I agree with you on lots of these points and personally I don't care much for Cuetec cues as they are frequent visitors in my workshop... but some people love their Cuetec cue and they may have invested in a proper wrap, extensions etc, so it makes it hard to switch.

Players mix and match all the time, I don't see why that should be a problem. The reason I mentioned Triple 60 is that they have both the sizes and the right adapter.

You'll find that a lot of cue makers are on social medial like Facebook and Instagram. Quite a few have their own website as well. Like Ryan said, I hate being called up all the time, it's often a waste of time and it's often things that could be better presented in an email. People love using...

Standard Uni-Loc inserts are 7/16-20. Needing a .390" minor for the threads and .444" minor for the barrel part. I believe I have seen aftermarket Uni-loc inserts with a 7/16-14 thread. A picture always helps :)
