Celebrity custom cues

[Dak21st]

I am curious if celebrities, for example: actors, sports people, musicians, politicians, etc. have commissioned well known cue makers, past or present, to make a cue for them and curious to see what they came up with. Anybody know of any?

Idk if he does. I’ll ask Barry, he was playing with a SW for a long time. He has a pretty good cue collection. Joes a pretty good player too. Nice guy!

He definitely does. He mentioned it on one of his podcasts and gave Eric Crisp a shout out.

Joe has several Sugar Tree cues.

Ernie Gutierrez made custom cues for the Rat Pack that Peter Lowrie gave to the others.
Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis, Jr, and of course, himself. Bill
Grassley was the last person I know of to have one of these cues. It was Peter’s own cue.

Tony Stewart also had/has some custom high end cues. Try as I may I could not find any pics of them. Maybe other members will know or be able to find the pics or info..

That's funny, but he's had it for years. I don't even know if he plays pool as it was purchased for him as a gift. I suspect he must play a little bit that's why they gave him a pool cue.
