The GB-9 pool cue from Balabushka is a very sharp cue using the stainless rings in the sleeve and simple but elegant mother of pearl inlays. 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 GB9 features a Natural-stained Birdseye Maple forearm with four Rich African Ebony points with Mother-of-Pearl diamond inlays and a matching sleeve.
