Hand Me Down 3-Cushion Carom Cue-Guess The Cuemaker
- Thread starter cuesblues
- Start date
Im gonna go with Phillippi based off the points and the butt inlays... i dont know if he ever did shaft pins though or made carom cues...
Just taking a guess...
Just taking a guess...
Good guess, I thought that the wrap and the points would give it away, plus the butt sleeve.
One of these days I'll come up with one nobody can get
I want to send this cue back to Phillippi for restoration
Also, this forced me to learn how to take a close-up signature pic.
I did the settings by trial & error, while adjusting the lens, then it got into a sub-culture of settings that I've never seen before.
My main player is a Phillippi. My dad and I have a bunch of cues from the Phillippi shop, plus any repairs go to him also. Rick is a great guy to work with and does fantastic work.
I've heard that he does what he says he is going to do.
Rick seems like a real good businessman, as well as a good cuemaker.
How is that old 3-cushion player? I haven't seen him in a couple years.
This cue was mine at one time when I lived in CA, it was a pool cue at the time. I was surprised when I saw it ended up in Jerry's hands. I think he had the shafts cut down to his 3C liking.
Funny how this thing keeps resurfacing. The cue played great as pool cue, I'm sure it still does.

I think it's worthy of a restoration
When I first got it about 8-years ago (or so) I put it away thinking it was in worse condition than it actually is.
Last week I stumbled across it looking for something else, and It kind of grows on you.
