Classic Cue Market Dying Off

I have always enjoyed the history of pool cues and of course the artistic side of it from the great craftsman. I have been looking at the cue market and prices lately. It seems like its either flat or dropped off a bit. I am guessing its because the newer players dont have the interest in collecting or playing with vintage cues. I also am guessing most of the generation of great cue collectors is aging out sadly. Hopefully some of the younger collectors if they exist will keep it going.

This kind of happens with the classic car market at times with values hitting a peak and dipping off with the generation that had interest. All of a sudden some cars will double in value as that generation wants to obtain those cars they grew up with. I think if you asked many players at a big league event if they ever heard of Szamboti or Paradise they would have no clue who you were talking about. Has anyone else noticed this?

Antique market did the same thing. Stuff is cheap now compared to 40 yrs. ago.

One day things will change.

Lowest deflection kielwood

Having been through low deflection shaft and kielwood shafts I don't know why anyone would want anything other than
regular maple. This is because with regular maple the amount of allowance needed is enough for you to know what is needed.
When you get to very slight amounts needed and you're playing with something as stiff as a nail, figuring out what to do on a regular
basis gets harder not easier.

Until the game is understood...it is boring and uninteresting ...when learning most players play defensively and shoot the balls up table. At that point might as well start over or you are there until the sun goes down or comes up. Try a light break...open the balls. Take ball in hand and see how many you can run. When you like the challenge learn what goes along with that. Once you get started playing the session is not long enough. Time goes fast. It is a lot of fun. Learn from an experienced player or instructor.
