It's an old Tom Newman.....and you could'nt handle it!!!!!!
Pullleeeeeaaaaasssseeee! You're not going to pull out the Ye Olde "The Cue in the Stone" malarkey are you?
We all know that the Tuscan "Excalibur" predates the legend of King Murphy.
If the cue really dates to 1180, decades before the first literary reference to the "cue in the stone,"
it would support the theory that the Celtic myth of King Murphy and his mighty cue Excalibur developed
in Italy after the death of Galgano. And it was only Galgano, himself, who could wield the mighty cue.
"14. He won using an adapted 1930s cue once owned by Ray Reardon. Cue maker Rodney Hinde fitted the new tip just two weeks before the tournament started."
