first two piece cue

The best cues are of the two piece variety, and the reason they are two piece is that they can be taken apart and you can fit on any number of extensions to your cue.
I had a 1915 two piece cue...the shaft was twice as long as the butt.
But I think there were European two piece carom cues long before that.
I think of Herman Rambow as the father of the modern two piece cue.

Hopefully Mr Bond will give us some first rate info.

Two-piece cues have been around for at least 200 years. A German company, B.. Finck, had catalogs with 150+ one- and two-piece cues available for purchase in the mid-1800's.

This is one of those things that I bet will never be quite settled. While we may know who the first quality maker of two peice cues was, I don't see any documentation coming out as to to who first invented cutting a cue and putting a joint in it. I'd guess it would be close to when cues were first used after being developed form the mace.
With all due respect to Mr Shamos, and all the fine work he has done, there were
two piece cues available some 20 plus years prior to 1829.

I bought my first two piece cue well over 200 years ago. I played good with that cue too! :thumbup:
So your saying snooker players are inferior because they use a one piece cue? lol
So, you are asking if he said something he didn't say?
Where did you see any reference to Snooker players? Or any kind of player?
He said two piece cues are better.
I have yet to see a two piece pool player.

Ironically it may have been the desire to repair broken cues, rather than the convenience of portability that brought us the first two piece cues..
Do you have a reference for your information?
I think the guy posting is not a native English speaker or just does not read the post, he had some odd replies in the past what had to do with maybe a few words in the post rather than what was asked or replied.
