Cuestock 2026 Kickoff

CUESTOCK 2026: NOT EVERY LEGEND HOLDS A POOL CUE TO PLAY THE GAME.
Some build them. Some collect them. Some have spent a lifetime chasing that ONE cue.
And this weekend, they’re all under one roof!

Welcome to the official kickoff of CUESTOCK 2026!
Imagine walking into a room where the people who create some of the world’s most extraordinary custom cues are standing alongside the collectors who have spent decades hunting them down.

Now imagine those same people opening their collections, sharing stories, revealing the history behind their prized possessions, and talking about the craftsmanship that makes these cues so special.
This isn’t your average pool tournament.
This is the WHO’S WHO of the custom cue world!
Master cue makers. Serious collectors. Historians. Enthusiasts. And people who can look at a piece of wood and tell you a story that goes back 50 years.
And the cues?

Some belong in museums. Some are worth more than the cars we drive. And some are simply PRICELESS to the people who own them.
But here’s what makes Cuestock special.
It’s not just about what these cues are worth.
It’s about the hands that made them, the stories behind them, the friendships they’ve created, and the passion that keeps this incredible art form alive.
Today, the microphones were on, the collections were on display, and the stories were flowing!
I had the privilege of capturing some of these moments through my lens, and believe me, there’s a LOT to see!

NOW HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN!
Take your time scrolling through these photos. Look closely. You might recognize a legendary cue maker, a familiar collector, or even a cue you’ve only heard stories about.
