Steve Mizerak cue

[cuefeene]

I wasn’t born then and I just like the craftsmanship of a full splice cue. That’s all.

The Mizerak or the rich cue?

The miz one.

if if hits well for you then its a prize, if not a tomato stake.

that goes for any cue made by anyone for any price. unless you want a name brand to feel good.

 

[cuefeene]

I agree

Nice Rich Cue...! Looks like a Schmelke forend though... BTW, please let me know if you ever decide to get rid of it...!

Here's some History on it...

Like "garczar" said.... It's actually an Imperial made "Rich" cue by Imperial Billiards after they purchased Rich-Q from Isaac Algaze in 1980... Isaac Algaze bought Rich-Q from Sol Rich in about 1970... Isaac then moved production at some point from Valley Stream to Freeport Long Island where it remained until he sold it to Imperial Billiards (H. Betti) in 1979/1980... At which time Imperial started the "Rich" cues line and made them in the NY area until Imperial seized production of all Rich cues around 1982/1983'ish... And aside from what some may believe, no Imperial "Rich" cue was ever made overseas... Peace out...!

I got this Mizerak full splice cue that I would love to know more about, if anyone can help me. It has the dove logo as well. Thanks in advance for any info, catalogs or just knowledge of the cue era.View attachment 815742View attachment 815743View attachment 815744View attachment 815745View attachment 815746View attachment 815747

Sweet cue... One of my favorites too... In fact, I just snagged one off of the bay last night...!

so many cues to choose from. and the ones that you like the hit of is the ones to buy and play with. that should be your only decision for a playing cue.
all cues made for people to buy with a players name on it are made for average or worse players who are chasing a name. good players chase good hitting cues. although they are not mutually exclusive but they rarely do both.
