Hey Guys,

This doesnt happen very often but, i have an opportunity to get my old cue back. I Sold the cue 7 years ago, which i had one from someone that threw up a Air Bomb and lost so i got his cue.

The Cue is a Mike Morgan (Miller) built in '99, the cue is nothing fancy, has a real old school look.

At the time i sold it i was shooting lights out, and always regretted selling it. but at the time i needed the cash.

the guy that bought the cue still has the cue, and now he needs the money. So the shoe is on the other foot, and i would basically break out even in the deal.

i picked up the cue today and hit a few balls with it, and it felt exactly how i remembered.

So my ponderance is should i buy it back, in hopes that it will bring my game back to where i was feelin good, or just as much a keepsake to a time when i was......

Thanks
Steve
 
If you have the cash to spare then buy it, if your posting this thread it sounds like you have to have it. :smile:
Oh and pics please. :wink:
 
Get it before it's too late. You can always sell it again if you need the biscuits.

And, as Lenny said, we need pics. :smile:
 
I think you had already made up your mind to buy it before you posted your question. So go ahead and buy it if you liked it. But don't buy it in hopes of bringing your game up to past levels. That part is up to you, no the cue. Buy it because you want to.

buy it back!

it is not often you get the chance to get cues back, espec. at little or no inflation. you can sell it later if you wish, as someone pointed out.
 
Your a luck guy !!!

Steve,

Yes, yes, yes - Buy your old cue back !!!!

I had a Titlist that Craig Peterson made me back in 1964.

That cue was magic.

I used to go to pool rooms at night and do a quick walk through looking for guys with a good stroke.

I'd ask em if they'd like to play a game of straight pool, I'll give you a 25 ball spot to 50 points, you break.

After they broke I'd say, " Sit down", and proceed to run a big number, then lock em up and finish up the game quickly.

That cue was fantastic. I play now days at about 25-35 % of what I used to shoot.

Today, I think to much, in the past, I just sank the balls.

I think pool is partially a mental game, when you feel good you shoot better, a good cue gives you that confidence.

If you had a cue that you played great with, I don't think it can do anything but improve your game, maybe not what you once shot at, but I'm sure it will definitely help.

I would give anything to have my old Titlist back, I paid
$ 60.00 for that cue and I'd gladly pay $ 2000.00 for it now, without a blink.

So in my humble opinion, go for it, get that cue back, at worst, I'm sure it will bring back some great memories.

Perhaps buy it as a keepsake but who knows if you put in the hours you might restore some of the magic. But then again you could do that with any cue. Its not the cue -- I still have two of my old cues and one has run hundreds. I don't play with either anymore but I ain't gonna run hundreds anymore either. Buy it because you like it but realize playing good takes time & practice.

I agree with both Poolnut and Lenny. You can always give him first right of refusal!
 
I've heard too many stories of regret toward selling your first cue or selling a cue that you absolutely loved. As a result, there are some cues in my collection that I will practically take to the grave with me!
 
if you get it back and you shoot a little better with it for awhile you will think its the cue that makes you play well. it isnt. so let it go, keep a fond memory and move on.
 
Get it back first, if you have the cash.

I once had a Zylr sneaky i regretted letting go. A few months down the road, the buyer still could not get used to it, and i instantly bought it back. Sold it again when i needed some spare cash, even though it was my playing cue (couldnt bear to let my other bigger cues go). Instantly regretted it again as i took half a year to settle on another cue.

Similar story on my Barry Szam. But at least im glad it went to a good home, where it will be well taken care of :)
 
I say buy it. If you've even pondered for a moment, and regretted selling it, then by all means get it back. Yes we all know the tired cliche's about indians,arrows, bullet's and rifles but who cares. If you like the way it plays and it gives you confidence when using it. then it IS THE CUE (for all practical reasons) and you should buy it back. It's not like you're buying back a valley sneaky. Morgan's stuff is NICE!!!! and is holding value pretty well.

By the way I feel that people who say things like "it's never the cue and always the player" (mental or not) have either never found a cue that suited or complimented them, or they just don't have a clue about how much confidence a cue can give you, for whatever the reason. As an example, I know of more than one TOP SHELF player that will NOT enter a tournament or match up if they don't have "THEIR" cue. doesn't matter if the one available to use cost 3k, they want no part of it.
