Made a trip and picked up this cue I had made from the Tascarella’s.
This is a duplicate of Willie Mosconi’s famous Balabushka cue. This cue was made on the same machinery from George Balabushka’s shop using mostly modern day materials.
Only the bumper and the rings were the only parts used from Balabushka’s shop. The bottom sleeve on Mosconi’s original cue was black acrylic and this cue is made out of Ebony wood. Also the cue has 5 veneers instead of 4.
The cue has a very hard hit to it and I’m very happy to have it made in Willie’s memory and by the absolute best pool cue makers the Tascarella’s. The last pictures are of Willie’s Balabushka that sold at auction for $92,000.Thanks guys and I’m looking forward to the next 4 cues on my order.
