Old cue with big fat "low end" logo on the butt cap and a good shaft screwed to it....can you say stealth cue? :thumbup:


I have some lower end cues of that nature that shoot pretty darn well. One of them happens to be an Orchid in fact.


Enjoy it, and thanks for showing off! :thumbup:

Chiro? Um....that's a caduceus in my avatar, I'm an MD. :smile:


This cue actually isn't so old, but older cues tend to be fatter, though not necessarily heavier. We do tend to play slightly lighter cues these days though.

Agreed on the age of the cue not so old. In the past I posted a mint condition Circa 1970s Adams AH-37 well almost mint and they were a bit heavier But play great and look great to bad they don't get more Street cred

Playing cue. Paul Dayton
 
The Adam old cues are beginning to get a little more attention I think. I have a few and they are very well made. Mine span the early 1970's to the early 1980's.

Believe it or not, my earliest one actually has a fairly thin butt.

I love to take them out to play occasionally.

Cues like the old Orchid ten to get loose joint collars and stuff like that but some of them are pretty good. I have a few of that type (older Taiwan cues) that are pretty decent shooters. Typically they have really crappy ferules but that is easy to change. Most don't have great shaft wood but a few do. It's fun to find a nice one.
