do justice to the
excitement that begins when
"Your box arrives".... hopes, dreams, pride, desire, history

Only you will know, and the rest will only imagine.

It could be you, you lucky stiff!

To those people that are sitting on the fence about ordering a cue, the price we are getting on these Balabushka Tributes is phenomenal.
When you see some of these cues, you'll understand why. These cues are offered at incredible discounts and just think, you'll also only
have odds of 10-1 you'll win the drawing.

So look at it this way.......at the worst, you'll get a cue with a beautiful Balabushka design at an amazing price from Jerry R........and if you
get lucky and win, another cue as well. You cannot lose on this deal.......wait until you see some of these cues.....don't snooze and miss out.
So think about joining the rest of us........(DunnM1, Dr. Gonzo, skins, Kaiserman, westpoint1987 & myself) and Josh Stodola who's decided
to join our buyers group. Anyway, mull it over and if you're able to, treat yourself to a Fathers day present you'll treasure the rest of your life.

So let's seal this deal as quick as possible and find out which of us wins the drawing for a free cue with only 10-1 odds.......I like those numbers.

Just to be clear, I should point out that I'm NOT one of the Bushka buyers (if only I had not just bought one)...I had Jerry build me a Brunswick 26 1/2 tribute. That said, I would be proud to be counted among those on the "Dean's List" getting a truly amazing Balabushka design. His cues are absolutely top end in terms of build, fit/finish and hit. If I knew years back what I know today, I would only have -R- cues in my collection. I've seen scores of HoF and top end cuemakers' cues that would need the 7 on an -R- cue. I'm NOT exaggerating. :thumbup:

I am definitiely on the fence on this offering. I like playing with a thinner diameter shaft and can't see putting some other company LD shaft on it. So my question for those in the know, can Jerry duplicate the Balabushka "juice" shaft, which I understand was a Balabushka shaft at 11.75 diameter? If so, I will get in if all the spots are all not already spoken for.

Thanks and Aloha

Jerry made me a Bushka Tribute cue a while ago. I use Mezz WD700 shafts. I did not order any shafts with my tribute. Rather I sent him two Mezz shafts and he matched the joint rings to my new cue. Hope this helps!

WestPoint......apologize for my complete misunderstanding of our PM exchanges. But thank you for the strong endorsement of Jerry as a cue-maker.
Most of us haven't had experience with each and every cue-maker we might admire or maybe just be interested in.

Consequently, when favorable remarks & compliments are expressed about someone who's making your cue, it only helps heighten the overall thrill
of deciding to order it. There's no question this is just a great value.......MOP or ivory inlays......your wrap selection........your pick of the various
Balabushka cue designs......a cue made exactly as you always hoped for......no more settling on the specs.

Let me share something with you about my Owen Cue just recently made. It plays better than my Scruggs or Mottey cues.....and those two cue-makers
aren't exactly slouches when it comes to making a great cue. Now I can't say whether it's because Bob is a better cue-maker or just got lucky with his
selection of wood for my cue. I really don't think it's either and I'll tell you what I think.

My Scruugs cue and Mottey cue were made to someone else's specifications, not mine, so essentially I settled. How you would like to have a cue exactly
as you want down to the tiniest detail......just like Bob Owen made my cue? That's why I think my cue plays better than my Scruggs or Mottey cues which
I think play incredibly well. Bob made my cue to weigh 18.495 ozs. and I requested 18.5 ozs and if the cue was going to be off, I'd rather it be lighter than
heavier. The shafts were made to the exact mm size I specified, not just 13mm or 12,75mm and with the taper length I requested.

So imagine having a cue made to your "exact" weight....say 19.3 ozs or 19.8 or 18.2 ozs instead of settling for 19.5 or 20 ozs or 18 & 18.5 ozs. Keep in mind
changing the bolt to get the weight you desire doesn't achieve the same thing. The closer you get to what you want, the better you'll play. It's really just that
simple.

The price is an absolute steal, not a bargain......just look at the listed and sold prices of lesser cues on Az and the "special" terms......down-payment plus progress
payments over your cue build that will take awhile. I ordered my cue in early May and next March is when it's scheduled for completion.....I can send Jerry
$125 a month until my cue is finished or a quarterly payment....he'll let me know when money is required unless I had already set up a payment plan. Please
note that these payment terms are not available to the general public and are made available to the buyers whom are on "Deans List".

What I'm trying to say is "if" you've ever thought about ordering a custom cue, you owe it to yourself to give this opportunity some serious thought. It's admittedly
a lot of money for a cue but these cues are worth a lot more than what we're paying and the terms are just hard to pass up, at least for me it was.

p.s .........RandyinHawaii.....you should give Jerry a call on Monday.....(814) 723-8322 (Warren, PA).

I guess its not clear to everyone that Dean needs absolutely no assistance in the selling process.

Great promo here Captain Campbell
 
RascalDoc.....look forward to chatting with you more about your cue design after you speak with Jerry.

Matt B.
 
Of all sad words from tongue and pen,

you can still order a cue at the $1750 special pricing and
get the cue of your dreams, but the free cue raffle is filled
The cue is the main thing,but the raffle made for extra fun

I hope you guys enjoyed the fun

I would like to do something special and have some give aways

PM me if you have any ideas,PM ONLY
 
Wow,

I talked with Jerry Rauenzahn and he has the original Bushka acrylics in green, blue, and copperish gold he used on his cues. Jerry wanted to let the first ten Tribute buyers know they had this acrylic available to them.

OMG

These are classics!!!

John




 
Oh Boy....my Balabushka cue underway has rings galore in the design........I gotta call Jerry..............Wow.................this is a phenomenal find..........Guys, we just found the Mother Load.

Personally, I'm thinking the top or bottom acrylic.......I lean towards the bottom but that green is gorgeous.......gotta consult with Jerry on this one.

It's amazing the stuff Jerry has. He bought volumes of various materials before these items became so scarce that they're essentially not available any longer.

Thanks for sharing such great news. I am excited thinking about what would work best with my cue veneers........probably the top green but that bottom one is a doozy.

Okay....Quick Update........It appears #10 slot has been filled based upon my conversation with Jerry R. today.
Dean said it was okay to post this news and that there also are still two (2) buyer down-payments Jerry hasn't received yet, not including buyer #10.

Jerry is anticipating to have everyone's down-payment by next week; if you haven't sent yours in, please do so as soon as possible.
After Jerry confirms with Dean that he's received everyone's cue order & down-payment, the drawing for the free pool cue can take place.

I'm just reporting the evening news and so if by chance you have any questions, Deanoc is the best person to ask.
