Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

I guess it really started with LD shafts.

Many of the old time great cue makers resented anybody using any shaft that they didn't make.

I think the aftermarket shafts chiseled away at the mythology of the custom cue hit.

Then CF came along and it's a distinct departure from the white hard rock maple shaft.

Folks were putting the CF shafts on customs without matching the rings........

I bought a 30th anniversary Gincue when I was around 30.

I thought that cue was great at the time.

Back then there were so many players and a lot more action in the pool hall than now, out here in Cali.............

The pool halls were large pool palaces then.

They are gone now.........

Aloysius Yapp said it best when asked why he puts so much time into practicing (up to 8 hours-839 Fargo Rate)
“It’s my job.”

I cannot recall where I heard it but it was said that Filler plays on his home table, with 4.25 pockets, every day until he runs 200.

Do we have anyone with that work ethic?
