Cuelees cues, anyone tried them?

S
The skill and craftsmanship that goes into making a custom cue is astounding, when well done they are a work of art, a one of a kind cue most likely no one else will own, in the past production cues were not built with the care of a custom cue, modern tools have made it so that it is much easier to get more precise and repeatable results so most production cues today function as well as any custom cue, will owning a one of a kind or limited edition cue justify the sometimes considerable cost? In the past it was a definite yes, with cue production companies paying players to use their cues and even building insert players name cues it will be interesting to see what cues will be most desirable, for me I only care about the quality of the hit and how it feels to me, the best looking cue to me is the one that helps you win the match.😉

That is exactly what you did in your first post of this thread you massive hypocrite. Not to mention saying "F them" to a lot of forum members who still post here.

I'm not above it.

You are a moron. You have always been a moron. You will always be a moron. Anyone can see that by looking at the handful of posts in this thread alone, or if they were sadistic enough, go back through your posting history and look at everything previous, although they would probably be inviting an aneurism as they attempt to decipher the senseless, grammar-less, drivel you post.

It's funny, you start pointing out random specifics that didn't even come up in the thread to try to position yourself over others. You've done it multiple times in this thread, but just to cite one of them, you mentioned "over drinker". I wonder if that is you just deflecting your own issues as your posts read like they were made by an illiterate alcoholic. I really urge you to actually go back and read the before submitting them, if you can even do that. It's straight up embarrassing how consistently imbecilic you have looked over the 20ish years you have posted here under this moniker or your previous one, Pool Sleuth.

I swear, the Einstein quote in your signature line is the very definition of "dramatic irony" when it is attached to every post you make.

Make whatever incoherent retort you like, I'm done with this thread and with you.

Looks like he's actually on parole. I've never heard of him, listened to the first part of the interview, couldn't stick it out ---- one of those taking responsibility but not really taking responsibility double talkers ----- helping out a friend, didn't know drugs were bad, confidential agent was after him for months before he gave in ----- when you're still making excuses maybe you didn't get the point of consequences, and I'd bet that wasn't the playbook for the parole board but I don't know the guy and hope for anyone else's sake he deals with he's not going to make similar mistakes moving forward.

Acting like he didn't regularly sling drugs....like he got busted 1st time when he did his buddy a favor selling him quantity of hard drugs. He wasn't selling vitamins.

Gonna be tough getting work as a felon on parole....pool hustling isn't the answer! It's a safe bet he's going to be in trouble again before long.

Tougher tables did not help USA pros for 20 years

I agree. Back when poolrooms were more common, so was action. And thus, honorable (non-hustling) amateurs could often threaten the pros.

Also, (IMHO), the all too common double-elimination 8 ball tournament (replacing ‘action’) hasn’t helped. Coin toss/break & run play can be discouraging, and is not the way to determine the better player. Mosconi stayed the champion so long by winning grueling round-robin 14.1 matches.

Yeah, pool equipment is a difficult thing for a spouse to get us, so it is just easier to buy it ourselves. I think most all of the posters here have specific enough preferences that it is hard to shop for us and unless our spouse is really into pool (my wife isn’t) it is easy to get the wrong thing etc….

Yeah, my wife said no way she is buying pool stuff for me... Although she did look for a new set of balls for me. She likes the look of the Aramith black. Then she saw the price 🙄

Nothing yet, but I’ve got my eyes on an unreasonably expensive piece of wood I plan to send to a cuemaker friend to work his magic.

My wife gave up trying to get me cues years ago after a search for “bluegrass cues” bore basically no fruit, and she just encourages me to get them myself now. I appreciated her trying.
