I came across a caroom table, I think that what there called. Had a checker board on one side. I wore that thing out in my driveway as a kid in Cali, a local park had tournaments, but I think I just watched, don’t recall playing competitively as a 7-8 year old. Was given a Viking butt when I was...

If you’d by a Predator mass produced cue, not one built by a custom shop w s Predator shaft over a Southwest or other respected builder, you lost me. I in addition could care less for SW, but a stock Predator butt is junk.

How where you introduced and what caught your interest.

If your playing with a pos house cue bent to shit, your at a disadvantage. You can learn how to make a POS work in your favor, but you need a legit tool to excel.

If your buying as an investment beware, unless it’s a ten year plan. Cue collectors and aficionados are leaving daily and not being replaced. Honestly I’d recommend anyone w a collection to sell now, if they didn’t have a passion for ownership.

If you can name the cat lover, Kokopelly loving cue builder, veteran. I’ll send you a gift, provide your address.

Lot of guys have been around. Apparently there was some guy that had an army years ago, honestly no clue wth he was but a lot of guys/gals here are cool as hell, Recognize them. I’ll nominate GreyGhost and Bava.

Again, agreed if leveling. But if I get a weightless Schon, Pechauer, Jacoby, Viking, which I was a previous dealer for. If a consumer wanted a 21oz cue naturally weighted as 18, that imho, screwed up the way the original cue played. I think you are arguing something we bith would agree on. I...

Skor, agreed. Leveling the weight is different than just making weight.

lol, I know Bob. Read the question.

How can you add balance by a weight bolt in the butt. Honestly, in theory those piece of shit Ramen cues five pieces w weights would allow for adjustment. Other theory I don’t get is the liquid weight inside a cue. It’s not the arrow it’s the Indian but if the bow is a pos shit an Indian ain’t...

I appreciate your response and it confirms my expectations. I revered Bob and really like Evan and John. I’m sad my dream cue is not what if was when I was 16.

Mine is a Maple into Maple w 2 shaft tapers. Plays great, NFS. Any haters ever tried one. The cue is not aesthetically pleasing but for the price it sure plays well. Jackpots are the must underrated cue I’ve come across. Schmelke won’t build one to spec. From what I’ve been told. Magic lost...

Shame? I knew John and Evan when I was a reseller. I have not tried a cue built on Terry Jr or his sisters watch but am curious. I had a great relationship w Evan and John, but have never heard a word from Terry Jr, never met Sr, wish I could have. The driving force and success of Schon was Bob...

I think a custom cues weight should be natural to the components. A lot of cues you just add a heavier weight in the butt. Does that really make any sense or just meet an end users belief in what they like. I’ve played w cues naturally weighted from 17-21oz and 18.5 + or minus .25 I’ve found...
