bulletComments:
bulletI really don't know how many cues Harry has produced over the years, but you just don't see them "pop-up" very much.
bulletThis cue plays very well, and has a hit like a Freight Train. It also does a pretty serious job of putting English on a cue ball...even BEFORE I put a Moori Tip on it! Harry should certainly know how build cues that play well since he was the USBA National 3C Billiards Champion in 1980 and 1983 (and he placed 2nd in 1982).
bulletI bought this cue from the original owner who had it custom made by Harry in 1995 and while it's got a couple of Battle Scars, it's in remarkable shape.
bulletHarry also has a pretty distinctive Logo which is pretty subtle as can be seen in the close-up picture below.
bulletAvailability:
bulletOne of My Personal Cues - CURRENTLY NOT FOR SALE...Although, if you "make me an offer I can't refuse", who knows :-)
