Who's cues hit like (*&%?

I would think after all of those years you would realize thousands of cues get bought and sold on here without being hit with or looked over first. The longer you have been on here the more respect you command. Your opinion on here means nothing compared to almost everyone else on here.

l:grin-square: oh well.
your handle is Jensen lover....
meaning Jensen cues from southern U.S.?
a good friend of mine had a spliced 4 point from him. (looked like an old school Runde Schon no inlay with stitched ringwork and all...but didnt have the sound,schon hit) his cues are pretty nice. piloted steel joint.....played almost identical to my Pop's jacoby... nice balance just a flat hitting sounding cue(could have been the tip).
yours hit that way too?

Probably when Jerry was still with us. Now that there are only 2 people that are actually making cues in that shop, I would say a 4XX SW might be a rarity.
By the way, that cue you have is awesome. I really like how the ringwork sets off the wood. Congrats on a great (and unique!) SW!

OK this is an old thread , I went through 23 pages and I do not recall seeing
Schick
Searing
Hercek
Barry
Perry Weston
White
Hayley
and numerous others mentioned in a negitive light.
Bender, Gina and Gus had one or two comments about not being what was expected but nothing damning.
I found it interesting reading. The cues that were mentioned in a not so positive light for the most part were also mentioned as exceptions and not as knocks on the maker. For one I appricated reading the not so happy comments as much or more than the best on earth comments I so often see. I think it was Vince Lambardy(SP) that said something to the effect that in the if you strive for perfection you can obtain excellance.

When I was there there were 4 guys working on cues, and Laurie.
Seems pretty much like an assembly line to me.

Waiting List
It's a good thing Southwest has some guys in the shop learning their methods
so when Mikey retires they can continue to work through their perpetual 10-year waiting list.

How long ago was that? I'm just asking because I thought Laurie said they were down to 2 guys about a year ago, due to health issues. That might have changed though. I was just wondering...
Respect
Well I am a new Member here,only have 3 posts counting this one. So although my opinion may mean nothing.....I feel obligated to to say to other newbies here that I value everyones opinion....I reflect on the info given.....compare it to my own experiences.....discern it's revelance.....and make an informed decision about agreeing or disagreeing with said opinion.
Respect cannot be commanded.....it is earned thru trust and repeated performance. I dare say there are more than a few in this community that have far exceeded the time frame you demand for showing respect......that still betray their ignorance or lack of character by indulging their own egos or closing their minds to an "outsiders" opinion

Beginning to think a lot of the feel and hit is all in the tip and weight. I suppose I haven't played with a lot of the fancy high end cues, but I have shot with a $4000 Lambros, my own personal Lambros Sneaky, Samsara, Sly, all kinds of Predator's, OB, Meucci, Lucasi, Players, and a lot of cheap import cues. To be honest I couldn't really tell the difference it "hit" all that much. I could tell a difference in the weight of the cue and hardness of the tip. At first heavy cues tended to feel very nice and solid, but I now really enjoy the lighter cues and hard tips.
I'd figure weight and tip hardness is where everyone judges a cue. Still might be a newb though.
Although…worst cue I've ever played with was this crooked ass hell, oddly weighted, with a tip longer than the ferrule house cue at union jacks in columbia, md. I mean its not really a pool hall but even for a bar/pub cue…….just damn.

My Carmelli was a very fickle thing. I had good days when I could play well with it, and bad days where I could hardly make a ball. I didn't think the hit was bad, or that it felt wrong in my hands. I think that it was too whippy. I had someone else try it out for a while, loved it, and he bought it.

I think I would have been mad at that particular fellow for sending me off to sell his damaged then poorly repaired $4k cue without disclosing it's dark past (and present) to me. :angry:
best,

40 or 50 year old house Cues play great.
Honestly when you find a Cue that play like S&$t wait for some player who is very good to show you how bad they play with that crappy Cue.
