The Old Cue Thread

[Lloydjenks84]

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.

yep saw that immediately - not different to me but a lovely part of a natural material and its features

I will try to find that picture from Rogibear (not Platt) of that massively figures mini-butt he did? now that is different

- ah poop his thread has lost all the wonderful photos due to the Photobucket restriction

I recommend imgur.com for pictures.

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?

[T4r3qu3]

Its a 3/4 joint cue with no extention, it a Will Hunt cue HANDMADE, first of its kind before orbourne came in to play.

Any new pics to post on this thread quality looking cues on it as looking for something older to play pool with.

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.
