Cues that play similar to Southwest Cues

Where the handle screws into the forearm. Southwest builds them in a way that they warp at that point
You can buy the dust separately. No list.
I've hit with only a couple of Kersenbrock cues. They felt nothing like my South West.
Status symbol,like a Rolex watch,look at me.
they have a cult following just like Rolex kool-aid swillers. there's at least ten watches i'd buy before a rolex.
i think so yea. but the ko brothers, wang can, kevin cheng all used to play pretty sporty with SWs too. i'm sure they influenced others. not a wise cue choice in terms of sponsorship but it does seem to be a thing there.
A lot of US-made stuff has cult status in Asia. Old tube stereo amps, big Altec horn speakers, various cue brands, vintage blade-style irons, bourbons, etc. The Ko's now use a cue made for them by a top Taiwanese builder.

Ko pin yi plays with a 30k Zen cue with a ko tip.
Not sure, but I believe that you've spent more time bragging about your fcking Lucasi on here than any 10 South West owners.
And your Timex! Spend the money, buy the water.
I've had a Southwest cue and played a friend's Southwest, still don't know what the big deal is about them.
Maybe I'm just lacking in sensitivity.
Maybe those two were not that good on Southwest scale of things but I'm of the opinion they are way over rated.

LOL,my fcking Lucasi is a hell of a cue for the $250 I spent on it with no wait.
And I don't have a Timex watch.
Did I hit a nerve with you,oh no you must have a Rolex or a Southwest cue.
From what I have been told, the "A" joint would be the connecting joint between the top of the wrap section and the bottom of the forearm. If they are a not a fullsplice cue there is always a wood to wood joint with a connecting pin or dowel at this section.
You can consider Richard Harris - Bluegrass cue.
If im not wrong, Richard uses the parabolic taper that is similar to Southwest cue.
Both hits quite similar imo
Except I personally prefer the hit of a bluegrass over a southwest, as its not overly too stiff and has great feedback that i feel is similar to the Franklin-era southwests
But good luck getting on the list, you r probably better off finding one on the secondary market n prob at half the price of a southwest.
Just my 2 cents

yea, i saw that one. nice looking cue, but does the general pool fan have 30k?? i mean doesn't a production cue company make more sense?
Timex is a good watch. So are a lot of others. I'm a watch nerd. Have 17 at last count. My watches are the only accessory I wear. Not crazy about rings, ear rings, or necklaces. Which one I wear depends on my mood, where I'm going, and who I am going with or meeting. I still wear my 1975 Seiko on occasion. I wouldn't buy a Rolex but I have one that I love, a gift. I did reward myself with an Omega and a couple of Tags over the years and some other nice timepieces.
That being said, very few people ever notice what's on someone's wrist. Other watch nerds excepted.
I guess you’re confirmed my point, you're bragging about your Lucasi again.
No nerve, no Rolex, but I do have a South West satin! I also have Lucasi that used to belong to a friend, when he passed his wife gave it to me. Shoots fine as do most cues.

How so?
Every Sw I've seen wobbles. Not true for any other brand. Hell, the fifth cue I ever made doesn't wobble even after 27 years.
They are mass produced. They may not make a ton of them, but they are built on an assembly line.
'junk' is, admittedly, an opinion.
