美国 CA$H 球桿簡介:

Ca$h美国手工杆为一个两人制杆团队，师承球杆名家，Bill McDaniel鲨鱼，他和Bill一起制作球杆十几年，而后Bill(鲨鱼)，因为投资副业失败，导致破产，故Bill McDaniel鲨鱼的商标被债权人收走，Bill从此退休，Bill在退休的同时，把自己的厂房、设备及木头材料全部卖给了他的徒弟，也就是Ca$h团队，Tommy和Jess跟随Bill制做球杆十多年，相信现在市面上的鲨鱼球杆很多都有经过他们的制作，在市场上流通，但因为Bill McDaniel商标被Bill的债权人收走，故他们需要另外成立一个品牌，Ca$h如是誕生。一样厂房设备木料，但是新的思维，Ca$h一改鲨鱼品牌晚期被少数美国球具商垄断，大量生产、固定化样式的缺失，回归手工杆的本质，客制化，零售接单，用心制作。Ca$h在制杆风格上除了承袭了鲨鱼奢侈用料、精密雕刻的习惯之外，同时Ca$h，也在球杆结构上做了改变，前截的锥度、前截的制程、后截上的制程都有改变，更注重球杆本身的打击性能。目前Ca$h球杆年产量约为50枝。
鯊魚(Bill McDaniel)嫡系的CA$H手工桿，由Tommy及Jess操手，一改過去鯊魚時期大量生產的概念，改採限量精緻化的作工。前節特選密而直的加拿大楓木，以「無先角」的方式完成高難度的「Low Deflection」前節（簡稱LD前節），要達到「無先角」 標準的楓木，必需是自然乾燥並且是直又密的木材才行，否則無法承受持續的撞擊力。十一牙，象牙中輪，全桿為虎紋超密的夏威夷「Koa」木，大輪為復古Hoppe式無橡皮墊設計，完美的作工，完美的選材，完美的前節，將鯊魚的層級提升到另一個境界。目前CA$H年產量不及三十隻，是收藏的絕佳選擇。PS：Ca$h 是鲨鱼的继承者，但是品质和定位，又高于鲨鱼，青出于蓝而胜与蓝，其品质可从选料，细节，可见一斑。适合预算1w出头的朋友，性价比很好，乃不二之选。

Bill still makes a small number of hustler cues with his own full splices, which are available in rosewood, cocobolo, or ebony, with a birds-eye maple forearm. If you need an extra shaft for your Bill McDaniel cue, it is not necessary to send in the butt, as all McDaniel shafts are designed to be interchangeable.Bill is justifiably proud of the quality of his leather wraps, and offers a large selection of exotic skins, including lizard and snakeskin. He believes that some of the changes he has made in the construction of his cues in the past three or four years make his cues among the best constructed cues available today. A number of top pro players have won championships with their McDaniel cues, including Karen Corr, Julie Kelly, Ismael "Morro" Paez, and Nick Varner, Alex Pagulayn, Jose Parika, and Santos Sambajon.and are still being used today. He has also hand-signed special cues at the customers request. Bill has always used the same 5/16-14 piloted joint that Balabushka used since he started making cues. In 1993 he invented a shock absorbing ring that is placed under the stainless steel joints. The wood does not touch the stainless steel and Bill believes this gives an unequaled hit that compares to the feel and playability of an ivory joint. As an option, he offers a 3/8-11 flat face joint in steel, phenolic, and ivory.In 1994 Bill started using a CNC for his inlaid points and inlays. He has fourth-axis machining capability, which allows him to execute virtually any type of inlay or inlaid point a customer desires. Inlaid points are available in any number, though he prefers multiples of four. He will also make short or full spliced forearms if the customer desires, although most of his cues with veneers are V-groove short splice. Bill decided to set out on a mission to master the art of cuemaking and make the perfect cue.Bill continued his education, earning a business degree. When an astigmatism affected his eyesight to the point that he was no longer as competitive at pool, Bill decided to combine his business knowledge, artistic ability, and love for pool to start making cues. He got to know George Balabushka through several phone conversations. George gave Bill some advice to help him get started in the right direction. Bill later became friends with Tim Scruggs, eventually becoming a partner in Tims shop.Bills early cues were inspired by the work of George Balabushka, and Bill has been making constant design improvements ever since. Bills very early cues were mostly four-point short spliced cues with veneers and were not marked with any type of identification. Soon Bill originated a shark logo and a stylized MC logo. Both logos have been used throughout most of his cuemaking career,  BILL MCDANIEL CUES Maker of pool cues from 1974 to present in Jackson, Tennessee. Bill McDaniel grew up around the game of pool. His family owned McDaniel Amusements, a vending company that owned many pool tables in various establishments around Bills hometown of Jackson, Tennessee. Bill went with his father to check on the tables and machines.While his father was working, Bill would play pool. He was so small when he started, he had to surround the table with pop bottle boxes in order to stand and reach the table. Before long, he became one of the better players in the area, and became a regular at tournaments such as the famous Johnston City tournaments in the sixties and early seventies. During his years as a player, Bill paid constant attention to what type of cues other players were using. He became friends with many cuemakers of the time. Although he owned virtually every kind of cue that was available, he was never able to find a cue that completely suited him. At this time,
