In that movie the "Balabushka" is actually a Joss cue. I believe they still make it today, called "the color of money cue."
(edit) They do. Here it is: https://www.ozonebilliards.com/product/joss-cues-the-color-of-money-pool-cue?msclkid=241a690f72e9188385d034fa4b54e3d9
Really, you should watch "The Hustler" to get a better understanding of "The color of money".
Pool players think The Hustler is about pool, but in reality, it's a love tragedy. Newman got an Oscar for color of money, but he really should have won one for his work in The Hustler.
