OK so most of us had a girlfriend or hook-up that they weren't especially showing off to their friends.

I figure it's often the same with cues. You had one that you liked but you don't brag about it because it didn't have the status of a big name.

Maybe you still have it in your closet. You won't sell it and when nobody is around you still shoot with it sometimes.

I have shown pictures of my Cobra and Mizerak cues in the forum....it didn't hurt, it was liberating. :wink: With a proper ferrule and tip they shoot just fine, with a better shaft they shoot even better. With nothing they are fine for a beginner or just for playing around.

So yeah......you can leave out the ugly woman....let's hear about the affair with the cheap pool cue. :thumbup:

Ladies, don't take offense....you know you did it too....LOL! I'm not sexist. If you're hiding a cheap pool cue in your past or in your closet I would love to hear about that too. :)

I had an ugly Mali with icky red wrap and "just not right" greyish-brown stain color on the featureless wood. It hit with a "kind if damp" feel. But I probably shot as well with it as anything. Never liked look or feel of it, but couldn't get rid of it either.

I once left it in a bar. Realized it was missing a couple days later, went to check, and found it in the cue rack. Apparently it wasn't evennice enough to steal!

I finally gave it away to a buddy - who used it for a couple years and liked it.

Oh yeah, I like something to hold onto too.
Just that I prefer a bit more forward balance.

I don't have anything in the ugly cue dept, altho, thats all the pawn shops
around here carry. I should get one and put a good shaft to it.

I like my pool cues the same as I like my wife, sexy! One cost me money and one makes me money, I'll let you decide which.

But there was that one time at band camp.........:thumbup:

Long ago, I had a Meucci Maximum cue.. It was a cheap cue, but I played with it for a lonnnnng time... First, I got arrested by the MPs and it was confiscated, because I was gambling in the enlisted club. They held it for almost 2 months, and I had to buy a Steve Mizerak to get me by until I got it back.

Then, a few months after I got it back, it was stolen from the dayroom, and I bought a Meucci sneaky Pete for about $150.00. Played with that one for about 8-9 years before I gave it to my Dad.

I also played with one of the old one-color McDermott's back in the day, whilst I dreamed of having enough money for a Schon.

My first cue was an aluminum joint Duffrin I paid $60 for in the mid 1980's. I used it for a couple of years. Don't remember if I liked the hit or not (I don't think I did). It wasn't bad looking...black nylon wrap and some kind of dark stained wood. Didn't like the taper on the shaft...was sort of a constant taper from the tip to the joint.

Replaced it with a McDermott which has the brightest red nylon wrap you ever saw...Cue hit nice and I liked the feel of it when I bought it...but that wrap was ugly. Can't remember what I ever did with that cue. I probably sold it cheap...or I might have given it away. Wasn't a bad cue...just out grew it.

Check out the custom Ostrich skin wrap

On this old Palmer I have. If this cue was in better shape and had any value I would get it re wrapped. The leather looks like a bath tub anti skid mat my mom has. Offers anyone?
