Why would you do that?! :eek: The attraction to this cue is that the handle section is constructed of black phenolic...and it is the only such cue that Mr White has ever constructed, not to mention his personal playing cue. I do not understand why people, who are purchasing collectible cues, no less, want to add or change, that which was never meant to be.

The mind boggles!

This reminds me of something similar happening in the winter of 1996. A friend of mine, who always had to have the best of everything, went to a gun auction and bought a Belgian Browning Auto-5 shotgun that was unfired. It had the trigger still banded. Since they had quit making these a number of years before this was a pretty rare find and he paid 2800.00 for it. At this time you could buy used Belgian Auto-5s for anywhere from 500 to 800.00. We went deer hunting and although he never got a deer he fired the gun a number of times. A few months later we were talking and he said to me "you think I'm crazy for spending that much money on that gun don't you." I told him, "No, but I think you were crazy for firing it." In one shot he turned a rare 2800.00 gun into a common 600.00 gun.

Belgian Light Twenties ROCK! A superb bird gun with a KICK! ;)



On that note I bet the JMW Rocks as well.

I cant believe this cue hasn't sold, if i was a betting man I'd bet that

IT WILL!

I also have hit with this cue at the Meet and greet. I fell in love with the cue. It plays beautiful music when you hit balls with it. If only my pocketbook was as endless as my desire for cues.
 
Thanks Matt

MY COMMENT:

If I were to buy a very rare Balabushka, I would have to play with it.

Just to feel the magic and to be able to appreciate why his cues were and are so special.

Same thing with the Browning Auto 5 (with the gold trigger).

Things, and thats all they really are....are made to be appriciated.

Some people can do that by just looking at them and some by feeling whats so special about them.

With this cue for sale, no I wouldn't change a thing about it such as adding a wrap.

It was made how it was made for a reason and thats what makes it so special.

It is a really beautiful cue, I'm thinking :rolleyes:
