This was a little better than the vacuum tube extender. I saw a friend of mine rip out the back of his cue when he tried to remove it without fully releasing the tension.

Plus, you can spear the butt end into the floor and pogo the cue up.
I'm pretty good with physical activities and can both visualize and execute throwing type things...I could bounceth the cue and grab it at about shoulder height
Naaah. Thats not true at all.

It's seen better days.
What about that revolutionary octagonal handle...which existed long before poisonator 'invented' it?
I believe that's called "the referee" due to its ability to quickly resolve every dispute.
Opponent- Foul, you touched 3 balls with your bridge hand , illegally pocketed the 8, scratched, and one ball left the table.
Referee- Never happened
Opponent- My mistake. Carry on.
Well, OK, but traditionalists have them made from pool cloth, green only.

Please don’t laugh, years ago I bought one.
That design seems to enforce a piston stroke rather than a pendulum stroke. A student of mine designed a simpler mechanism that can doesn't force one or the other.
So now you made me feel very old... these are 2 of my aprons from years ago. I often wore suits or dress pants when in the pool rooms. Gold Crowns have aluminum molding around the tables that would make dark marks which could ruin good pants. Often a sharp place could snag pants.
Most folks wear jeans now so there is little need... but sometimes I still like to feel 'old'.
BTW. This cue is from a John Davis blank I designed to be a player not a jewel. Alex Brick finished the butt and added the special order OB Classic shaft. All three craftsmen who had a part in the project died within a short time of each other. Now everyone is afraid to put a new tip on...
Everyone loves the hit especially me.

My friend has this exact cue... I borrowed it once and actually played pretty well with it. Not sure on the point. Would make a decent weapon.

Must be awkward to bridge?
Not really, just rotate it to where one of the corners cradles in a notch of your fingers. You got 4 spots on the tip to hit.
I actually ran into another person at the end of last year with one of those shafts but didn't get a chance to talk to him.
I guess they got them over 30 years ago by a place somewhat local. The old guy in the pic thought they went out of business about 30 yrs ago.
