You leave home and forget your cue, can you play good with any cue? Some people claim they cannot shoot good without their personal cue! Thanks for your input.

Yes, it's not a problem, but I'll play still better with a cue I like and am familiar with. I simply enjoy myself more with the latter, concentrating more fully on the game itself, less guesswork.
Greetings from Switzerland, David.

American cue makers have produced most of the finest cues ever made.
A lot of passion, intelligence, and hard work was used to make these 'Strads'.
A great cue is a magic combination of tolerance and strength.
Anyone who thinks a player can play his game with a 'wallabuska'...IMO
a- doesn't play very good
b- thinks AJ Foyt could win the Indy with a Ford Focus
c- thinks Tiger (in his prime) could win a Major with a cleek, a mashie,
and a 'drug store' golf ball
..a cue doesn't have to be 'pimp' to be great..one of my best cues is
a 'tweaked' Joss sneaky pete...and a good tip is a must.
it is the arrow AND the Indian
..and road players who played off the wall, when they ran into a 'player',
found what it was like to be the toughest guy in the girl's school-yard
Yea go spread that bullshit on CornBread'. I'm sure everyone knew they had his ass when he played with a wall banger. :grin:

I play with them all the time. But, then I can't make a ball. My Sneaky Pete is designed to look just like a house cue, even down to the name and logo! He, he, he. Thanks for your input, PT109.

A bit contradictory there, Lock.....
...a sneaky-pete can look bad and play like a magic wand.
I'm saying a player needs a good cue to play his best game....
...it doesn't have to look good.
Had a $40 snooker cue in the late 70's...turned down $800 for it 'cause
it was a good cue.

pt..<..who hopes all his opponents play 'off the wall'....
...or I'll buy them a cue with a ramin wood shaft

Be nice if Jim Buss commented on this subject...
...I see he is in the house.
..a rocket scientist who makes cues may enlighten us
I play pretty close to my speed with any cue (within reason). But I am more comfortable playing with my own & seem to do a lil better overall due to consistency. It's built to my spec with everything I like so it feels right, fits well, and this means minimal distraction from it. Playing with cues with soft tips, whippy shafts, dead feel, too heavy or too light, improper balance for me, etc. all feel alien & uncomfortable to me. That knocks a few percentage points off my speed, but not enough to prevent me from running a rack when it's open. The most notable places it affects my game is speed control & spin control, so the finesse shots aren't as easy as they are with the cue I know & am comfortable with.
Try working a few games with a good house cue, tell yourself you can do this with no problem! At first just hit balls by yourself. Do this about an hour a day for a week and then tell me how you feel! Thanks for your input.

I try to be nice all the time, even when the Haters come out! People seem to hate for you to say something nice about a person!!!! Perhaps, you can tell me why? Thanks again for your input.

I think you might be the Will Rogers of AZ...(who, as you probably know,
never met a man he didn't like)
but AZ is where we can exchange ideas and concepts...doesn't have to
be personal...
I am passionate about fine cues....and anyone who says they can get out
with a 2x4 and a bottle cap for a tip..I'll call 'em on it....:angry:::angry:
ok, sometimes it's personal
so glad we could have this chat:smile:
