My friend and I use to play in our twenties. Never serious, but loved the game. He worked at the dufferin games room when it was still around and had access to their cue building shop. My first cue was one of those well loved silver leaf ebony/maple full splice with the white flame. I still have it, but it warped at the joint. My own fault, i was a dumb kid and left it in my car because i never knew when i would need it. Canadian winter/summers took its toll. I keep thinking of tossing it, becuase iti s not fixable but I cant seem to part with it. It is 27 years old. Not quite 30.
Now i have a small collection mid to high end customs but keep my eye out for old canadian made dufferins. Nothing wrong with cheaper cues, some play better than my pricy customs.
