Kenneth Murrell (Kenny to his friends) produces approximately 45 custom cues a year from his one-man shop in Panama City FL. His 21 years of service in the Navy as a machinist, his love of woodturning, and his passion for pool has led him toward becoming one of hottest new Cue Makers to hit the green in recent years. Kenny combines his Engineering background with his intimate knowledge of wood and old-world woodworking techniques (he is the third generation of a family of Master Woodworkers) to make cues that play better than they look, and they look INCREDIBLE!

Kenny's loving wife Laura takes an active part during the design phase and lends her critical eye throughout the process to ensure that each cue maintains the right balance of inlays, colors, and wrap texture, that will set them apart esthetically. While esthetics are important, Kenny never loses sight of the cue's primary purpose which is to become an extension of the Player and to help raise their game to a new level.

Kenny strives to tailor his cues toward Players rather than Collectors and to that end he is constantly seeking out new and better materials that enhance the performance of his cues. Of course, he still loves working with classic materials like Ivory and Buckhorn but he does like to "upgrade" their performance by combining them with modern materials and techniques that improve their hit and durability when they're used as Joints and Ferrules. His use of skin wraps (ring-neck and crocodile lizard are amongst his favorite materials to use) along with his beautiful un-wrapped handles gives the discriminating Player one more reason to "fall in love" with Kenny's cues.

Although Kenny has only been building cues full-time since 2002, when he retired honorably from the Navy, his many customers keep him very busy with a constant stream of custom orders and the average wait for a custom cue is currently 9-12 months. Since I am Kenny's Texas Distributor, I try to keep a limited supply of his cues "on-hand" to meet the needs of Players who would prefer not to wait so long to experience the pleasure of using one of his cues.

My goal is to keep as many of Kenny's cues in stock as I can, but they are very popular and don't stay in inventory for very long (they are often sold while they're still being built!). The cues below are available for immediate delivery, so just "click" on the thumbnail picture of the cue you're interested in and you will be taken to a page with all the details.

Here are some of Kenny's cues that you've already missed out on :-) Check them out by clicking on the thumbnail picture below or visit the Archive Cue Gallery

I also have quite a few of Kenny's cues in my personal arsenal (candidly, I never step into a pool hall without at least one in my case!) and I invite you to click on the thumbnail pictures below and see them "up close and personal".

If you want to contact Kenny and have him make you a custom cue to your specifications, he can be contacted via email at: ktmurrell@msn.com, but please remember, building custom cues takes time, it can take several months to complete your order depending on Kenny's current backlog.
