Larry
Mohr (known to everyone far and wide as "Uncle Larry") produces some
very sweet cues in his one-man shop in Northern CA. He only makes
between 12-20 custom cues per year and they're highly sought after by
local players here in the Bay Area (including me!), Of course, with
such limited production, you've got to be pretty lucky to get one
quickly, and there is currently a 4-6 month waiting list for custom
work.
Larry is a Master Machinist who opened his first custom machine shop
way back in 1965. Like most machinists who are avid pool players, in
his spare time he began to "tinker" with the notion of making his own
cues. He built his first cue in the mid-80's, and would occasionally
make a cue for one of his playing buddies (if they pestered him hard
enough!). All that changed when he retired in 2001. He found that he
had lot's of time shoot pool in the evening and make cues during the
day in his small one-man shop.
Larry is not only an accomplished craftsman, but he is quite an
accomplished player as well. He placed second in the USPPA 9-Ball
Pro-Am Classic that was held in Reno NV in Dec. 2004 and continues to
be a very active player all around the Bay Area. Now if you ask him
whether he likes playing pool more than he likes making cues, he'll
just give you a big smile and say that he NEVER turns down an
opportunity to play pool :-)
"Uncle Larry" custom cues has been one of the "hidden treasures" of
the Bay Area for several years, and I have been fortunate to convince him to
go "worldwide" and allow me to display some of his beautiful and very
playable cues on my website so that I can share his cues with the rest of the world.

My goal is to keep as many of "Uncle Larry's" cues in stock
as I can, but he makes very few and they are very popular so check
back often to see if there are any available. 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.
