Old forum member, Hidey Ho, and I traded the same cue to each other. We both hated it. He originally traded it to me, and I waited about a year and traded it back to him. He forgot how bad it was. Maker is still active, lot of people say he makes great cues. That particular cue sucked in every way.
Other bad cue was a custom order, shafts were almost a ounce different in weight. Missed the design asked for, even though it was a merry widow. And it took about 11 months longer than promised after it was fully paid for. Why I won't do deposits anymore.
Had a Porper cue in 89 I almost broke in half it played so bad. Ended up eating about 700 on it and getting a low end joss j-1 that hit about 3000 times better.
