If you had tons of dough to buy 1 cue.

Bill Schick titlist conversion. I know where the cue is. If he ever wants to sell it, I will be done looking for cues.
 
I don't know...I really just don't know. :confused:

I've got so many great cue makers in my back yard. Schick, Mike Johnson (almost really in back yard), Norwela, others. The guys in Mississippi and Texas. Then I also have some forum favorites Mike Webb, Tucker, Zinzola etc.

I'm sooooooooo confused!
 
It would be a tough choice between a Brunswick 360 & The Golden Balabushka...but that would be for their historical/collector value alone.

I haven't played with enough different cues to say which one I would want for a playing cue. That is a search that will take a few more years...my rough ETA is 2035.

Which cue would would you buy and why? Remember you have the cash to buy any cue your heart desires and if you spend less thinking you will pocket the cash that doesn't apply.

Sp which custom maker or production would you buy?
Me i stink anything over 2k and its a waste of money but if i could buy any it would probably be a balabuska, Searing or a Szamboti.:wink:.

I have a Barry Szamboti on order and that's my dream cue.

I had to promise Barry I wouldn't put a Predator on it. That would be like owning a Monet and having it framed at One Hour Photo.

This Balabuska

I first saw this cue when I was probably 12 or something like that and it was the most gorgeous thing I ever saw even tho its just a plain 4 pointer......thats the cue that got my head wrapped around cues/cuemaking

it was my first crush :)

I agree there are so many great cue makers available to do any type of design for the right price.

I think If I had unlimited money I'd like to spend some time trying to create a cue of my own. However, I'm never quite happy with my own creations so my cue coul never be perfect!

I would try to buy Willie Mosconi's Balabushka

That would be an awesome buy!

I thought he played with a Rambow.

I know he had a number of Palmer's but he mostly just got them and sold them as a sideline.

I would buy a cue from one of the makers that post here and probably spend no more than 2K on it. With the money I saved, I would build my own pool room and equip it right. I figure 3 tons of $100 bills would do me. :D
 
Rosewood on Rosewood Barry Szamboti...why.....because I like the way Barry's cues play and I like Barry!
 
Short answer, the one that will never miss a ball. Ok, for real now. Richard Black ivory crown, long butt tad, rosewood Gus hoppie, last but not least is some sort of box cue, don't really care who.
 
Back in 1987 at the Golden 8-Ball in Phoenix, there was a cue that was for sale that I cant remember the manufacturer, of the model.

It went for $1500.00 back then, and it had 4 playing card inlay's in the butt of the cue, and each card was a puzzle of inlays, making the whole.

(and it wasnt the Meucci playing card cue)

The only things I can remember are JT-5 or JTS or JTS-5.

Wish I could remember the brand/model because I would look hard for one again.

I would buy Fat Boy's Black Boar it is the best hitting cue I have ever played with and I have owned cues from just about every cue maker on the planet including but not limited to Searing, Showman, Mobley, SW, TAD, Prewitt, Tascarella, Gina, Cognoscenti and many, many, many others.
