Rack Club Cue Wanted

[Reini0100]

black ebony butt! ash wood! 1 piece. made between the 70's and 80's

[SouthPaw]

I thought all rack cues had cheap wood used, and the black one's are just painted..?

[Reini0100]

yes I search this cheap wood! if its ebony or only black painted I dont know! any helps?

[j6uk]

i don't thick the industry were painting cues back them, but why would you think this cue that your after would be a club cue?

[Reini0100]

because Doherty plays with one of them and its known thats a club cue!

[j6uk]

i think kens is a 3/4 cue.
iv only ever seen a one piece ebony and ash on the rack in a working mens club and they looked like they'd been made in the 50s or earlier

yes its now a three quartier after his little butt damage! was repaired by a cue maker! a working mens club? what is it? did this cue have a brass ferrule? regards

[j6uk]

these are social clubs with few snooker tables in them. yes some had ferrules and some not, some machine spliced cues and others handmade, wouldn't call them club cues

[Reini0100]

rack cue that was supplied with the tables! kens is a machine spliced with black butt! no name plate or name on the cue! also no marks at all! maybe in this club is what I looking for! any chance to get pics of one of this cue?

id be doing the same as you and combing through the web.. i wouldn't get too obsessed with trying to find a type of cue from the past if i were you, and even if you find what you think your looking for its likely not to play like you'd hoped. id be more flexible and focus on improving with a cue that plays well regardless of looks

[Reini0100]

I have a personal cue that I play with! this rack cue I want to collect! and play a little bit with it! any helps from you?
