We used to see pretty often someone selling a cue and it "hits a ton". While I havent seen that phrase lately it does always make me smile.
My question is have you ever bought a cue that played great, and then got another one from the same maker and it played......well....not so great?
I will share this experience. I bought a plain jane Tad years and years ago and it was a playing son of a gun. In fact, it was my playing cue for a couple years (and for cue flipper like me that is a LONG time). I liked it so much I bought another one, and it played like a log. While it was fancier, and was great to look at, it played terrible.
I am not a cuemaker, but I would expect that this would be the exception, but I have seen it with some other cuemakers.
Anyone else have this experience?
