Title
Capone Custom Cues
Description
Michael Capone began playing pool as a teenager. While he was at Rutgers University studying mechanical engineering in the late 80's he and his cousins opened a pool room in New Jersey . He would often send cues out for repairs, but was unhappy with the amount of time this took.
Michael had a woodworking hobby since he was a kid so he decided to start doing some basic repairs himself on an old lathe in the basement. He rebuilt the old lathe and began doing more difficult work, eventually making hustler cues by putting joints in house cues. In 1993 he bought his main lathe, which he still uses today, for a mere $2,000. Soon he was ordering blanks and components and making his own cues.
When he graduated from college, he became more serious, learning how to make his own blanks in 1994. He soon learned how to make a full splice for the special order custom hustler cues he made. Over the years Michael has improved his skills and added state-of-the-art equipment to his shop.
