Marcus is one of the best cue makers in these days. If you have a dream, he will realize it. I have seen cues in his workshop, you wouldn‘t believe are possible to make. I own three cues made from him and they are a joy to play with.
i play pool since the 80s, but never could prize a cue. this could also be some mc dermontt with a clear coded picture on it. i wouldn t see the difference or care for it. and yes i play an 300 euro sneaky pete;))
Harvesting elephants is a necessary task annually. They absolutely demolish crops and farms and trees in their local habitat. They are very carefully managed for herd size, and only Professional Hunters with a permit can harvest them. Often it is a very old bull that is either weakened or ill that is harvested. A single elephant can feed an entire village for up to 1 year and nothing goes to waste. This is not like American hunters who trophy hunt a mount and ditch the rest. This is a carefully managed resource that produces food, income and necessary resources for very impoverished areas. The ivory trade is all but closed except for the Black Market and those caught with it are severely punished. So don’t fret, there was no indiscriminate killing of an animal for pure narcissism.
Mr G, let's hope that you don't own or use _anything_ made of leather or eat _anything_ that was once an animal of any kind, you wouldn't want to be seen as a hypocrite, eh?
Ebony & Ivory with elephant leather grips... went the full length on this and it was definitely worth it. Gorgeous, I'd love something similar, love reverse b/w colored cues.
I own 3 cues from Marcus and they are beautiful and most of all...the hit is amazing. Just received my retirement cue made of Rosewood. Hit perfect straight-out of the box. Worth every penny!
Wow...to have that kind of money to spend on a cue (and only just the butt)...unreal! Thanks Karl for sharing this story and THANKS for what you are doing to promote pool!
How about showing the cue more. I know it fascinates people to see someone who spends that kind of money on a cue, but Would love to see the scrimshaw work.
"Arhurian Legends" would be an appropriate cue name for this masterpiece. That being said, I could never play with anything that pricy for fear of it being damaged since it can never be repaired with the current laws in place... only refinished. I have my own custom cue loaded with scrimshawed ivory, and taking it through TSA screening is not even an option given how often they "lose" expensive items.
Flash means nothing to playability of a cue. High end cue makers will choose better stock but that's it. Good luck traveling internationally with that.
I think he should just keep this as a wall cue and use something more practical tbh. Just seems a little much for not performing well. Also, can't get on board with the ivory and elephant ear. Certification or not...I'm not activist but that's just wrong in my eyes. But if the cue makes him happy by all means godspeed but I think he should just keep this as something to hang on the wall
The most beautiful pool cues I've ever seen are by McWorter. My favorite pool cue is actually a plain snooker cue made by John Parris. Never have I used a pool cue where the weight is so evenly distributed. It feels like air.
I'll never forget when my neighbor bought a West Coast Customs Chopper. He bought it in 2007 for almost $80,000. In 2010 the home crisis happened and he sold it for 10 grand. Sometimes things are only worth what people will pay for them
@@Lily-nr9zs OK. My comment(s) was to Karl, it's his video/content/subject matter and "Be Safe" is exactly as it means, sorta like a salutation ... ie- well wishes, best wishes, thanks, regards, ect. I like Be Safe, it's simple and I mean it; similar to Take Care. :) *Note: I do that with some, not all ........... So, :) Be Safe
@@edsonofilieo It's like telling people not to buy a Ferrari because some pro racer can beat them with a Civic. People kept repeating the same crap because they are jealous.
Karl, my friend, as you know, I represent Pechauer Custom Cues professionally, and proudly say their work on custom cues is exceptional! They have several People's Choice winning cues that have sold for higher amounts, such as $50,000 USD in a cue with over 1300 precise inlays of Ivory, Silver, Ebony, Abalone and more. It is a beautiful collectors piece. Pechauer has also sold some of their prize-winning cues for 45,000 USD, for 40,000 USD, and 35,000 USD. All are stunning and each is a testament to the cue-making design skills of Joe Pechauer. My Pechauer cues always attract closer attention after I finish one of my trick shot shows.
Not all the cues are cnc, but thanks for replying. Many of the production models are these days, but not all. They can make the cues custom to each customer's choices. And I will choose the hit of my personal Pechauer cues to go with the great looks.
Sorry but the man said the whole cue is made of ivory. I understand that ivory can be brittle over time so I think he truly wanted it as a show piece like look at what I got that you don't.
Cool story bro, but if you have a choice, would rather own this cue or Efren's $10 cue? Cause I'm pretty sure you can't play like Efren. "Money can't buy happiness" -Some Broke Ass
So you mean to tell me that Ivory producing mammals don’t die of natural causes? Why would you want to waste material that can be harvested legally and ethically?
Thanks Carl! Been loving your commentary over the past few years!
Beautiful cue. I would pay that much for a pool cue if it meant that I never missed.
Pool fundamentals matters though 😂
unfortunately magic cues don't exist
You can get really good cues for $300-$400 any more than that you are just paying for the cosmetics.
Unfortunately you still need to shoot the ball in
It's the Indian, not the arrow
Wow!! what a cue, the best part is the Excalibur! and the way the art is designed as he described, that's fantastic!!!
I wonder if he's vegan. He should have sleepless nights from having rhinoceroses killed just to line his cue with ivory.
Your commentary was amazing throughout the entire tournament karl

