Black Boar Shafts selling for...

I hit with a friend's 8k Black Boar once for 20 minutes. It had the ferruless shafts. I can honestly say I've never hit with any cue v that hit as nice. Felt like a major wand. So yes if you can afford the best, he's one of them.
 
I remember a very renown maker telling a guy, when asked, that he would make him a new shaft for $800. This was at the Derby some years back. The guy balked at the price, asking why so much. The maker tells him...."Well, I'm old and I really don't like making shafts."

your 100% correct wish got 1 years ago. Especially after owing about every cue on the planet these are the best. Incredible players! Everybody should own a boar! Lol yes it will be best ever played!
 
Curious how similar a Black Boar shaft will play on another respected cue makers butt compared to a actual Black Boar? Also what is the balance point on a Black Boar cue? I don't see any issue with the asking price personally.

All wood is different , Tony has a way of testing his shaft wood. He is extremely picky and discards something like 90% of it. Since he is using the top 10% or so he factors that into the price. I have owned all the top tier cues and never have I seen a Boar shaft that was not perfect in every way. Tony is a perfectionist , people who like the best and can afford it have no qualms paying for it.

Well let's not get to carried away , Toney is by no way the only cue maker who makes a great shaft and to think the price does not include his name as value added would be rediculas ,
There are plenty of shafts same caliber for less .

Jokes all jokes

I dare you to close your eyes and compare a Searing and a Boar to LucasI you will never ever be able to tell a difference . The guys that promote this crap should be used car salesmen. I'm going to take alot of crap over this but, it's getting ridiculous. I am in no way bashing the cue artists that create these beautiful cues but, the 2nd hand Jerks that inflate the prices for there personal profit....

I appriciate that, Yes he is BUT that doesn't diminish the price nor quality of higher priced shafts...

How many newer Boar or Searing shafts have you played with? Instead, how many Boars or Searing cues have you played with using a Lucasi shaft? Id bet you could tell the difference..
 
Correct

Correct you can tell a huge difference ,"Pro" players have been to the shop and have stated so, but some not all are too cheap to want to pay the price and want stuff for free or next to nothing. Tony doesn't give in as you must pay to play. It would also be wrong to any other customer who is not a pro to pay more than someone else.

In the end you can tell that's why many pay the price and get a ferrule less shaft for their 5/16x14 pin cue because they can tell the difference.

Your always gonna have a few groups of people on this subject :

Those who say that cost too much
Those who can't afford it
Those who say ehhh I like what I have I play well it's not needed
Those who say let's try it and fall in love and believe in the engineering and become a loyal customer

I certainly have not hit every shaft but a few more I like ,, Mobley, Southwest , Blue Grass , Suger tree , TW , ,,

if your adding Tony's LD shaft , that the list becomes much longer
