This Barry cue plays like a dream. I pocketed the first 29 balls I sniped with this Szam player's cue the first time I hit it, which was last night. It is no wonder that people line up to spend $4,600.00+ for a plain Jane Szam cue. Buying one is like buying a Ferrari. This cue was delivered by Barry at the 1995 Hopkins Super Billiard Expo in Valley Forge, PA. It rolls straight together and apart. Please PM or call me if you are interested in a price on this gem of a player's cue.

The greatest plane jane I've ever seen. Sweet cue. Thank you for showing it off.
 
nice cue Mike, I'm still using the 36 inlay cue you sold me a while back, its my full time cue, however i'm only playing part time because of my back problems, Its a bit fancy with the 36 inlays to be a daily player for me, I like to own the over the top stuff but play with something like you have pictured above. I asked Barry if he ever had a request from anyone to drill out inlays and fill them in so they wouldnt show up, he replied "No", I wasnt sure if he was pissed, thought I was crazy or both. Anyways he isnt gonna fill in the inlays, Barrys cues are worth a pile based on performance alone-aside from his name, put both together and you have a cue that will never go down in price, or wear out, it is where the smart $$$ buys cues, its better to own 1 Barry than 5X$1000 something else's. of course I'm biased and sincerly wish everyone could at least experience playing with one, i'm sure there are people who dont like them but its still an experience.

Hi Fatboy let me barrow 5k and i'll buy that cue to be my playing cue so that i can experience the cue....it will be my dream cue for sure :) hope your back will be fine
 
Very nice looking player by Barry.
I love how it is set off with the dashed rings at the joint (my favorite for this location) and the Bushka ring above the wrap.
I am sure it is a great playing cue.

Congrats on the latest acquisition.

Why do you think the cue has been refinished?

THE WRAP JUST LOOKS REALLY BRIGHT WHITE TO ME.

I HAD THIS CUE IN MY HANDS ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND DIDN'T REMEMBER IT BEING THAT BRIGHT. I MAY BE WRONG THOUGH.

I DID GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE OTHER PICS I HAVE OF THIS ONE, AND IT LOOKS BRIGHT THERE AS WELL.
