  • Ah that's a shame. I have been very old school when it comes to cues so the different designs are quite fascinating to me.

    • I lucked into a great purchase. All the way back in the late 80's I paid the princely sum of $40 for a used ash cue with a wooden joint that turned out to be an Adam by Helmstetter. After playing with it for over 25 years, the shaft is still perfectly straight. Pictures to follow, but mainly, I have to say it's my most prized possession. Sadly, the ferrule had to be replaced, so it's a little too short and the tip (11mm) a little too big to be ideal for snooker but I keep a good dome on it and I make do. I have never played with another one that felt so good in my hands that wasn't priced at 10 or 20 times what I paid.

        • You should get one made to the same spec. It's the decision I took recently and although it's not quite the same, more so where it's weighted not the actual weight but was the best decision I made.

          • My other old cue.

            Ive been meaning to post this cue on here for a while but it's been locked at my parents house. It's a joe Davies but I think it's quite a rare one compared to others and the 101 break was beaten soon after it was produced but I could be wrong.

                      • Rack/House Cue

                        There was in the 70 s or 80 s any cue maker that produces 1 piece ash house cues with black plain ebony or black colored rosewood butt. No name plate or any name on the cue or the shaft. I am looking for a cue like this. Any helps?

                                Still got that old hand spliced burroughs & Watts maple with Bob Akers center joint ( why Bob, why ? ).

                                56.75" X 8.65mm, 32mm butt, light at 14.4oz, but 17" balance point. Only £60 delivered .

                                It's like a rat-rod of a cue. Plays nice, but never going to be stolen.
