hello, is it a george balabushka cue ???


what do you think??

thanks for helping.

Definitely a bushka style cue. Not sure if it was made by George or an early reproduction without his signature duplicated on the forearm. I don't know if the "actual" original bushkas were a 5/16x14 thread either.

Either way its a nice looking cue.

First, it's nothing like a Balabushka.

Second, it is an Asian import, and not an Adam Balabushka.

I have seen several of these, I believe they are Taiwan cues.

I prefer the word inexpensive.

You will not find a lot of interest in them in general but the ones with that exact ring work have actually done well on Ebay. I have seen them go for between $100 and $150. I don't know why but suspect it is because people think they are something else or something better.

They can play OK.

I have a few and am interested in finding one with that ring work but I would never pay those kinds of prices. More like $35-$40 for me.
