Willie Mosconi was hired by Brunswick to promote their equipment in 1934. He was required to endorse Brunswick tables and Brunswick cues as well. The popular Brunswick cues of the era included the Master Stroke cues (introduced in the 1930's), the Willie Hoppe Titlist, and the Professional (both introduced about 1940). These cues are all highly collectible today and were made throughout Willie Mosconi's era.

What cue did willie mosconi use?
For a while when he first got started playing, Even winning Championships he didnt own a personal cue. He would have to find a good House cue (usually brunswick cue since that's all that was readily available and they sanctioned all the tournaments) or he would have to borrow one. It wasnt until he had won his 2nd or 3rd championship that he got in touch with the custom cue maker that used to work for Brunsick before quitting and going out on his own. The Cue makers name was "Rambow". Ballabushka Cues and Rambow Cues were the best cue makers at the time. Mosconi used mainly the Rambow Cues and i believe he had a few Ballabushka Cues as well. After a few years went by there were literally Hundreds if not thousands of custom cue makers! When that happened its hard to say what kind he used. The person to answer this question best would be promoter and long time friend of Willie Mosconi, Charlie Ursetti. Hope this helps. Brad

What kind of cue did Minnesota Fats play with?
New York Fats adopted the name Minnesota Fats after the movie The Hustler came out in 1961 (the fictional movie character was the first Minnesota Fats). Although he played pool for many decades, he was never tied to any pool cue or table manufacturer. He often played against Willie Mosconi, who was paid to use Brunswick equipment. So, Fats used many cues in his life, but none has been recorded as his favorite and there was no manufacturer he was linked to.
