The GB-8 from Balabushka reflects some of the early cues George made with clean lines, multiple veneers bordering the points and mother-of-pearl. This Balabushka pool cue is officially licensed by the family of the late George Balabushka. His original construction made a huge impact on the production of quality cue sticks, and this reputation is again alive in this cue reproduction. The GB8 features a Natural-stained Birdseye Maple forearm with four rich African Ebony points with Mother of Pearl inlays and a matching sleeve.

Cloth Options

Championship Saturn, Our Standard Cloth

Standard cloth is included with any table we sell, and is intended for recreational play. The cloth is susceptible to spills and stains. Since pilling will occur over time, standard cloth will need occasional brushing to remove the fuzz/loose fibers.

Worried About Spills and Stains?
Get Championship Invitational with TeflonTM Cloth

The next step up is cloth that is soaked in TeflonTM solution (vs. just sprayed on top) that makes it resistant to spills and stains. If a spill does occur, the liquid beads up, so it’s much easier to clean up.
This cloth also needs regular brushing to remove fuzz/loose fibers.

Want the Cloth Professionals Use for Fast, Accurate Play?
Upgrade to Simonis 860 Cloth

If you’ve watched professional tournaments or played in high-end pool rooms, you’ve seen or played on Simonis 860—the finest billiards cloth you can buy. The tightly woven, no-nap, high-thread-count cloth doesn’t pill, fuzz or shed fibers, which ensures consistent ball spin and straight ball rolls for faster and truer play. If you’re an intermediate to advanced player, this is the cloth for you—it plays fast! Simonis cloth’s tight weave naturally repels liquid spills and stains and prevents penetration of dirt and chalk.

To upgrade to Simonis cloth, select a free standard cloth when you configure your table. When we call to confirm your order, let us know you’d like to upgrade, and we’ll discuss color options and pricing.
