After reading through the lifetime cue thread it got me thinking. Why would I get a new cue?
I have two production cues, retail on one was about $225, that's my player. The other I pulled out of hock at the second hand store for a friend, he never paid me for it so its now mine, for $110 I got it and a break and case. That cue alone retails today for around $450, it's like new but I don't play it. I don't need the couple hundred I could sell it for, so it sits in its case and once in a blue moon I pull it out and hit a few shots w it.
I have no plans to get something else.
What made you buy a new player cue? Not another to put in the collection but a new player? Did you lose confidence in your current player, thought a new cue would help your game, better feel, etc?
Maybe I posted a question like this before, idk, but it always staggers me how much $$$ people put into cues and equipment. I understand the collecting part but not frequently changing out the player cue.
