Hi,

what's your experience with buying carbon break cues from Asia. I'm not talking about no name brands or the poorly copied expensive brands. We now have some very established low price brands like Wolf, OKHealing, Konllen or even Rhino from the Philippines who produce a range of different carbon fiber cues way less expensive than American brands. Have you bought and used a break cue of one of them? Can you give some feedback about playability and longevity?

Thanks

For people just starting out collecting... what cue makers/brands would you suggest investing in now for UNDER $800 that will only GO UP in value? If people thought of collecting as an investment, or a collection to leave their children/grandchildren 30 years from now... which makers would you suggest will only increase in value?

I think this would be a very interesting conversation. Some cue makers are very talented but only start making cues in their older years and don't have time to build a name for themselves. Other cue makers that are younger may end up "selling out" and mass producing and dilute the market. (or maybe don't win awards that seem to help value).

What makers (under $800) would you predict would be valuable in 20 years? I'm dying to hear the thoughts from so many different experts on here.

PLEASE let's leave out of the discussion "Just buy what hits the way you like". Obviously, those are the ones we play with. I'm talking about INVESTMENT quality that can currently be bought at very reasonable prices. Things you stick in the closet because you feel it's going to be valuable.

I have for sale a HOW ebony cue that has segmented EE wrap. It comes with a 12.5 mm How Flash shaft.

I believe it is the HOW PS-01 model with upgraded EE wrap and Flash shaft.

Butt specs:

- condition = very good. Rolls straight. Only one nick in finish on the butt cap (see picture). Couple of lines in butt that you can se, but hard to feel (see picture).

Shaft specs:

- weight = approximately 3.8oz
- length = approximately 29'
- tip = HOW tip
- tip diameter = approximately 12.5mm
- condition = very good (don't see or feel any dents or scratches and rolls straight separate and together with butt.)

Extension specs:
