We'll we've seen the Greatest cuemaker's poll for cues nobody can afford to own. Now here's a poll for the rest of us. What are your three votes (or one or two or whatever) in each category:
1) Homely Wallflower Design: Who's cues are just butt ugly, sitting for years on some website until the website eventually folds? Which is a cue that only a mother could love and can't get a date with a pool player?
2) Master CNC Jockey. We pretty much know who wins this category on volume just by searching "1 of 1" on ebay. But there are some pretty amazing CNC jockeys out there and the programmers who really deserve the credit. Who wins for Master CNC Cue Jockey?.
3) Design of the week club. Who creates designs like pancakes, good bad or ugly, with the idea that sooner or later they'll get a winner or get quickly discontinued?
4) Deadbeat Cuemaker. Who has stiffed more people out of deposits, not delivered on cues or repairs, lied about delivery times or worse yet, absconded with your cue?
5) Worst Idea Club. No doubt, there have been some really crappy ideas when it came to cues. What's got the worst?
6) Toot Your Own Horn Club Reminder this is for cuemaker's, not table mechanics. Who brags on themselves the most?
7) Worst Execution. This is for cues that the owner usually throws out in the trash or just sells on ebay as an "unknown" cue maker. Maybe the inlays look like they were covered in superglue and tossed in the air to randomly land on the cue. The wrap might be "ringtail" lizard (whatever the hell that is!) , with ample contact cement squeeze-out that was never removed. Maybe the cue smells of some unidentified fish. Tell us about it.
8) Value Stinker - we've all seen cues that leave the shop at $3500 and can't break $1000 on ebay. Which cuemaker's values tank the most when they leave the shop?
9) Most Prolific Design Ripoff - The Big One, who guiltlessly mimics oher cuemaker's unique ideas and style trademarks? Who is the karoke cuemaker? Go ahead and take a bite of the Big One.
