I saw a cue being smashed against the table , after the player missed the shot. The result is the handle split open at the joint. So the shaft has got the pin half still attached as it was ripped out of the handle.
My real question is , should this kind of abuse be covered by the cuemaker/cuebuilder or should it be covered by the abuser.The cue is only 7 months old.

I am pretty sure that NO cue builder will cover this! I know that there is no way that I would!

Seems like common sense to me that the abuser would foot the bill on this one. I cant imagine a cue builder warrantying (Sp) something like this!
 
Hands down covered by the abuser. A cue is not designed to take impacts like that, I don't know one cue maker or manufacturer that would replace a cue that was damaged deliberately by the owner.
 
I had to check the date that this was posted. It wasn't on April 1.

Don't know of any product that would be covered for abuse.

Oh I get it Neil, you made Joke didn't you!!!!!!!!!:speechless::outtahere:
 
All warrenty terms and conditions always includes "Does not cover damage by abuse" or something along those lines. Unless the item was made to be abused, and withstand the abuse.

The question was asinine. The real reason for the post was to display your screw-on tip.

Not so Arnot.
I was at a bar last night, saw a customer have a hissy fit and smashed the cue into the side of the table.
Anyway, he finally saw me in the corner. Brings the cue over and tells me it is broken and ask's if I can fix it. He said it just broke after the last shot.
That part is kind of true as it did not fall apart when I saw him smash it.He turned red face when I said I saw you smash it.
I don't feel that I should have to wear the cost of repair, as This is abuse.
I wanted others opinions on the subject.
So I will repair it, but will wait for payment before delivery.
I would like to thank those that have replied.
How often does this kind of damage come back for repair?

Only a blitherin' idiot couldn't figure this one out on his own.
 
Neil,
If this was one of your cues, tell the abuser that you'll give him $50 for what's left. If he balks, tell him "the repair will be $400 with no guarantee." "So how's that $50 sound now?"

Once you've got the cue back, never sell him another.
What have you lost except an idiot from your life?
 
I first set foot in a pool hall about 53 years ago, and I don't believe I've ever seen a player break his cue on the table. Now, I have seen players' heads smashed against the table, but repair under warranty was never mentioned.
