Ha, ha! Tell you what then Paul, send over those Szambotis and I will swap them for for Dufferin rackers. Won't make a difference to your game pal, he, he!
oh....I'm up
LOL.....been playing since I was about 14 years old. When I was in my twenties I believe i ran around 59 balls ina game of straight pool....once.
These days, with eye problems and whatever, I am lucky if I can run 8-10
balls. But I still love the game and love those cues......

What I want to know is, how many balls can Steve run.....???
There are a lot of collectors here who can't run 2 balls. Not that there is anything wrong with that.....just funny thats all

Actually... I have something you might like. All the Szamboti pictures from the BBOPC 3rd ed. and many-many others that are not there....in color. I have never seen this link come up here at AZB (nor anywhere else) so here it is.
Important note is that the picture quality is nowhere near to what Tikkler provides us -hence a huge thanks for tikkler and I hope he won't think that I am ruining or intending ruining his thread- but you might find a couple designs that you may have never seen before
link
P.S.: if this is an OFF-post I'll delete it as I truly don't want to bash this thread.
hey
Dont worry about where the thread is going....no problem if we all get to learn more about Gus and his cues.....
I did see another Wico pointed cue on that site. It seems to be the exact design but the forearm isnt as dark....

Wico points were made by Bob Meucci as a side line business while he worked at Wico. He had some plastic extruded and made these point blanks for a while. When he tired of doing it, he gave the idea to Gordon Hart of Viking cues and Gordon produced plastic seemless veneer points for many years in his own cues. For a time Gordon also sold cue parts, but quit that many years ago.Kevin Lindstrom said:

Wow... I wonder how many sites like this could be out there... JV, if you have anything similar to this, would you please share it?
I knew that many where Mark's cues as there are many - nearly all of them - that were shown in the 2002 Oct. issue of InsidePOOL magazine and/or on your site. My all time favourite is the ebony on ebony cue [#408] that you have for sale right now. That cue is what keeps me attending collage....
