I think brass ferrules on snooker cues and ivory ferrules on pool cues are horrible.

OK. But the reverse would be more horrible. LOL!

I appreciate tradition and "old school".

What ferrules are on your snooker cues? I thought brass was pretty standard.

Linen fibre on all my cues….pool, snooker, and carom.

You must play with meucci

I've owned and played with a lot of cues including a Tad, GinaCue, Southwest, Joss West, Craig Peterson, Bill Schick, Robinson and a Schuler.

Iv'e never owned a Meucci but the times I hit balls with a Meucci and they were too wippie for me.

Whenever I have been asked about buying a cue I always say it's personal preference, buy the cue you like.

It has been another year. Any news on the high end cue market? Prices up? Down? Thanks

I’m not reading 28 pages. Can someone summarize for me.

During the mid 60's, 80's Craig Peterson was a 'Highly Underrated' cue builder outside of the Chicago area!

OP has an old Gus he thinks is worth twice what it is. He keeps butting up against those in the know, telling him his asking price / valuation is too high. He keeps insisting it’s not. 10 years later, he’s still got the cue, still insisting his valuation is solid. Still asking what the market looks like these days.

Check back next August for more of the same

You forgot that he's probably destroying the value of the cue with this thread.
