Yep, the story behind the cue was a fun read. "Linen String"...LOL! Back then, cue makers called it "Irish Linen Wrap"...which it was. It was also fishing line made by Courtland. No longer made, so if anyone finds an old spool of it hidden in grandpa's closet, it's worth a bit. Linen Wrap is still used by cue makers today...my Keith Josey cue has linen wrap, but it's not Courtland.
Matt, in days of old house cues played quite well. Well made out of hard maple. Most of the good ones are gone, many turned into two piece cues. Today's house cues are pretty krappy. Anybody who plays at all bring a 2 piece cue these days. As far as picking up women...I'll leave that up to you.
