THANKS
thanks everyone and the cue plays great
Cool cue...my all time favorite...if you want the provenance on this cue, contact DunnM1.
He ordered this cue along with some other pilots who also had Richard Black make them
cues when he visited the air base they were stationed in England.
The cue is magnificent.....Bill Grassley @ Cornerstone Cues really does carry top shelf cues.
Congrats.......I'm jealous......if the cue could have played an 3/4 ounce lighter, you'd be looking
at my photos of this cue.

thanks matt for the info when i get time i will contact him about it.
yes the cue is great. i think the joint protector makes the cue. dunnm1 i hear this was your cue
I had been at RAF Lakenheath, UK for about one year. The game was always straight pool. I would always pull a cue off the wall. New MSGT was on base and allowed me to play with a George Balabushka, I run 60 some. He takes it from because he has had the cue for over a year and never came close to 60. So he gives me another cue to shoot with. He hands me a Richard Black Ivory Crown. I run another 40 with it. So to make along story short, five of us order Richard Black cues. I get the Alamo. Year later Richard Black sends the MSGT a free cue showing his gratitude for the large cue order. Richard and his lovely wife came to England for a visit. Richard and his wife are great people.....years later I contact Richard and he makes another cue for me Atlas Special, another story.
Great cue from a great cue maker!!!!
