Mosconi Cup cues

[Shawn Armstrong]

The Universal product line is available in the US from my friend Mike Hoang aka Omega Billiards.

Yes. You can still get them through a bunch of places. However, the cues are no longer being manufactured. That’s the information I got from 4 of their dealers. So, once Mike is out of cues, he won’t be able to get any more.

You don't run a marathon in flip flops...

So you shoot with a house cue?

No, but I'd bet I can run just as fast ( not fast at all ) in my $20 New Balances from Payless as with my $250 Air Jordans ( still not that fast at all ). Sea goes for dunkin, jumping, cuttin etc. As to the house cues - I can tell you I've played countless $500 & $1000 sets off the wall, sometimes even with my cue sitting right there in ,your case. I actually think house cues play better than a 2 piece as long as it's a decent house cue because it's all in piece of wood and the hit seems more solid. But anyway, whatever cue I may have had at the time ( usually a Scruggs ) didn't make me play any better than a decent House cue off the wall, they were just prettier.

The issue with house cues is condition and maintenance. Not always easy to find a decent one on the wall that is in good shape with a good tip.

If you carry your own it is good insurance about those matters. It can always be in great shape with a great tip.

The vast majority of house cues are not a single piece of wood. They are spliced wood. :wink: And many of them are actually jointed these days, the joint is glued. Just go look at Lucasi house cues. You can see the joint line.

But I am sure you realize all that since you enjoy house cues.

Personally I don't care what the Pros play with, but a lot of people do, and I don't bash them for it.

I don't think the OP said anything about fancy, just asking what cues they are playing with.

Play with what you like as you like. :smile:
