Robertson Billiard supply in Tampa has a great Cue maker, his name is Wayne Ball. Roberton has always had top notch cue makers they have been in business a long time. The first one i remember way Rocky Tillis
in the 70's, then he trained Wayne Gunn who took over for a while in the
mid 80's after Rocky retired. The Wayne Gunn moved his shop to Bakers
and Ricco took over the cue making at Robertsons, he then trained Larry
"Larue" Haymes who moved into Wayne Gunn's old shop at Bakers when Wayne Gunn moved to Apopka.
So now days Robertsons sells there own brand made by Wayne Ball and
he makes customs also.
