Thanks in advance, and have an awesome saturday!
It is made out of the lowest grade woods you can get in southeast asia, carved by some random 9-year-old, this q has a retail value today on eBay a $4.32What makes it junk? lol
There is a cue for every occasion.hustling in bars i had a cheap cue i could leave on the table and split if needed.
in pool rooms i brought an expensive looking cue. would talk about it and then stall so it served two purposes no one thought you were a hustler and it showed you had money.
i did the same thing with golf i had the newest best clubs. this way they knew you werent good as good players or hustlers keep the same clubs for years.
show me this cue on ebay for $4.32 lolIt is made out of the lowest grade woods you can get in southeast asia, carved by some random 9-year-old, this q has a retail value today on eBay a $4.32
That's what makes it junk, plus the way it is constructed means it probably plays like garbage. If you enjoy it, then it is worth whatever you think it is. It may not sell for what you feel it is worth, but it has value to you and that's all that matters. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Just saw it, it's going for 40-50 bucksIt is made out of the lowest grade woods you can get in southeast asia, carved by some random 9-year-old, this q has a retail value today on eBay a $4.32

"Listed for" and "sold for" are very different, but good luck with your saleJust saw it, it's going for 40-50 bucks
Love it. They indeed do look fancy. Now-a-days if someone did that with some maple It would probably look good.Yep, yep, yep, In '74 when Dad bought our table from friends who were moving to another state, it came with 2 of these funky carved cues.
IIRC, they were made in Japan.
They were super-light and made of some type of low-density wood. This is when I first stated playing, and unlike the brand-new good quality maple house cues Dad had bought for us kids to use, since I didn't know 'Sheeeet from Shinola' - and, very little has improved with me since, as Wifey is keen to frequently inform me - and, being a kid at the time, I thought these were 'very fancy, very special cues'.
Whenever I see one of those cues on eBay, I have to laugh at the memory it triggers:
Every time Dad would come downstairs to work with us, my sister and I would be standing there, smiling proudly with one of the these "beauties" in our hands; and, Dad would say, "Hey, Don't use those; I spent good money getting you kids decent cues and you two kept playing with those! Why do you keep playing with them?!?"
And every time, I'd loudly protest and say: "But Daaaaad, these are faaaaaancy!!"; and, my sister would just smile, nodding in justified agreement.
Dad would just look at us in a looong frozen pause, then, do his classic "mystified and disapproving Dad head-shake", exhale audibly, and silently pick up decent cue for himself and start the lesson.
You know, today, if I could read a hard-copy print-out what Dad's unspoken inner-dialog was during those all the 100s of "looks" he would give us kids over the years, I'd pay good money to get to read that!
I'm sure it would be pure comedy gold. LOL! - GJ
What makes it junk? lol
Play with it.What makes it junk? lol
Could be good for some laughs whenever you pull it out.
A long time ago I did exactly what you are suggesting and tried one out of curiosity to see how well it could jump since it could be configured into different lengths. It was horrible at jumping no matter what configuration you put it in. Hit a few balls with it out of curiosity as well and it played as bad as it jumped, just horrible.It might be kind of fun to find one of these, have a phenolic tip installed and use it as a customizable jump cue. Could be good for some laughs whenever you pull it out.