That is a genuine work of art. But for that amount it had better pot the balls on its own. 😄
Beautiful cue but knowing an elephant was most likely killed for it makes it a cue i would never want.
Yes your're right. It is just sad, and makes me angry!!!
Personally it would make me want it even more lmao

Elephants die everyday and things are harvested from them after a natural death as well.
Sheesh 🤷♂️
It's a beautiful cue, but I'll stick with my Tad from 1985. It's birdseye maple and Irish linen for the grip.
Tad and his son Fred make very good cues.
Ebony & Ivory with elephant leather grips... went the full length on this and it was definitely worth it. Gorgeous, I'd love something similar, love reverse b/w colored cues.
I’m pretty sure I met him at Griff’s in Las Vegas?!?! We were both sweating a match. I remember his accent and his unique name.
Gorgeous cue!
IMPRESSIVE "DREAM" CUE! Karl, thanks for sharing Rhiner 's cue (sp) with us.
No worries joey thanks for watching
How about a bundle deal for a $30,000 pool table plus a beautiful cue for $5000? That has more value in just about every else's eyes!

I would prefer if it had human ears instead of elephants. Would be even more amazing if he said he had a certificate for the ears too :)
I personally have a BEP southwest and I love the colors, and the inlays , the cocobolo finish is amazing too
Hey my man. Lovely video yet again. This is all I can put about this price of that stunning cue 🤯🤯🤯 but wow its stunning 😍. #HeyPoolFans #PoolLife

What is the name and the price of this cue????
Pechauer recently made a cue called the phoenix that had 1,600 inlays, including an inlaid cf shaft, and sold for $45,000
Yea I seen that. Pretty crazy for real.
Beautiful!!!
I still want a Black Boar cue for some reason.

Wow, what art work!!
One day I will own a cue similar to this one mark my words 😤
I would like to know does he ever shoot with the cue or is it purely a prize possession only to admire
He is a brave guy saying the price. I would have just said priceless and above 10k hahah
when I grow up I hope I’ll be able to buy a cue just like this.
Hopefully it has laser focus you can't miss a shot 🤣😂🤣
Imagine him losing to a warped house cue 🤣
Amazing design
That is disgustingly beautiful 🤩
and disgustingly over priced
@@billpii6314 hey if the guy can afford it… have at it I say 😝
Thirty five thousand Euro.?? He's Crazy!!!!!!Three are four thousand dollars is Tops!!!

Ebony and Ivory.
Wich laws that came out?
Like the material or not but it's really a piece of art.
Pretty steep price. I should probably just get one then..
I would call this guy Mark Markowitz, they saw him coming
How many times can one man say 'Pool Cue' in seven minutes 🤣
Efren takes a off the wall cue and still destroys you 😊
Maybe, maybe not. 🤷♂️
Does not matter, he loves the cue. Never said it would make him better..not everyone can own something they dream of

ANYONE can design a cue on a computer and have a cnc cut and make it. Where is the handmade artistic work in it?
Looking forward to your design and cnc'ed cue. Make a video a share.
@@nisterror just got my lathe. Will be several months before the first one is ready, no cnc work.

How can you not know the weight of a $36K cue? 🥴🙄
It's not the cue its the player..
That thing better be made out the bone of Efren Reyes
Morgz telling me about pool cues lmao?
40k? 😂😂😂
When are you giving this one away? 😂
Sorry but the man said the whole cue is made of ivory. I understand that ivory can be brittle over time so I think he truly wanted it as a show piece like look at what I got that you don't.
Giveaway?? Kidding😛
So did he design that cue? 😂. Jk. That’s a badass piece of billiard equipment 👍
Nice but way overpriced
I love my schon unique
Also love my Southwest
I love it but I don't see myself buying it sorry 😂🔥💯
Makes two of us lol
Jes but no....give me a Samsara fot that money...
Too crazy $$$ for a cue.
Efren in 80's Uses 10$ to beat all the pro players in USa
Cool story bro, but if you have a choice, would rather own this cue or Efren's $10 cue? Cause I'm pretty sure you can't play like Efren.
"Money can't buy happiness" -Some Broke Ass
Anything above 300$ is a waste of money....
most illegal cue ever 🤣
Completely legal cue.
Maybe it’s from over the years or playing but 36K for that grip work? Cue is beautiful, but that wrap needs some major work.
Well he over payed
Fatboy Approved
Extremely overpriced , obsolete pool cue . Prime example of more money than sense .
The sword wasn't centered
I noticed. For that price, everything would have to be precise.
Cue don't make the player.
Not for me as soon as the mention of elephant put me off
.
Nice scam
Learn english Mr. Biermann!!! 😉
Very nice cue though.
When people have to much money...
When RUclips commentators are envious...
@@nickturner2813 no
For me as a hobby player, such a expensive queue is unnecessary and I woundn't to have it.
All the 9 ball cues I’ve seen look 💩 with this looking as tacky as the others 🤢
There’s thousands out there look a little deeper lol
This is a beautiful cue.. however that much ivory is disgusting. legal or not.
So you mean to tell me that Ivory producing mammals don’t die of natural causes?
Why would you want to waste material that can be harvested legally and ethically?
We need Spanish to understand the video
overpriced
Pretty ugly design. Even worse that it’s all ivory.
