$300-$500 is the down payment on custom cues.......and what qualifications do you possess that enables you to proclaim that's the most
a cue is worth........never tell another man what the worth of his labor is and if it's too much, then find someone else who will do it for that
price......or learn more about the craft of pool cues before you speak of that which you know very little about.
Ignorance is bliss but so is everyone's right to their opinion, even as stupid as it sounds to those that have been enlightened about cue-making.
The next thing I expect to read is cue weight is over-rated & weight doesn't matter or the weight of a shaft doesn't matter or all cue joints are the same.
People are compensated for their labor and their final wares.........I don't think I should ever pay more than $400 for a pistol.........Now go try and buy
a Les Kimber .45 auto for that price. But aren't all guns alike and basically do the same thing? Aren't all pool cues all alike and basically do the same thing?
The answer is NO and yes. No, all pool cues are not the same and yes, they function the same way, i.e., move the cue ball. But golly gee, show me any
$500 cue made that plays like a Szam..Manzino, Searing, Hercek, etc. Here's the essential point.......a cue does not make you into a better player, however,
a better player usually knows what they want in a cue. If you want a cue made the way you prefer it to be, even a Merry Widow, it can and usually does
cost more than $300-$500. Spend whatever you can afford on a cue and get it made the way you like.......It's a surefire recipe for cue happiness & better play.
