  • Alex Higgins Powerglide

    hey guys just wondering if anyone has seen a powerglide cue that i was told ,was a replica of alex higgins cue he won the 82 world championships with. It had a similar badge to some of the fred davis cues (plain silver with black writting)i believe. Any info or anything would be great guys

        He was sent hundreds of Burwats by the public after a public request when he either broke/lost his cue I believe. He then set about butchering them all. Alex was a real tinkerer with cues. Damn, they'd be worth a fortune today.

                        . . and yet the first thing in the condition bit, is that the "rubber bung is missing from butt" ( don't, just don't ).

                        The very thing that made this a classic !!!!
