It is along the lines of the "kit cue" and the "one button cue machine".
Funny but just not true.
Just as in the car business they say there is "a butt for every seat" in the cue business there is a player for every cue.
I dont know any cue maker that produces perfect work (they all have some flaws hidden or not) so under a "perfect or nothing" rule there would be no cues out there. (J Pechauer cues excepted)
I make what I make, it is what it is, like it or not, I am not perfect and neither are my cues.
However, they seem to be good enough that others try them, like them, and buy them.
I would prefer that the guy with the money in his pocket judge me and my work to be worthy or not.
I think most other cue makers feel the same way ... or not :thumbup:
Willee, I think you just made Ratcues point. You build a solid cue, to your specs, and someone, somewhere, will try it and like it as opposed to building a cue to one persons expectations as far as hit, balance point, weight and so forth. After doing years of repair work you see what others have done and learn what combinations of materials and construction techniques create a particular hit, balance and feel.
By the way, I like the way Pechauers are very well built, and his complete control over materials, however, I've never really liked how they play.
