That's one cuemaker I've never heard of

....snip... WHY then do most of the high end cue makers still have long waiting lists and why are people still buying wood cues on the secondary market here and everywhere else for thousands$$. ?

Because they operate on "cuemaker time".

All that matters in a pool hall is how good one plays. Absolouley nothing else. In fact, I've seen lower level players with high end BB's that caused everyone to laugh at them.

You mean in over 20 years there has not been a new and revised/updated edition?

Hasn't there been alot of changes, advancements, technology, different cuemakers, etc, etc, the last 20+ years?

Maybe it's a lot of work for not many sales.

Nobody knows what BB is.
Have status at the pool hall means nothing.
Pool cues is a small niche

hmmm...does anyone here know what I was referring to making reference to a 50K BB cue is?

How is having status at a pool hall any less than having status anywhere else? Does wearing a Rolex at the yacht club yield any tangible benefits? "Status" is subjective and contextual. In the "context" of a pool hall, "status" can mean something to someone. No less or no less meaningful than someone's Rolex at their yacht club.

Yes, I would agree pool cues are a small niche. Of course, there's probably thousands of other small niche collectables and some of those niches have collectables that sell for millions.

My question is quite the opposite: why are they allowed to be in this? As long as women have their own 9-ball worlds, men are entitled to have the same. And it used to be like this, until MR decided they need to drop Fallon Sharrock (inquiring minds are free to google this) into the lion's den. Well, Fallon did surprisingly good on her debut year (unlike next attempts). So following these footsteps MR invites some women to compete with men in pool. Oh well, oh well.

I consider the ladies tournament are for ladies….the pro events are OPEN….golf treats it the same way.
