Cue history

This cue has the only cnc'd points Skip has ever done. I believe, and you can check with Skip, that as you can see the tips have pretty blunt radii. This is the only cue that has tipped points to my knowledge unless he made another in the last year. Also this cue was owned by Nick Shulman at one time.

i was going to comment that this cue had to be an early work because of the radius of the inlays. real big ... not what you would see from his type maker today but he learned the right way and i'm sure it's constructed good and most likely plays well.

Well of course he tried to take the easy way out at one point and tried cnc. But you need to ask him directly his thoughts on letting a cpu do cues like yours and Cog's... it would be a worthwhile discussion. lol

Ask anyone who talked to him about shaft technology... hehe...

ok, don't want to turn this into a nick schulman thread, but that cue must have some value as he continues to light up the WSOP and WPT events. for those of you who don't know nick, what a nice guy and was definitely not only one of the great young pool players, but also a great player at any age level. i personally witnessed his run of 148 balls(might have been 147) at amsterdam billiards in a tournament and he was only 18 years old if that. today, not even 22 years old yet, he is one of the top poker pros in the world. i have even seen him play some very large cash games in AC. i can say this for certain, his pool and poker talent didn't fall off a tree and bang him in the head, i know that he has worked very hard for both.

anyway, an early skip with cnc points that was once owned by nicky the kid? in my book it definitely has nostagilic value especially in this area.

Ask anyone who talked to him about shaft technology... hehe... inside joke?
