Sorry for not responding sooner.... I had other obligations to tend to !

I need two things:
An EW cue and a test group.
(I had this idea long ago with a different maker in mind,but I was quite new to the forum)
Ed,...build a player.Hit the average specs ect.Then ship it out to the real players on this forum.
10 players max with the tenth returning the cue to you.
Each to cover the shipping to the next man until it gets home...back to you for sale again.
No harm or foul and you will get the some players looking ....OR never looking again.
I'd like to make the list,but I don't have too....
I suspect EW will be game..I just need nine others to pay shipping cost to move it on.And I need Ed to have some faith in his work as well as the members here to return the cue.
Thanks, For your interest but I don't think you fully understand the exact aspect of custom cuemaking I specialize in and offer in this industry, so please bare with me here....
Let's use a NASCAR analogy as an example in hopes this will clarify any misconceptions you and fellow AZr's are having with my custom tailoring process that I market myself on...
If you take the number one ranked driver who is used to the handling and performance of his tweaked up customized car that has been geared 100% to his specifications and wins consistantly with it, and put him in... let's say, the 4th ranked drivers car, although visibly they are both great looking cars and are pretty equal as far as a general glance is concerened... the #1 ranked driver may not like the way the 4th ranked car feels or drives at all and not be comfortable in the least and not even come close to winning the race... as well as the #4 ranked driver may feel exactly the same way about the #1 driver's car and finish even worse !
This obvious reason is becasue each car has been tuned up to the driver's custom specifications and is tweaked to their exact likeness which compliments his unique style of driving and I'm sure the other professional NASCAR's cars drive just as well but it's not going to feel or handle the same as a your own custom tweaked car !
This line of thinking is exactly what I do in relation to the player and the pool cue... I set-up the cue to the players custom specifications so they are completely comfortable and do NOT have to adjust to it since it's already been adjusted to them, this gives them complete comfortability and total control over the dedicated balance points and overallall consistant performance....
Let take the "tip" for instance... "what's the first thing a player does when he gets a new cue ? "He changes the tip to one of his own preference and standards the compliments his/her style of play" this is the common first step in customizing their cue and more times than not... the only step they are aware of...
I simply take that a few steps further and customize the ENTIRE cue when designing and building it !
This isn't a new concept with any of the other sports as far as "custom fitting" goes and some cuemakers have touched base on this area in cue designs, however I take it much further and create an entire custom tailoring process that not only compliments every aspect of the players necessity and expectation from his equipment it's also geared up to "hit", "play", and "feel" exactly the way the customer wants and needs it too.....
For me to build a "demo" cue for 10 players to experiment with, would be counter-productive for all of us due to the fact that at the most... all of you would be able to judge me on, is the construction and asthetics.... playability, hit and feel would be at most be acceptable by 2 out of the 10 testers at best, mabey fit 1 out of the 10 good but not well and this is a complete shot in the dark becasue I build the cues longer if necessary determined by how long your arm spand and stroke range combined length are... so the cue will feel uncomfortable or have an unfavorable hit and playability to the other 8 or 9 testers, so that means I am opening myself up to an unfair review on my work due to the obvious unique individualy custom tailoring processes....
I really appreciate your offer and think that is more than fair by all means....and if I was just a general cuemaker with avg. balance points and avg. lengths then I would say hell yes, but considering the obvious differences, there is no way I can accommodate 10 different people with 10 different arm spands, stroke ranges and styles with just 1 cue for an accurate and fair overall evaluation of my work.
For those of you who don't care or approve or like what I have to offer than there are hundreds of production cues that will probably feel great and make you very happy... so by all means help yourself ! but for the "players" whether you are a beginner to a professional, I custom build and tailor cues to YOUR specific and unique needs and can GUARANTEE a 25% overall performance increase in your game or your money back !
I am for real, I take my work work very seriously and those who know me personally and have a custom tailored cue built by me can attest that I am NOT joking about what I can deliver !
Custom fitting is a proven concept that has been applied to many other mainstream sports.. either it makes since or it doesn't.... and for those of you who are interested in what I have to offer, I am available most of the time to answer ALL of your questions... for those of you who aren't and do NOT approve of me, then please disregard and pay no attention to my threads, posts and adverstising regarding "Wheat Cues".
With all this being said, I hope fellow Azr's will understand the neccesity and frequency of my advertising threads, I am only plugging what I have to offer and how affordable it is for everyone who needs performance tools at an awesone price... and once I become solidified in this market then my customers will advertise for me, as most of you point out, but until then, I have to work very hard at putting myself on the map becasue if it wasn't for these threads 99% of you fellow AZ'rs wouldn't know who the heck or what "Wheat Cues" is all about !
Thanks for your interest and offer once again, it's greatly appreciated and I do appologize to you if you feel I wasted your time with this generous proposition !
Very Sincerely, Eddie Wheat 321-631-1827
