Apollo Aluminium Cue

[Richer]

I still play pool with a 18oz silver one piece Apollo cue which I’ve had for 50 years. The performance is just as good as the day I bought it. The bronze cues were almost always 2 piece and, in my view, very much inferior.

Apollo Aluminium Cue

what oil do you use?
raw, boiled, or WD?




any pictures you can share?
I recall the old adverts and even Fred(?) Davis and others endorsing this cues.
For a fee of course

In the right hands they work, don't warp and make a nonsense of tip end mass theory.
I used one once and it was OK, bit cold on the bridge hand, and with a teflon coating wouldn't get sticky

The Apollo cues were initially endorsed by the Great Joe Davis. They were ghastly . The worst thing about them and also the long tackle which was supplied to clubs was the noise they made when used on metal rest heads. I sold one (much to my surprise) to a guy who came for a coaching lesson who just thought it was a fun item. (Each to his own!!!). I even retipped it for him as a thank you for the £18.00 he paid. I have one left in my collection with JD's endorsement note. No doubt JD did all right out of deal as for a short time they were all over the place. First made I think in the early sixties. :snooker: F.

They are excellent for mountain bike jousting though.
