George Balabushka (Russian: Григорий Антонович Балабушка Grigoriy Antonovich Balabushka; December 9, 1912 – December 5, 1975) was a Russian-born billiards (pool) cue maker, arguably the most prominent member of that profession, and is sometimes referred to as "the Stradivarius of cuemakers". His full name or last name standing alone is often used to refer to a cue stick made by him. Arriving in the U.S. in 1924, he worked at various carpentry and toy and furniture making jobs. He was an avid pool player and purchased a pool room with a business partner in 1959 and thereafter started making cues as gifts for friends, which quickly blossomed into a business when others wanted to purchase them.

  • Джордж Балабушка (имя при рождении Григорий Антонович Балабушка, 9 декабря 1912 — 5 декабря 1975) — американец российского происхождения, мастер-изготовитель бильярдных киёв. Кии работы Балабушки, которого в мире бильярда нередко сравнивают со Страдивари, были дополнительно популяризированы в фильме Мартина Скорсезе «Цвет денег» с Полом Ньюменом и Томом Крузом. Всего за время работы Джордж Балабушка изготовил примерно 1 200 киёв (в период с 1959 по 1976 год). Стоимость одного кия, сделанного Балабушкой, при наличии подтверждённого происхождения, достигает на аукционах нескольких десятков тысяч долларов. (ru)
