This is a Doc Frye cue. It was bought by it’s 2nd owner in 1971 at Blackie’s Billiards in Bethlehem PA. He stated that he paid $40 at that time. The butt section is straight. The shaft has a roll of about 1/8″. When screwed together the cue rolled straight at the tip. The cue is in 100% original condition and ready to be put in collection or as the owner states “plays amazing” and could be put right back use.
This case is a first generation Whitten 2X4 leather cue case. It is the older heavier built like a tank case. This one is grey leather and in nice shape with only slight signs of use (mostly storage). Pictured up close are some small scuffs and nicks. This case was personalized and in speaking with Dan you can purchase a new name tag or a blank one. We custom laser cut one here with the new Whitten logo and installed that over the personalized one.

Mid 70’s Meucci Dice and Cards cue FOR SALE. This cue is a complete survivor. One shaft looks to have never been played, and the other maybe a handful of games. The cue looks like it was bought, put in the case, and never played. Of course due to a yellowing finish and settling we have refinished it to perfection. This Meucci Originals cue was rewrapped in period correct Hurlbert linen. The butt and shafts are all straight together and apart. Cards are all perfect as pictured. This stopperless prototype is among the rarest of the pre Gambler Meucci Originals. One like this will not be found in better condition. A total unicorn for a Meucci collector.
Weight – 20.6oz on both shafts Shaft diameter – 13mm and 12mm Length – 58.25″ and 60″ Butt section – 29″
This is the earliest of the Meucci cues. It was made when Bob Meucci worked for Paul Huebler… hence why there is a nylon insert. It just came out of a Meucci collection we are selling off. The shaft and butt are straight together and apart. The has a larger body to it than the later Meucci’s do after he refined his methods. The cue is in original condition with minimal play. We did hit some balls with it and it plays surprisingly well.

Early unmarked Jerry Franklin Southwest cue. The company Southwest cues started making cues in 1982. Jerry Franklin began with cue repair as most do in the early 80’s. DPK Kersenbrock helped form Southwest cues. Early examples are unmarked and can be authenticated by Southwest cues. Cues after 93 are easy to identify and have a brass pin with a cactus, date, and number. Jerry passed away at the age of 42. His wife Laurie Franklin and family continue to run the business. Southwest cues are highly sought after and there is a lengthy waiting period for one. Pool Hall Junkies the movie also helped to catapult Southwest cues. Pictured are a few examples of cue refinishing and cue repair that we have performed here at Proficient Billiards.

8 layers of premium Japanese pigskin. Each tip individually graded and labeled. Easily identified by a signature black stripe Big Game Tips hold chalk like no other, control the cue ball like it’s attached to a string, and machine excellent during installation.
With over a quarter century of experience here at Proficient we understand that leather by nature has inconsistencies in hardness. And for this reason we test in house and grade each tip individually with a hardness number. Dialing in and fine tuning the tip you play with is one of the most important things you can do for your game.
