Was looking at a Cuemaker Website this PM, and say a Cue that I am lusting for. I have too many cues already, that all get played with. But want to Order Another One, is this Wrong.....
Am I wrong to lust for another Cue
- Thread starter PoolSleuth
- Start date
As long as the bills are paid...why not enjoy another cue? You can always move a less preferred cue on to another home if necessary.

If you see something that is a work of art (in your eyes) then by all means, get it. You'll probably take care of it better than anyone else you know. You're obviously seeing something that not many can.
But you can also go "buying blind". Spending more than you can afford. If you have money to burn, then it's no sweat.
Buying a cue for its artistic value is somewhat like getting tatooed. Once you get hooked it hard to stop.
Only thing wrong with purchasing the cue, would be if you're not taking the 30,000 foot (over head view) of your situation and could end up loosing everything.
Nothing wrong with staying within your means.

Yes it is sinful, and even if you only lust for it in your heart the damage is done.
Ah, but there is one thing you can do to atone for your wicked act.. buy and then send the cue to me. Follow that up with a half hour flogging session with a local dominatrix to rid you of any further impure desires.
No need to thank me, I'm just happy to look out for you!

I dont think theres anything wrong with it.
I think its only natural to lust after a nice cue.
I seen a guy who has a couple Gilbert cues, basically go ga-ga over a 12point Runde, and ended up using it for a weekend while at a big tournament.
Yet he still uses his Gilberts, but does buy n sell cues he lusts for all the time.
When i had my Schon LTD, i still lusted over new cues guys brought into the pool hall to show off.
When i get my new custom cue in a little bit, i am sure if i see a new cue someone has that is really nice, i probably will lust over it for a lil bit lol.

Sounds like you have not found a cue that hits so well, you can't play with anything else.
No choice, gotta find it.

There is no such thing as having too many cues. Ask any cuemaker.
If you can afford another one and you want another one, get it.
Cats.
I say get it.
Life is short, make yourself happy.

Yes you are. You should punish yourself by playing with a house cue next session and then playing with your Madden the following session.
Cues are like shoes- there is always going to be a pair that are more comfortable, newer, different.
Of course, I am kidding- if you want another cue and can afford it then buy it.
Right now, I am getting over the whole ownership thing.

Even before I was a cue maker, I always said , And still do, YOU CAN'T HAVE TO MANY!!!!!!!!!!

Why save your lust for women? After all: your cue won't tell you to take out the garbage
your cue won't get you a beer, but neither do women unless they comlpain about it
your cue won't steal the sheets
your cue won't invite it's mother to live with you
your cue won't insist you paint the living room a gahstly green color
your cue will gladly come out to play pool with you
your cue doesn't mind if you drink a few beers
your cue doesn't take an hour to get ready to go out
your cue is always ready
....
Cues ...
last longer than women nowdays.
You can make money with a cue that you actually get.
Cues aren't sarcastic when you want to play with it.
Cues give you back what you put into it.
Everybody is a 'junkie' about something, CUES aren't not a bad way to go!!!

Sorry to have to tell you that cue lust is, in fact, a disease that will eat away at your game. I’m not saying that there are no exceptions, but, I’d wager that 99% of the great players don’t suffer from it.

The secret is to change cues often, perhaps several times per match. Then progress to changing cues in the middle of your run. This will shark the single-cue-minded "great player" and cause him to miss the nine ball, leaving it jarred in the pocket for your easy victory.
Legend has it there was an old time great cue collector that could change cues in mid-stroke! He couldn't run three balls, but won many tournaments.
I heard most of his cue's were cuetecsshinobi said:
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house; neither shalt thou desire... his servant, nor his handmaiden, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is his.
Exodus 20:17
That's the tenth of the ten commnadments. Seems your cue lust is OK as long as it's not your neighbor's cue.
