Cuelees cues, anyone tried them?

I got Cuelees in stock and played a lot with the cues.
Quality is very good, solid feeling, pretty stiff cues that goes very straight.
So far, I and the players who have bought or play with a Cuelees cue feel that they really play much better after they made the change to Cuelees.
And yes, real cues, not 100 USD sticker cues.

I've heard that storing cues like that could cause them to warp slightly. I was told to always stand them up straight. I don't know if it matters but I would believe it does.
i hope you move them often lol

I seriously wonder how some of these overseas makers can sell their cues so cheap with sooo much inlay work?
Friend just bought a Jflowers cue that has "inlays" that should make it a 5-8k cue. $1100.

Cuelees cues are made in China that's how.
There’s a really nice one from them that has some spiral inlay design
Serious craftsmanship at peanuts compared to what Americans charge
I've always thought that storing cues vertically or at a slant could cause warping. I store all my cues in tube cases on their sides to minimize any stress caused by gravity.
EDIT: Two of my cues are 19+ years old, they're still straight and true. I also have a mid-1980's Meucci that did warp because I bent the tar out of it while breaking. Oddly enough, it returned to its non-warped state after a few years of sitting unused on its side in the closet.

I want to try one but it'd have to wait a year. That curly Phantom maple six points Sword. 
The Dragon Teeth I like as well because ebony. Unfortunately, I'd have to get rid of something to justify buying it now.
Edit: my 1st reaction looking at their curly

CueLee's (LiSi 李斯) is one of many great Chinese made cues (such as 福杆 Lucky Cues, 翼杆, Zen, O'min China (not to be confused with the Thai snooker cue maker whose name they profit from) and many more)
CueLee's are well made, I am not sure if there is a difference in domestic China product and their exported cues. My first break cue was LiSi and it hit very nicely, swapped it out due to phenolic tip and opportunity to get something more expensive at a good deal where I could sell on easily if I didn't like... (I liked).
Have used a couple of their cues. One friend plays with one of their higher end cues (around 12k RMB) and have used both their solid wood and CF shafts on this. Both shaft hit just as well as anything else I tried. Another friend uses a mid-range cue (around 6k RMB), not much difference in quality to me besides the fancy stuff.
I find some of the crazier inlays and nonsense going on at the bottom end a little pointless, but some people go nuts for it. Not exactly collector cues, and from the production line, so I don't get the need for the flash.
But yeah, solid hitting cues at a great price point.

One friend is using the 7th cue from the bottom. The mid-range friend I described. I had the break cue second from bottom.
I wouldn't store them like that

Don't overlook the possibility of today's production cue becoming a collectible at some point in the future. It has happened more than once. If we only had a crystal ball. Palmers, Brunswicks, etc. I would venture to guess that the only reason my Willie Hoppe Professional is not worth a ton is that Brunswick made so damn many of them. But still we are talking about a $9.85 cue that today might bring $500.00. Or, if ebony, $2,000 +. (I would love to know how WHP's were actually sold.) Then again, it may be their popularity back then which drives their desirability today.
Yeah, that's a lotta work there.
Not my cuppa tea but I'd be proud if I made them!
Love way there joint configuration is i can see these cues hit and play very well. They have 4 shafts look like copy of mezz cues ideas with interior carbon inside wood or a solid maple shaft choice at 12.75mm which in my opinion is a great all around horse for pocket billiards the best for both worlds in terms of ball pocketing & position play.
