George Balabushka
Arguably the most prominent member of the
cue making profession and is sometimes referred to as
"The Stradivarius of Cuemakers"!
Balabushka Cues by George Balabushka were considered by many to be the best
quality cues in the world. George Balabushka was born in Russia on
December 9, 1912. He arrived in the United States in 1924 and though his start
with wood was in children's toys, he became universally known as the best
cue-maker ever. Mr. Balabushka left this earth in
1975, but his cues and the stories of his past live on through the efforts of
the Adam Cue Company.
In 1987, the Balabushka family agreed to allow The Adam Cue Company to
continue to make Balabushka Cues. The Balabushka Cue is by far the best selling
cue in the industry. In keeping with the style and dignity of Mr. Balabushka,
the Adam Cue Company created cues that reflect his originals that sell upwards
in the tens of thousands of dollars.
