Anyone know if there's an old photo of Stephens actual cue? I've attached a Powerglide brochure which shows a "conny" but don't know if this is similar to Stephen's or not. I've seen various Conny's.Attached Files

Rex and his brother Ken had some part of ownership and Ken also made cues. The one pictured here is only 2piece and white ash rather than the maple 1piece version Stephen used. I posted my mid 80s brochure up here a while back and the conny was only in white ash that time too. Stephens i think was made possibly late 70s judging by the red metal badge rather than the later dark wood badge in the 80s. The basic conny design has been the same over the years with the multi-spliced rosewood/maple/ebony pattern although most ive seen in 80s & 90s were all white ash, the maple may have been a mid 70s to early 80s version.
STEVE DAVIS = BEST THERE WAS, BEST THERE IS, BEST THERE EVER WILL BE. PERIOD!!

Just to put everyone's mind at rest regarding Stephens Cue. It was indeed the red badge version but he hated the badge and so put red tape over it very early on. It can be seen in the Pot Black matches he played. After this and in his early Pro days, Laurie Annandale who does work on cue and has engineering skills added an inch to stephens cue and fitted a black lightweight badge to his cue. This was engraved with S.HENDRY.
The cue was bought by Gordon, Stephens father and Stephen chose it from the display cabinet in the club where he played. He chose this cue because it was "The prettiest cue in there" This is what Stephen himself has told me. I collect Connoisseur cues and have just changed to a replica one made by Maximus Cues. Stephen's cue was an early 2nd edition Connoisseur which had the red enamel badge but had the "Rio Rosewood splices as powerglide advertised it. The 1st edition Connoisseur Cue had alternate ebony and Cocobolo splices and had a total butt length of only 15 inches or so. The later Connoisseurs have longer butts than this and Stephens 2nd edition would have had a butt length of around 18 inches.
