TAR: The Genius of Ginacue

Interview with cue making legend and pioneer Ernie Gutierrez of Ginacue at his shop in Los Angeles, California. This interview took place in 2009. To this day it is one of the highlights of all the things I have done in pool. Thanks to ernie for sharing his shop and his time with me.

Thank you so much guys for making and sharing this video. I totally agree with Ernie, if I was a cuemaker... I'd rather make a cue that is gonna be used fo shooting pool with it, rather than a custom cue being stuck in someone's collection cabinet and never seeing the light of day.

Great job putting this up Justin! Ernie is an artist with his cues! Ive always wanted to buy one!

I actually dated the CEO and creators daughter "Gina" who the cue was named after.... I met Her in Palmdale, California in 1993. True Story! She was absolutely beautiful!!!

A microphone for Mr. Gutierrez would have been a nice touch
