| Cal Hedden circa 1971 |
|
- Cal Hedden ~ circa 1971 ~ cuemaker from Pekin, IL
- Titlist conversion with more work into it than any other Titlist conversion I've ever seen
- cue was made for his daughter Linda aka "Punky Punk", she was aspiring to become a pro player
- interesting double threaded joint, 5/16" x 18 brass joint screw plus stainless steel shaft collar is male threaded and the inside of the stainless steel butt joint collar is female threaded
- shaft has 9" curly maple bottom end with 40 inlays attached to straight grain maple front. The shaft is 12.25mm at the ferrule and remains so for 15"
- rosewood handle is checkered like a gun stock with veneers and interesting marquetry work spiraling 180* around
- the forearm is gun drilled 3", there is a 3" tenon on the handle with a 5/16" screw to attach it to the forearm
- this has to be one of the first examples of coring a cue
- cue in my personal collection
$0 ~ Q2205 |
| Cal Hedden circa 1971 |
|
- quality and ingenuity and execution with attention to detail is over the top
- all this and consider it was done 38 years ago, a ton of time was put into this cue
- the checkering is perfect, a good gunsmith would be proud of this work
- Cal was certainly influenced by the top cuemakers of the day
- he owned 'Cue Paradise' a pool hall in Pekin, IL from 1967 to 1972 and put on 14.1 tournaments so he was sure to see all of the great cues, there was a time when pool players played with great cues
- he was also influenced by cuemakers of the 19th century, the veneer work and marquetry is certainly 'old school'
