I ran into a player I know in my league tonight who I have known for a few years and is a formitable opponent. He was sporting a brand new custom made cue that was absolutely beautiful in detail, superb inlay and balance. It was inscribed "elbo" on the butt. I asked him where he got it, and told me he have traded it for one of his Predator Sneaky's. It was really a beautiful work of art. Has anyone ever heard of this make of cue?

No info on this one unless it has something to do with this:

This might win the prize for most bizarre -- but funny -- marketing concept of the week. Joe Gannascoli, who has come to be known as "Gay Vito" to fans of "The Sopranos," is coming out with his own billiards cue stick. As fans of the hit HBO series know, a pool cue was instrumental to the whacking of Vito on the show.

Now Gannascoli tells Ben Widdicombe of the New York Daily News that he has teamed up with the Rockwell Billiards outfit in Oregon to create "A Cue to Die For: The 'Badda-Breaker.' "

(For those wondering, the cue will sell for $79.99.)

Rockwell Billiards later pulled itin response to protests from gays.

and thus prices shoot through the roof.

Doubt it. It still be just a cheap production cue.

I know I will be playing against my friend later on in the season...I will ask him if I can take a picture of the cue and post it if he lets me
