Pallet of new cues for sale at 20 cues per box for $100 ($5/cue) --- Comments?

It's mind boggling how cheap you can buy Chinese items. Look at this scale for $7. Shipped from China, packaged, marketed, and then sold for a profit...for less than $7. How is that even possible?

I'd bet those cues are badly warped. And if they were not warped now, they'll be warped shortly. I wouldn't buy any no matter how cheap. Just a headache and hassle.

I think I got all the info I needed. Definitely a better way to search.

Thanks

I only search using Google (or other browsers) but search specifically on this site to get my results. The search feature on AZB is pretty terrible and you can't search three letter words or less.

But you fail to understand the old nappy and slow Forstman cloth was quite limiting. No jump cues. Guys played with heavier cues (and higher deflection/ squirt cues) and you had to have a stroke with accuracy and power to move the cueball around. Limited types of cue tips then. No ball in hand fouls. You cannot disparage the top players of any previous era by comparing them to players of today unless you choose to be ignorant.

Couldn't be further from the truth. The quality of instruction has skyrocketed and the online resources available for learning the game's underlying theory is leaps and bounds above what the old masters had available to them. Yes, the players of today have a huge edge over those of yesteryear, a much easier path to developing excellence in fundamentals, decision making and game theory.

That said, you make an important point. Better equipment and playing conditions are certainly part of the explanation for why today's players play with a technical excellence that is leaps and bounds above their counterparts of fifty years ago.
