This cue was manufactured in the USA by a company called Topper. It is for sale if you are interested please PM me your email. I can give more info and send better pics. It weighs 20oz, Is almost 60" long. The tip is just over 12mm an elkmaster with pad. For those who don't know Dymondwood is a laminate of of veeneers of oak, ash, birch and beechwood. The veneers are dyed and then both impregnated and bonded under high heat and pressure.with a phenolic resin. This forms the virtually indestructable blank from which this cue is made. There is no paint or stain the color comes from within. these cues will not ding, chip or fade.

This cue reminds me of a better time, my youth, while at the fair trying to win a streched Pepsi bottle with colored water inside.

If you haven't sold this one by then, bring it to DCC.
I think I like that better than Deangelo's cues.

Hondo my friend apples and oranges!! The present day Palmer cues that he buys from them and sells are great value for the right price. I sell the same thing myself at a fair and consistant price and have for 8+ years. These Dymondwood cues are unique and one of a kind. More of a collector item that you don't have to worry about playing with.
Unfortunately, I had to take a real job so I won't be at the DCC. If you PM me maybe we can arrange something else.

Flex, thanks for the interest. I love the one I kept for myself the hit is stiff and very responsive. Great cue ball control! I have not played with them all but I would figure them to play the same. My normal playing cue has a 314. By the way if you put a hard tip on one of these Dymondwoods they break a Ton and a half.

Pool cue version of a badonkadonk.

Although the cues I have pictured are not BOB CUES. The Topper guy at one time worked for Mr. Renis.

Happy holidays to all. Here is one more Topper Dymondwood cue I have available for sale. There is a total of 4 to choose from. I fully understand that these cues are not the norm. These cues are offered as something different and believe me they are fun to own and play even if it does not become your daily shooter. If any one is interested Please PM me an email address and I can send you clearer pictures.

I built a couple of cues out of Pakkawood (another Trade name for the same stuff) a few years back. This stuff has been popular with knife makers for many years! I didn't feel that the hit of these cues was "on par" with the normal cues I made. Last year I built a few using flat "plywood like" Pakkawood glued up around a wood core for a somewhat traditional butterfly effect. These hit much better than the solid Pakkawood cues! Maybe these guys are coring the Dymondwood, which I think would make a big difference and make them play like a normal wood cue.

So you tried to make a couple a few years ago. Just how does that relate to what I am selling. Did you have the taper, ferrule and tip combination that these guys have. Just because you did not perfect the process does not mean that Renis and Topper have not. I have not played with all of them. but the one I have kept for myself has a nice stiff hit with excellent cue ball control. I mean what's "normal" does a Joss hit like a Meucci??

Hey! I just gave my opinion based on my experience! How many cues have YOU built? Someone asked a question about the hit and YOU seemed to be dancing around the subject!





Did you have the taper, ferrule and tip combination that these guys have.



Can't tell you, because I haven't wasted my time looking at one up close! I have no intention of buying one and don't look to copy anyone elses ideas, so I seldom look at cues unless they particularly interest me. Quite frankly, and no disrespect intended towards the makers, they don't interest me!



Just because you did not perfect the process does not mean that Renis and Topper have not.



As I mentioned I think I DID "perfect the process" by using a wood core! I also said they may be doing this as well! I really don't know or care, really!


I have not played with all of them. but the one I have kept for myself has a nice stiff hit with excellent cue ball control. I mean what's "normal" does a Joss hit like a Meucci??


What I meant by "normal" was that it felt like a wood cue. Not a plastic impregnated one. I've been building cues over 25 years and using them a lot longer than that! Four of the Ten total inductees in the One Pocket and Bank Pool Hall of Fame use or used one my cues (til they passed away). I think, by now, I have an inkling of what a good cue should feel like!

Excuse me? When asked about the hit I answered straight up what I felt.
You stated you don't want to waste your time looking at one and you don't know or care about the construction techniques. Then you have no business commenting about on how they hit? I am sure you would not appreciate me making negative comments about Sherm cues, when I have not even held one!
Enough said I have no desire to start a flamewar. I am just asking for a little more consideration before posting.

I too have no desire to start a flame war and I'm sorry if I offended you, but I never commented on the hit of the cues you're selling! My statements were based on my experiences working with these materials and how I felt the best results were accomplished. Its true that I'm not interested in the cues or their techniques because I'm too busy trying to get my own cues built for my own customers and have no use for a cue built by someone else. Nothing personal, nothing against the cuemakers building these cues. I was just trying to share my experiences, knowlege and opinions, with the people in this forum, which is what I thought this was all about! Nuff Said!
