Showman Cues( View reviewed item ) In 2004 I received my custom made cue from Mr. John Showman. I designed it after the characteristics of Balabushka, Zamboti and Martin. Examining it, I found the length of the points matched precisely. Every mother-of-pearl inlay was flawless and placed exactly center throughout every location (20 dots; 8 diamonds). As a testimony to this cue, two gentlemen (one 73; the other 82 years of age) saw me playing with it in Texas and requested to view the cue. After examining it quite thoroughly, they asked, "Is this an ORIGINAL Balabushka?" They were impressed with John Showman's work....so am I. Why credited as a "9"? Because of the unsolicited opinions of two gentlemen who were familiar with George Balabushka's work and their impression of Showman's work.
