Hercek Custom-Built Billiard Cues

Whether you shoot pool or just appreciate custom-built sports equipment Hercek's billiard cues are one-of-a-kind pieces worth the ten-year wait. Hand constructed from pre-ban elephant ivory and exotic hardwoods with the occasional precious metals and stones, such an intricate process like the full-splice method can take over a year to complete. Only thirty cues are made each year accounting for the long wait-list. Prices start at $20,000 for just one cue -- I can't imagine what you would pay if you intended to purchase a set! Check out the gallery to get an idea of Hercek's creativity and fine craftsmanship.
