Steve Miserak/ Adam’s Pool Cue

[JasonATX]

What are you trying to do?

You just want a butt sleeve?

Curious...

Full cue, but I'd work with what I can get. If it was one of the Rich butt sleeves, I have a lot of stabilized amboyna to make something fun out of that.

I want a sleeper for the most part, but if I can't get a good example of that, I don't mind rolling high and making a monster.

Hi, have you ever seen a Helmstetter that was made by Helmstetter, in the US? I have not.

I had one actually. I wish like hell I had kept it. It was not marked, but it was one I purchased from the original owner. He was a pretty cool old man I met at a place called 'The Billiard Institute" in Denver when I was hanging out there 40 years ago. He purchased it hand to hand from Dick. WOW! I knew it was special, but as poverty dictates actions, I had to sell it to pay bills. It was a very nicely done Titlist conversion. It had an unusually long joint pin.
I was not a cue guy yet, but I certainly appreciated it for being special and a bit of billiard history.
Manwon was looking for a cue I.D. years ago here, he had an almost identical cue. It immediately was obvious to me what it was. I recall being offered a chance to buy that one but money was Soooo tight then that I had to pass on it. I should have just bought it anyway!
I have another unbelievable cue with a similar history. The original owner called it his Meucci. It's not, but it is.
I'll have to post that one up someday.....
