Now that I’m older, I thought it was great that I seemed to have more patience. Turns out I just don’t give a shit.

Since this is your sale, you can say pretty much anything you want to.
The problem is that someone might actually believe you.
My point in question is your following statement :

"Note the light weight and narrow tip. This cue has been built to be especially 'springy' to offer a Break Cue akin to the 'bendy' poles that pole vaulters use to 'spring' themselved up and over the bar. This cue shaft, with added 'spring' from the WilleeCue Ferrule snap into the cue ball and rebounds the cue ball off of the cue tip with exceptional speed .... Offering a Monster Break."

The fact that the shaft is bending the way it is, is also akin to lost energy. That's energy that's not getting 'through' the QB.
The recoil or 'spring' that you're referring to is a mute point.
The QB has long since left the area as your shaft is springing back to straight. There is no gain to be had from a shaft that is bending on impact. Ever notice how long it takes for the vaulter's pole to uncoil?

IMHO (which at times is not so humble) is that this cue may make a tremendous 'player' but falls far short of being a "Monster Breaker".

I do wish you luck with your sale, I just feel that accurate info is a better selling point.
Quite a 'bump' huh?
