That's how I feel.
You've got me wondering how many cues I said I would never get rid of, that I no longer have 
But I really won't ever let go of my French Brunswick restoration:

Were you the one who bought my old Runde in 06/07?
No, Bob Runde is still on my short list of cue-makers to try.
If I had kept any of my four Franklin-era SW's and stuck with it, I would be a much better player today.
I have owned this cue three times now - bought it from Murray originally, sold it to Lisa because she begs effectively, bought it back from her two years later, sold it to a guy on my league team because he seemed to be even more in love with it than I was, then bought it back from him four years later. I am having a hard time imagining selling it again, as I still remember the pain of not having it:

Laugh all you want, I searched 19 years for a mint condition all original #7 with the original shaft both 100% straight.
A straight Mohawk ... waiting for the punchline,
For me it's my old Mali which I bought at Saffron Billiards in the Detroit area around 1986. It's not valuable except for sentimental reasons. I haven't even shot with it in years but would never part with it.

3 if you can believe it....
Have the same sentiment as Timothy. have been using my predator (horror of horrors) for 4 years so kinda am stuck with it, despite having options in my mini arsenal. when push comes to shove i realise i value being able to play to the best of my ability, so the rest will have to go even though it'll be remarkably painful. but when i'm playing i dont think about the rest of the cues, and when im not playing im just thinking about playing. easy decision, though painful.
Got this Prince and it's going to take something really special to put it down.
I also have my father's old Peachauer but that go's to my kid so won't sell it either.

The cues I'd never part with would be my
Eddie Cohens, and Tom Coker.
And probably my Leon Sly too.
They seem to just speak my
language.
All very solid, and crisp. Serious heavy hitters.

Arghhh, I let an Ivory joint Coker go years back and regret it. Underrated cue maker. Amazing hit.
Leon Sly was way too soft for me. Almost silent. Couldn't feel a thing.

Then maybe your choices leaved a lot to be desired..:wink:
I've heard that countless times about the hit on a Sly.
That's what inspires me to never let mine go.
I'm assuming the wood in my cue must be nothing short
of spectacular to hit so solid.
Even has a great tone to the sound of the hit.
Maybe there's something to all the buzz about Brazilian rosewood after all.
Black Titlist Conversion Flat-Faced Ivory big pin 57 1/2"
I've always been a fan of the classic look that a nice conversion has, and Richard has always been my favorite maker. I got really lucky to be able to have it made and it will be with me forever, unless something catastrophic happens. And, it's a monster player! The sound and feel is amazing.
