Nice looking cues but didn’t Sang Lee play billiards.
Sang Lee Pool Cues
- Thread starter Poolhall60561
- Start date
I played in a pool room with a whole wall of Willie Hoppe one-piece house cues. If only I had been smart enough to buy them when the room closed.
There was No difference between 'Pool & Carom' cues back then or, 70 years before that!
Yeah I guess it’s odd. Those cues look good. Why is it that carom cues tend to have player’s signatures more than pool cues. Longoni’s top models being the best example probably. I have a Schuler Richard Bitalis model. I kind of don’t like the player signature idea though. Cuetec SVB an example on the pool side. I guess it doesn’t make the cue a no go for me. But all things being equal I prefer no signature.
I played in a room with Harold Worst tables and cues….wish I had all those cues and tables now….I was a kid then.
I’m waiting for the new bumperpool sneakies to come out.
I always wondered if there was any actual difference between the pool cues & carom cues in the Sang Lee line...or if it was just the shaft.
Anybody know?
I have a radial shaft that I can use on a pool butt or a carom butt and I don't like it with the pool butt.

The 'Golden 8 Ball' on Walton off of Rush st. in Chicago had Worst 4'x8' tables.
And they were the 'Worst' tables to play on!
The bed of the tables was not even slate!

The cues weren’t so hot either….but I still wish I had bought some…when you’re a kid you tend to not regard posterity.

2025 Year of the collaboration.
I hope some cue makers will avoid it because some have joined Viking.

Did this eventually become Marie’s Golden Cue in Chicago?
Actually, I made a mistake, it was called 'The Golden 8 Ball'!
To your question, No.
Pred themselves made them.
When these came out a couple of years ago, they were marketed, distributed by Predator Carom (CRM) towards 3 cushion players. Cues came in two joint styles, can be used with either Predator's 3 cushion shafts which shorter and have a different shaft profile, or ones for pool. The butterflies were inspired by Sang Lee's playing cues that the family own. Just like the line named after Dani Sanchez, Sang Lee's family gets a licensing fee. My recollection this was a limited run, low production numbers of 150 or 300, sold out within months. The version posted has leather wraps, addition of a non-butterfly which I never seen, so it could be a new production run.
Probably Universal Hamson.
