Recently I bought through the Internet a Predator Willie Hoppe cue with a leather wrap and a Uni-lock joint. The cue was advertised as a limited edition with only 500 made.
I fell for this offer, but I've come to dislike the cue because of the Uni-lock joint. I don't trust it to stay secure and find myself constantly twisting the cue to tighten the joint (which obviously doesn't replicate the original cue). The uncertainty of the connection distracts me from my game. (The tip, in case that matters, is a Moori medium.
Despite always checking the joint, sometimes I get a hit that clangs, and it vibrates right to my elbow. Disgusting feeling, by the way.
I bought the cue for sentimental reasons, but it was embossed with my name on its butt and is probably is worth less money because of it. Or maybe it's worth squat, because I don't know beans about cues.
Now I never play with it, preferring my Cue-tech R-360 (which is apparently good enough for Shane and Allison).
Anyway, I'm sitting on a $600 cue and case that I never use.
Suggestions?
