My first thought for yerd was grid-lock.
What's the best worst-performing over-rated cue that people love to hate?

My first thought for yerd was grid-lock.
The best performing, over rated cue, with a 10 year waiting list, with a low D shaft, a Morri tip, and chalked with Kamui chalk would be a ....

I counted 12 at one point this morning. And we were complaining about the 8 stickies at the top of the page.
Seriously, isn't there a "no trolling" policy on this BB?

Actually, I find his threads interesting and revealing. Granted, he overplays his hand, but it's good to see the cue snobs get the kicking they so richly deserve.
Bill, is that you?:smilewinkgrin:
all kidding aside, I do enjoy these types of threads. Lots of knowledgable people on here to learn from.

I've never missed as many shots with any other cue as I have with my Joss and "LD" shaft(Z2). I mean, sure, I've missed quite a few shots with bar cues, but this one's got more misses under it's belt than all the rest combined. But, I must admit, I don't think I've made nearly as many shots with any other cue either. As for the price, I got it at a discount from a pawn shop, so it's a bit undervalued, but I bought the Z2 shaft new, so it made the used stick a bit overpriced.
The tip is almost flat, which helps me somehow, but some people tend to hate it.. I'd consider that a pretty good/bad best/worst performing cue. Or maybe I'm overrating its underperformance. I'll let others use my cue now and then, like I said, and sometimes they really do like it, but it's just as easy to hate. Trust me, I've wanted to snap it time and time again after missing so many times. Then it'll turn around and make a bunch of shots for me and the vicious cycle starts all over again.
PS - I once used Kamui chalk on it.
PPS - Sometimes I carry it in a cheap flip-open case held together with tape.
PPPS - I don't bother to take the dings out of it and there's a small chip in the butt.
PPPPS - I use it to break.
PPPPPS - I use it to play league.
PPPPPPS - I like barbox 8ball.
What was the question again?

Pretty much what I was thinking. But they did it to themselves.
You talking about snobs getting kicked is pretty rich.
The cue I love to hate!
I 1996 I moved to Jacksonville, FL. There was a cue maker getting good press named Dale Perry. I met with him and wanted one of the nicest he would make. Snakewood, ebony, 48 ivory inlays, Ivory joint and butt cap. $2500 plus I ended up with 2 extra shafts, 4 total up to about $2800. BY the time it was make I settled on a simple Frank Paradise player and now have many nice cues, so it was not really used except for guests at my home.
I OWN AN EDSEL! I hate the cue for reasons you all know too well. I have the cue despite how it plays. I may use it for tomato stakes! You know how well kown cue makers will take Dufferin or Titlist house cues and do a conversion, wonder if I could talk someone into doing a conversion on this one?

Agree, 100%
They should just put up two stickies in the forum for guys like that.
One will say "HERE IS THE BEST CUE." and just list some random expensive predator.
The other will say "HERE IS THE BEST CHALK" and say "Kamui" or something.
Then lock the thread before it gets any responses, sticky it, and hope it weeds out a few people who refuse to search.

Meucci for sure, next is preds. Although spending to much time on forums
is also over-rated.
