    When to draw the line with cue maker?

    Name the cue maker! There is no excuse. If he promised 16 months he's either a fraud or incompetent. Just because a guy can make a great cue doesn't mean he's any good at handling a business. I can't believe you've waited this long. He should offer a refund no questions asked along with an apology.

    When to draw the line with cue maker?

    You are correct. They bought forest acreage and pick, harvest, and process their own trees.

    Cue Order

    I'm surprised some people think his questions are reasonable. Recommendations are fine, but this guy refuses to make the cue you want. I would have hung up the phone half way through that conversation.

    Mezz cue advice?

    I just responded to your other post. According to Mezz USA "the butt sleeve diameter of MSP2 is 31.2mm. The current Mezz cues have the same diameter." That's definitely smaller than the average cue on the market.

    Thanks for the feedback. I bought one as I noted above and couldn't be happier or more impressed.

    your paying too much for cues

    You're correct to a certain extent. One of the best players at my local pool hall will beat you all day long and plays with an old Players cue that might cost $125. On the other hand, anyone is perfectly OK to spend whatever they want, and that is what the cue is worth to them. I would never pay...

    Best Playing Cue Builder

    I wouldn't say substandard, but definitely over-priced due to incredible marketing and paying pros to use them.

    Best cue under $1000

    There was a survey here a couple years ago asking what members thought are the best production cues. Schon came in first, followed by Mezz, with Predator a distant 3rd. Just people's opinions, but Mezz are more reasonably priced then either of the other two.

    Best cue under $1000

    I've only had my MSP2-P a couple weeks and am perfectly happy with their WX-Sigma (12.5 mm) shaft. Looking to the future, I did some research and have read that some 5/16x14 joints will fit, others may not. Time will tell if I decide to try one.

    Rasson table for World Championships........................

    I'm not comfortable with any table that uses nuts and bolts to assemble the frame. I understand some manufacturers may use extremely heavy duty hardware but I prefer made-to-order uni-body frames that are made in the USA to high end furniture standards. They'll last a lifetime. Just my opinion.

    Best cue under $1000

    I like wrapless cues so the selection from Mezz is limited, but I just got one of their Sneaky Pete's and I am impressed. Excellent quality. United joint fits very snug and is machined perfectly.

    Best cue under $1000

    If you like Joss that's fine, but you cannot say it's a better cue since that's completely subjective. I tried Joss and much prefer Pechauer, which also offers more attractive cues at better prices, and with far superior customer service. Different strokes.

    Best cue under $1000

    Pechauer uses their own proprietary speed joint, but they will build you a cue with pretty much any joint for about a $50 upgrade. I was going to have them build me one with a radial joint, but decided I'm perfectly happy with the two I already own.

    Best cue under $1000

    Agreed. Beautiful cues, very reasonably priced, lifetime warranty, made in USA, fantastic customer service. They bought their own timberland so they could harvest their own trees, process them in their own lumber mill, built a machine shop so they can build all their own screws and joints. Who...

    Mezz vs lower end customs

    I just got a Mezz Sneaky Pete MSP2-P and I am really impressed. I'd said above that I had reservations about Mezz because I'd heard they have a thick butt, but I called Mezz USA and found out the opposite is true, so I ordered one. The quality of the finish is top tier. The United joint is a...

    Keith Josey in Savannah. Great customer service, and I've never heard a negative word about him.

    Welcome to Gestapo Billiards. Have a good time.

    While it certainly isn't friendly or welcoming, I wouldn't go so far as to call this hostile. There's nothing on the list that's all that unreasonable and it describes my behavior when I play. It's a shame that the owner feels it necessary to post a sign like this, but let's face it, some people...

    Meucci Cues

    I included a quote from you. Perhaps you should re-read it yourself. "I think it is just the popular and safe thing to bash them and it is unjustified in my experience. Some people just hate someone who is so successful. Just a guess." So, once again, if someone disagrees with you about Meucci...
