Now you can see the answer is 15! CAN ANYONE IDENTY THE CUE MADE BY THE FAMOUS CUE MAKER , "ABRAHAM RUTSCHAISKY" FROM 1962. IF YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON TO NAME THE CUE AND IDENTIFY WHICH MODEL IT IS I WILL SEND YOU A COPY OF MY FRIENDS BOOK "THE HISTORY OF BILLIARDS" BY WILLIAM HENDRICKS',B.A.,M.S.

Looks to be the 8th from the left...

Is it the Level 4 5-N? Hard to see if there's points on yours.

Nice set up btw!

Kevin

PS...how long is the ferrule on that cue???

Kevin,
You are correct , it is 8th from the left and also it is the 8th from the right since it is in the center of the rack! The model designation is not familar to me so it is not correct as far as I know. There are no points on that cue!
The ferrel on that cue was broken while playing a match against Willie Mosconi in 1982, I was shooting a masse' shot, so instead of replacing the original shaft I had a cue maker just put a longer ferrel on it. The cue has been in retirement since then. I wish I had a scanner because I have a newspaper article and photo that shows the moment of impact, you can actually see that the cue is bent from the force of the masse' shot. Willie is in the photo with the crowd looking on, he is standing behind me watching me pocket the ball. It was a great moment in my life!
