The thing about pool cues is everybody has an opinion about what & which design looks good,
or great, the price you paid, the specs or features you ordered, the cue-maker, the amount of the
down-payment, the method of shipping you chose, the cue-maker's waiting period, the design
was not original....the design was a clone, tribute, copy, replica....blah, blah, blah.....and heaven
help us all if the cue contained any ivory.....another pachyderm was needlessly slaughtered so
a pool cue could have ivory ferrules, etc.......the end game is that people will think what they will
and unfortunately, often times not only express their opinions on the Forum but try imposing them.
You pay for a cue what "you" think a cue is worth, not what the seller tells you it is worth. So when
you disagree with a seller's asking price, you do the research. Therein lies the problem because
a lot of opinions about pool cues are tossed around without possessing any truly reliable knowledge.
