Funny how the gamblers, schemers and scammers of the past are glorified while those of the present are ripped to shreds.
Couldn't agree with you more, I didn't grow up playing pool, for many reasons I got into it much later but I definitely have the bug now, hit and feel to the person that owns the cue is the most important thing, if your cue makes you feel comfortable I believe makes it easier to improve, if that's your goal, that is mine, I'll probably never play at a pro level but if I work at it I'll get closer than if I didn't try to improve.I have hit with a lot of renown cue makers' high-dollar custom cues that sold for thousands of dollars and many of them didn't play and feel the way I like. Southwest is a name that comes to mind. I have never tried a Southwest that I thought suited me better that one of my own cues.
I buy cues to play with and every cue and shaft has its own unique qualities and none of them play exactly alike, even the same models with the same specs.
The same thing goes with production cues.
As for most of the cues that I currently own, I had the chance to play with them before I bought them, so I knew I what I was getting.
I don't buy cues for looks, so fancy and ornate cues don't excite me. They look pretty and may be well-made, but they look more like something to hang on the wall rather than being a tool to use.
I am looking for a "particular" hit and feel that "resonates" with me and I immediately know if I am going to like a cue after just playing with it for a short while.
He hates airplanes so this will be a challenge.
I bought a 314-2 FAT blank when I had Mike Pancerny convert an old Titlist one-piece cue for me.That's one I never got a chance to try. I still have my BK-1 which has a slightly fatter shaft than the 314-1 of the day.
I think I remember this thread.With that, wasn't it Jeanette Lee who told the guy that bought 100% of her that she would dump if they didnt let her buy half(and this isnt before the draw, it's when she was gonna cash) .
What a POS move that is, and yet all the drooling idiots on here worship her
