    Do you buy a warped Southwest?

    Duc, You just pointed out an important observation: according to your experience, 8 of 10 SW cues has a roll in them. But our poll shows that the majority buyers wouldn't purchase a warped SW cue. Meanwhile I believe SW cues sells very quickly in states as well, and I didn't see any SW cues in...

    Do you buy a warped Southwest?

    I'm curious how bad the warpage can affect the resell value of a SW cue. I live in Taiwan, and it's hot and humid here. Today (Aug 28th) we got nearly 80"F and over 70% humidity. The climate (in humidity) is way too much different from Las Vegas, and maybe that's the reason given most of...

    A beautiful Bender I cannot have

    Hello John, You're right. It took Paul a lot of time to do the tiny diamonds, and the results is very very good. Like the following picture: I also enjoy the talk with Paul every time I have some questions regarding cues. He is a really well-knowledged cuemaker. Ciao, Terence.

    Camera for cue photos?

    Several months ago I bought a camera and I think it's quite suitable for taking cue pictures. This camera is Panasonic DMC-LX2. You can read more information about this camera in http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasoniclx2/ I recommend this camera for several reasons: 1) It is with Leica DC...

    Does high temperature warp the cue? or just humidity?

    Thanks for all the reply. Here are some conclusions from the discussion: 1. humidity or temperature themself don't warp the cue. If a cue is built (the woods are aged) in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, then the cue can be used to the condition without warping. 2. Extreamly...

    Does high temperature warp the cue? or just humidity?

    Good question. And what is the ideal temperature for cue storage? Until what degree it's not recommended to put a cue in?

    Does high temperature warp the cue? or just humidity?

    Thanks for your reply. Now I know the variation of humidity contributes to warping. How about temperature? Does high temperature also make a cue warp? How?

    I live in Taiwan. Several months ago I vistied a local cue-repair shop, and the repair guy show me the room they store the cues. There is no air conditioning in the room, and no window either. I think the temperature of the room is around 95"F degree. I asked the repair guy whether the high...

    My new cue made by Paul Dayton

    Thanks for the nice words, gentlemen. Paul is a very nice guy, and I have to say it's a very pleasant journey to have my cue made by him. The cue is mainly designed by myself, and Paul also contributed. Paul is really a custom maker and he hates to make the same cue twice. It takes 5-6 month...
