joey you make a good point, but unforunately he didnt.
i own a few of his cues. i like them for what they are. due do me going to climate changing countries all the time i figured it couldnt hurt to get one off of the bay for a few hundred and if it was cannon fodder oh well. but when i recieved the cue two years ago in iraq it was in prefect health, played as well as anything and served its purpose. i didnt feel like taking a 1200 schon to iraq or another custom for that matter. so for me dale does serve a purpose. and due to ebay it fits by budget quite nicely.
however for all those who he screwed out of alot of money, that has to leave a sour taste that wont be forgiven.
i ran into some guy in the army, while i was in iraq, that had a $900+ predator cue. i think if i had brought a cue with me i'd have just brought a cheaper viking
