Few names in billiards command the respect and prestige of Balabushka, and this George Balabushka Licensed Pool Cue proudly carries that legendary reputation. Following George Balabushka’s passing, his cues became highly revered collector’s pieces. In 1980, with the official permission of the Balabushka family, production of licensed replicas began—faithfully recreating the original designs that defined excellence in cue making.
This cue is an official, signed replica that blends professional-level playability with true collector appeal. The maple forearm features four sharp ebony points, each highlighted by elegant slotted Mother of Pearl diamond inlays. That same iconic diamond motif is repeated in the ebony butt sleeve, creating a balanced, symmetrical design rooted in classic Balabushka styling.
A black and white Irish linen wrap provides a traditional look with excellent grip, moisture control, and a confident feel in the hand. Built for serious performance, the cue is equipped with a 29″ Hardrock Maple pro taper shaft and a 13mm 5-layer leather tip, delivering smooth stroke action, consistent feedback, and dependable cue-ball control. The stainless steel collar and 5/16 x 14 piloted joint complete the solid, traditional hit Balabushka cues are known for.
Every Balabushka cue includes a Certificate of Authenticity, George Balabushka joint protectors, and a velvet sleeve, ensuring long-term value for both players and collectors.
If you’re looking for a professional-quality pool cue that also stands as a coveted replica of the original Balabushka line, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of billiards history.
