So I walk into my local bar a while back...

Chili Palmer

Give or take an 1"

Back in November me and a buddy go to our usual lunch spot to bang some balls and as we're getting setup there are two guys next to us also getting their sticks out. As I look over I notice an older looking cue, a closer look piqued my interest and asked if it was a Palmer or possibly an Adams and he responded with, just keep going down the alphabet and you'll get there. Turns out one of them owned a Balabushka. I didn't want to bug him but I did get to shoot a couple of balls with it. The shaft ring was loose so it had a bit of a rattle but overall it felt very solid and very much like an older cue, which I prefer. He also took my number and sent me the attached letter.

First, and probably last, time I've ever seen one, let alone played with one.

Thought you'd all enjoy.
