World's Most Expensive Pool Sticks Wimpy’s Wand. There can only be one good reason a billiard cue stick could carry this much price tag: it’s a collectible. The George Balabushka pool cue owned by world-famous American pool player Luther Lassiter was sold at a mind-blowing price of $45,0000. As many billiards fans already know, Luther Lassiter, nicknamed “Wimpy,” is indubitably the best 9-Ball player in the world. Wimpy lived in the mid-20th century and was a winner of six world championships. This, along with many other titles and his abracadabra in pool halls was what made his pool cue an enviable collector’s item. The Intimidator. Whoever bought his cue must not have actually played in competitions with it and neither must have the one who bought the more expensive pool cue created by McDermott in 1992. Yes, I am talking about the Intimidator Masterpiece Cue crafted by one of the world’s trusted pool cue manufacturers.
