I'm pretty sure this thread may generate another one or two...


The design is tremendous without a doubt.

I like the thickness of the rings in the buttsleeve on the
R cue....it gives it a more authentic look with good attention to detail.

Hey, you don't remember those....they came out of the Sureman booth, I'm sure of it.

They are all really nice cues. Of course Im partial to the Tascarella especially with Petes history with Balabushka and using a lot of original parts to make his version of Mosconis Balasbushka.

These are some of the nicest cues around with classic style. Obviously I'm partial to Jerry R's version. One thing I believe sets Jerry's apart from others I've seen in recreating this classic is his skill in proportion. For example, the points on Jerry's cue are the same 3/4 of the forearm length compared to the original, as the picture shows.

Here is a cue I made for Fast Eddie Parker from a picture of his Balabushka.

The butt sleeve in the Tasc nailed it with the original gold material. But the proportion/size of the rings above the wrap on the -R- cue is much more accurate to the original imo.
The Carolina cue, the length of the points just murders the classic appearance, though the butt sleeve is nicely done. My honest opinion of course

Couldn't agree with you more.
