My New Cue - Helmstetter 87-9

[8London]

Hi guys, I bought this like new Helmstetter 87-9 with Ostrich “it’s George” case. Can’t wait to get to a Pool Hall and test it out. What’s your thoughts on these Helmstetter cues - I am a big fan, certainly seem underrated from a collector prospective.

Helmstetter cues by Adam are well made with Japanese craftsmanship.

Good cues with some collectors trying to find the higher end VIP's and Lim.Ed's. All were made in the ADAM factory in Japan. This link has a pic of the LE's from '88-'89 :http://www.billiardsforum.com/pool-...y-1988-helmstetter-cue-series-model-and-value

Certainly well made cues - ADAM factory in Japan is legendary. @garczar Those Limited Edition Helmstetter cues look lovely. If one comes up for sale, I would be interested.

I've played with a 87-14 for most of my life. Bought new in the late 80's. I also own three other Helmstetters. They play great. Good find.

Thanks guys, I had some action at my local Pool Hall yesterday, I am very impressed with the cue, weight & balance is great. Truly well handcrafted cues. Amazing for a 35 years old.

The 87-14 is a lovely looking cue, what other Helmstetter do you own?

I own an 87-4 that I use as a break cue, another 87--14 I got when my friend passed and a 98-6
