I nearly bought that cue at the nationals a year ago. I believe the pool shafts were made by Andy Gilbert. I enjoy sociology and and have a special interest in having the cue Dieckman built for Ned Polsky. If you don't have his book on pool hustlers, PM your address and I will send you a copy.bobalouiecda said:Dieckman with two Carom and two 13mm Pool Shafts (aftermarket) was purchased by me today. This was on ebay but I purchased it from CaromBilliards directly. I bought it as a player for my Carom table. I will see how it feels, having never owned a true Carom Cue. If someone wants it as a Collector it may end up being for sale or trade. Bob
ATTENTION COLLECTORS - Absolute one-of-a-kind custom cue for your collection
We came across a real collertor's item in this custom Dieckman wood joint cue. This Dieckman cue, was built for Ned Polsky, in 1999. Ned was a retired publisher, sociology professor, book dealer, and author of "Hustlers, Beats, and Others". Ned died June 13th 2000 at the age of 71. The cue was not quite finished at the time of his death. The pool shafts were made by another cue maker, in Illinois. The cue is an excellent hitting cue, as Dennis is a great cue builder. Anyone wanting more information about the cue can contact Dennis at cuemaker.com.
