Cocobolo Cowboy is absolutely spot on with his observation and approach.
I drive a 2015 Honda Accord, 4 cylinder, and get 39-40 mpg on the highway
set on cruise control. In town, 28-30 mpg. and it is reliable, comfortable,
68k miles and I listen to XM Radio Channel 31…..Tom Petty Radio.
Now most of my friends drive newer cars, have payments, higher insurance
premiums, get less mileage and we both get back and forth to where we either
wanted or needed to go using our cars. My approach is also more economical.
A cue is just a tool. It does not need to have sparkle and luster or colors. It’s why
I’ve always been a fan of Sneaky Pete Cues. Simple as can be but it performs
every bit as good as a cue costing thousands more. I went fancy because I want
my kids and grandkids to have something special, unique, one of a kind pool cue.
Passing along a collection of Sneaky Pete cues just didn’t have sizzle, cosmetic
desirability in contrast with a Sneaky Pete design. If they are going to inherit one of
their dad’s or grandpa’s cues, it had to be a pool cue that had high curbside appeal.
Getting back to Covobolo’s post, he is absolutely right but don’t discuss this with
too many others, whatever that might be. Remembers there are cue makers that
build cues as a livelihood and I’d like to see these people remain in business for
selfish reasons. I like see what they are currently making or cues recently made.
Despite having a soft spot for Sneaky Pete cues, I’d rather view pics of custom cues.
