Broken cue stories

I was 17 and playing a local bookie a race to 9 for 100. was winning 8-0 when this large group of friends arrive with a bunch of girls. We are all suppose to go out that night. They camp out and wait. At 8-0 I run the 9 and get bad and have to bank it. Fire the bank and it hits both points and flies around the table to end up in front of a hole. All my friends go ohhhhhhhh. The bookie goes AWWWWW thats too bad! and then proceeds to beat me 8 more in a row and wins. I repeatedly dog all kinds of shots to win. First its because the hot girls they brought with them are sharking me, then its because the missing is now sharking me, then by the time its 6 or 7 in a row im just flat out on tilt.

I took my sneaky pete and smashed it against the wall as we were leaving. Thats the last cue I broke intentionally.

Later on about 10 years later im playing a guy at Harleys Rack and Cue in Jacksonville race to 7 for 200 and its double hill and i shoot the 7 9 combo and it hangs up. I went dammit and whack the butt cap of my Joss flew off in pieces. Thats the last time I ever broke a cue.

My friend in high school had a beautiful joss west he threw down on the ground in anger and it broke in half right in the butt.

I was in Searings shop nearly 15 years ago and he showed me balabushka that was broke in half in a bar fight. Said when it came to him it had blood all over it.
 
my best broken cue story

i am working at my buddy's pool hall, kids come in and play some 9 b, smart ass misses a shot, slams his cue on table, it snaps in half, he picks it up walks back tosses it in the trash can, pays up and walks out.

that night i am cleaning, i grab trash can to empty and see the butt, it is not damaged accept for a slightly bent pin.

i take it to our local repair man, he replaces the pin, builds me a new shaft, i got my first 2 piece cue.

this was a few years back, as my total cost for replacing the pin and the new shaft was a grand total of !!!!!!!!!

My story was similar to this. I was working at a pool hall in Sacramento. These guys were playing some three cushion for 100 I think. The loser take his cue and does and wood chopping samurai slash motion at the ground. The ground won, and his cue;s shaft shattered. I turned the first five inches of the shaft with the tip and ferrule into a key chain!

I've broken two cues, I'm shamed to admit. One I simply dropped at a bad angle, the other was due to bending the cue (rainbowing the cue against the table). These were both house cues, and I was thoroughly embarrassed.
