What’s the worst cue you’ve ever bought?

[Coos Cues]

I bought a jump cue my buddy made. Just a basic player

In Detroit back in the late 70’s there was a Gus Szamboti that had at least a half dozen owners in a month that I know of personally, myself being one.

No one could play with it at all. It was a jinxy cue to say the least. Weirdest shit anyone ever saw. Nice looking cue, no one made money on it, it just kept getting sold and sold and sold. It was like there was a Gypsy curse on it.

You need to describe what this cursed Szamboti looked like!

A Verl Horn back in 1997 - it was beautiful, I went to Mooreland and bought it from Verl. The cue was full tuxedo cue like he is famous for. The cue literally played terrible. I ended up trading it away to a collector in Dallas a year or 2 later.

Dean took it off your hands.

Hell if I know. I never investigated beyond trying to tighten it more. I paid $100 for it so, if it was a more expensive brand I probably would have, but I just chalked it up to being a cheaper label and the quality stuff associated with that. I still have the cue in a case so I guess there's still a chance to dig deeper.

I would have just epoxied the weight bolt in, and called it a day.
