First i would like to say Tools dont make the mechanic.
2nd A good player can play with almost any cue if it has a good tip.
One of my first cues was a players cue. it was ok for a cue that retailed
for under 100.00 bucks, but the shaft warped.
my second cue was a older cuetec, there is enough fiber glass on the shaft that it would never warp, but the cue hit like a harpoon stiff as hell and with a stock lepro tip full of mis cues.
In my opinion it makes a hell of a break cue.
ps the stickers peeled off and the shaft was always sticky, had to glove up.
I bought a older meucci good cue wish i wouldnt sold it.
Then a new meucci with a black dot shaft. The shaft delaminated ...
with in 6 months of new total junk. Also the the finish crack a million cracks.
I always thought that wooden threads in the shaft was a weakness and the threads would pull. I was wrong one of the best hitting cues in the world are wood to wood joint and they will last a life time .
I have heard that some g10 pins are hard on wooded threads but I havent ever owned one
This is where every pool shooter has to make a choice on what style of joint.
i like wood to wood but each their own.
Then i bought my first custom.
There are tons of cues that I havent owned or ever played with so I havent tried every cue in the world.
In my opinion only, a off the wall bar cue is just as good if not better than most cheap production cues.
A good tip goes a long ways on any cue.
If you are one of the first time buyers dont buy a cue because it looks good or because the cue will never warp. For one shafts are easy to straighten.
buy a cue that hits good , has good cue ball control. and that the cue maker
cures his wood over 10 or 15 years so the cue will not pop or warp.
FYI if you buy a imported cue for 100.00 in the states what does that cue sell for in china.
Last If you are a american buy usa made we needs the jobs to stay in america.
I am sure everyone has there own story and opinions.if everyone vents enough might give future buyers the chance to not waist there money like we have.
