Yes down the road. I had two others I traded for a couple tip replacements. One is converted and the other is still waiting for some attention. A double butterfly would have been awesome, never heard of one before. The conversion was my player for a while, but I made a purpleheart shaft for it and it is my breaker now.

Haha… fair observation. Guilty as charged, at least in part.

Some of the cues I acquire eventually do get sold after they’re documented, while others find a permanent home in my own collection. The research is honestly one of the parts I enjoy most.

I’ve found that I’m especially drawn to obscure cues that don’t have an obvious identity but have interesting construction, unusual features, or a story waiting to be uncovered. To be sure, I’ve also acquired my fair share of complete flops along the way, but that’s part of the fun too.

Whether a cue ultimately turns out to be custom, production, homemade, or an import doesn’t really matter to me. I’m just trying to learn what it is and preserve as much accurate information as I can before it eventually moves on to its next owner—or finds a permanent home in my display case.

This forum has an incredible amount of collective knowledge, and I genuinely appreciate everyone willing to share their expertise and help broaden my own.

With all of that being said… I suppose I’d better go post my third mystery cue of the day. I wouldn’t want anyone getting bored. 😄

I have eclectic tastes as well.

I do own some odd balls. Nomina obscura is what I call them.

It would not be surprising to find that cue in my collection.

We play nice as long as you play nice. ;)

Interesting construction. Not our usual "cheap cue".

Those rings are not cheap plastic, they are some kind of phenolic.

Huge brass pilot.

Wood butt cap.

I have seen a bumper like that before, but it is not in my records. I made a big study of bumpers some years ago.

It's an interesting cue, I will say that.

Inexpensive, likely Asian, more of a curio I think.

Having been in Olympic time trials, and having had coaches that have won Gold in the Olympics and friends that were in the HOF, life is not as simple as you describe. The land of hard knocks and time/effort and losing and not liking it and not giving up, are at the core of greatness in Anything one does.
