Here is a blurb on the Libra company I found on Cueaddicts.com:
"Libra cues were made only a few years in the late ‘80s early 90’s by Johnny Sanchez and his partner, Jack Potter, out of Dallas, TX. Their total production numbered at most a few hundred cues. These cuemakers were heavily influenced by David Paul Kersenbrock, as one could surmise. These cues remain well-known throughout the industry not only for their exceptional rarity but also for the fine playability, unique designs, and superb craftsmanship

Nice Libra.

Can you elaborate on the "Kersh influenced" statement?

Good luck with your sale:)
 
I can!

That cue hits and plays exactly like a premium playing Kershenbrock! I speak from experience.
Nick :)
 
the builders of Libra cues from what I understand, consulted with DPK on cue building and used his tecniques and made they're cues look DPKish, ringwork etc.

Does the butt have a compound or straight taper?:)
 
After close examination I'd say it is a straight taper

No one can dispute what your saying because you are the only one to hit and play with a premium playing KERSHENBROCK:confused:
 
Nick's close friend has a Kersh that the hit & play is way top notch, but I haven't seen & played with every DPK out there, The owner let my play with his cue and it was quite amazing, BTW he is the original owner and has no intention of selling his cue......

One of my one pocket playing buddies bought a Kershenbrock in the middle 80's. It is one sweet hiting cue. It is all he plays with. He will never sell it.
Cue addicts Sean or Iron Chef might agree also as far as this particular cue's sweet hit.
Nick :)
 
DPK was never in the LIBRA shop which was located in SANCHEZ's garage in Dallas, TX. whereas he spent a LOT of time with JF. FWIW he did speak with SANCHEZ.

The butts of DPK cue's from that era have a PRONOUNCED compound taper, std. L's don't.

I sold many to my good friend JOHN WRIGHT. Being the consumate cue pimp he dubbed them the "poor man's KB" which stimulated sales. The relashonship between DPK and SANCHEZ/POTTER has been exaggerated

They are, IMHO, good playing, well made as a rule and good investments.

BTW how does your new Hill cue play?

I like the cue. It's sound and whitey reacts in a predictable fashion.

I'm liking wrapless cues more and more vs linen because "older" linen can gain in excess of a half an ounce of weight in humid conditions.

Thanks for asking....
 
Nice cue Bump

Bump for Phil. I am thinking about your deal Phil and I might have to do it. Talk later!
Nick ;)
 
just to let you know

his name is David paul kersenbrock not kershenbrock i would give you a 1000 for the cue
 
Thanks

I can't spell my name either half the time. I think this cue is sold Master speller if not I will get it later this week and I will bring way more bones than your kind offer!!
Thanks for the spelling lesson and I wish DPK would come back around here and rip another friends lath apart. I may not be able to spell his name but man I have been telling funny stories about that man for decades!
He sure can make a nice cue when he wants too!
Nick :)
