The Balabushka
Cue Company is pleased to announce the release of two new Special Limited
Edition (SLE) cues commemorating the career of one of the most influential
cue makers of the 21st century, George Balabushka.
Only 50 of each
model produced, the signed and hand- numbered SLE2-A and SLE2-B, comes with
two 13mm shafts, matching ring work, custom joint protectors, certificates
of authenticity and an embroidered cue sleeve.
The numbers on
the MOP-style dice in the forearm, number five and seven, signify George’s
career timeframes; 1957 marks the year he began making cues and 1975 marks
the year he passed. It is in his honor that the numbers five and seven,
exquisitely placed on the forearm, were used. Note that each die is
alternating between the five and the seven, as to indicate 1957 and 1975.
