Who held what, accoplished what with it, and when?!

Where did that cue end up?

Or maybe instead of the cue havening made history due to the "Player", what about a "Cue Makers" defining momments in which the result was a cue known "around-the-world"? and for what?

Anyone have anything interesting to add here?

Just looking to read about some more interesting stories! Please share!
 
Well lets see....

There was the guy that first decided to use the skinny end.

Then the guy that cut it in half to fit in his saddle bag.

And then China.

:)
 
Joss Because of the color of money and I think Joss was in car commercial as well.
 
What about..

Willie's 526 cue.

I imagine he was given a few, had a few made, forced to play with some for promotional reasons. but f of them all, I would imagine having his cue that he ran 526 with would be a great token of history to have in your collection!
 
Captain Mingaud putting a leather tip on a cue.

Rambow cutting 'em in half and customizing them.

Predator starting the low deflection movement.
 
Herman rambow....

Father of ''The Modern Cue'' , credited with perfecting the piloted joint,,,

Made cues for ''Fats'', Mosconi, Eddie Taylor, and those used in ''The Hustler''

First cuemaker inducted into the HOF,,,,

Impressive,,,!!

Alan Ende,,,,,,,
 
There's a story of Francisco Bustamonte losing his cue enroute to a major tournament in the '90s. Tony Scianella was there and offered him a Black Boar cue to use, Francisco won the tournament with it. I think the story is on BB's website.

Mosconi s cue ,that he ran 526 with,is in the famous Glenn family collection
along with hundreds of other famous cues

balabushkas,szambotis and some gina cues owned by many famous players

I look forward to seeing a museum in Las Vegas to display these

I had the opportunity to be the first responder to this posting earlier today, but decided to think about it for a while.

I was going to say the Titlist cue also.
 
I agree

I agree with all, but would like to add jean Balukas , all that she did for woman pool players, all of her history, the cues she used and had made for her, and jean as a little girl... Also Allen Hopkins, I was with him at the SBE and he was telling me story's about one of his cues that I have.... His 1988 black boar, I don't know if I really ever want to sell it, even though I have it for sale. Thanks Dom :thumbup:
