We've no immediate plans to stock these cues. Do you think we should? Have you heard they are good?

Stieve Knight played with one before he stopped playing, Imran also played with a Bear in the past.

I have two Bear Cues.
One fitted with a python skin grip and the other with a leather wrap.
I have "Z" shaft on one and an OB1 on the other.

Francisco Bustamante is the most famous player with a Bear Cue. He is sponsored by Dynamic Billard of Germany.
I think they are made in the Falcon cue factory.
I once owned the cue 8potter talks about above it was owned by both Steve Knigh and Imran.
Nice well made production cues.

Sorry Dave - yes I sold it.
Nice cue but not really for me it was over 20 ounces and needed a bigger guy than me to swing it.

from what i can gather there are 2 bear cues mark bear and the others are OEM cues made by Falcon for the European market... so basically if you take any Falcon cue it'll play just like a Bear.
Falcon also used to produce the Predator butts until the 4K series. The first lines up until the 2K came with a 5/16x14 joint pin (like Falcons and Bears) and besides the double pressed Irish linen they felt just like the Falcons and Bears when playing with the same shaft.
Bear have some nice designs but for the money (the cost of the higher priced cues) I rather get a Schon!

Rider had quite a few Bear cues, he was a high profile endorser. I have lots of pics of his cues, including the super rare ebony cue made for the high profile players like Steve, Busty and Tom Storm.
Great cues, I really rate them. Not a lot of difference between Schon and Bear really. Same finish, same joint, same construction.
