Hello everyone,
I was given this stick 25 years ago from my grandfather.
I have been playing in the local tournaments and tournaments when I travel out of state and have been told by so many people that my cue is a Balashka .
Can anyone tell me anything about my cue
I'm also intrested in selling my cue as I'm trying to get my daughter and granddaughter home from Alaska
Please email me or feel free to call me
I will gladly send you pictures
And please make an offer

Looks like it could use some reworking. Is that a hole in the red material on the shaft joint??
 
just about everyone who knows something about balabushka has told you that this cue is not a bushka.
 
Balabushka, not Balashka, and I haven't seen anyone here say they think it's an actual Balabushka yet. Haven't you already started a for sale thread?

LOL when I looked at it (after reading the spec's) I thought It was a Viking ( in rough shape at that)

Billy ,
You sure you didn't get your cue pic's mixed up ??

I have to agree with uwate here.

This is the fifth thread you've started in 2 days and every time its the same thing. "Everyone tells me this cue is a Balashka".

Assuming you/they mean Balabushka, about 95% of the people here (some of who would be considered authorities on this subject, agree that this cue is NOT a Balabushka.

Feel free to ask whatever price you want and sell your cue if necessary. But try and refrain from starting anymore threads telling people how 'everyone says' this is a Bushka. Just about everyone here has said that its not.

Good luck with your sale and your family situation.
 
Very honestly, this looks more like one of the knock-offs of some Viking cues from back in the late 70s. While it had similarities to some old second/third series Viking cues, it just does not add up, to me. The butt sleeve is short, the points are very short like a cue made from a cheap bar cue of the day.

One thing I will say FOR SURE is that it is NOT a Balabushka, or any cuemaker remotely close to that level. It MIGHT be a Viking, but I really doubt that it is even that....but I have been wrong before.

Cue sale

I am positive that is not a Balabushka.Someone on this forum could tell you what it actually is.Is the piece of red missing on the other side of the shaft?More pics.This cue needs a little work to get a better price.Good luck with your sale and hope your daughter comes home soon.:cool:
 
I wish you the best in bringing your daughter home from alaska.....

But, this cue is not a balabushka, nor is it a balshka, or anything else you want to call it, in an attempt to get extra money for it.

After thinking about it more, the cue appears to be a viking, and in rough shape.

Like bama said it may even be a knock off of a viking. The work looks on the lower end of what viking would have offered then.
 
I wonder if anyone noticed besides me....in the original thread on his signature he had listed a playing cue........ummmmmm. It was a balashka.
Or a balabuska but something completely different. Now I ask you. If you had a balabushka and it was well used...wouldn't you play with it?

And coincidentally...the cue he plays with is no longer in his signature.

As Vincent would say, " Good thing I didn't bring the Balashka, Eddy."
