Update!!!!!
AZBilliards,
After some cue builders have backed out at the last minute, family issues with cue builders, me calling some respectable cue builders and them not returning my call. We are moving forward.
I for one, want to apologize to the cue builders that did finish their cue on time and when they said they would. You guys will be known at the end of the build off so everyone will know that you will do exactly what you say! That, at least to me, means a whole lot. I know that it is your cues, but if you guys don’t have people to buy your cues, then you guys just have a bunch of cues that nobody wants. You guys that got your cues on time, THANKS!
There is 1 straggler (you know who I am talking about) That got his cue lost in shipment to Eric Crisp. That was absolutely not your fault, the only fault of yours is, NOT INSURING YOUR CUE! I know that was a hard lesson to learn…But I want to publicly thank you also for getting a 2nd cue together in such short time. You will be known at the end of the build off also! And I said straggler, and I was not being serious….This guy has went above and beyond what was asked of him and he should be commended for doing that!
JB Cases is donating something for us to protect the cues while in shipment…Thanks JB Cases!
I know Eric Crisp doesn’t log into this forum anymore because his wife is back now and they are spending some time together, which I would do the same if I was him…Eric, brother…Thanks for all your doing for this, and for me personally! You are TOP NOTCH in my book! Eric does so much for the pool community its crazy. He donates his time, and donates cues to make us enjoy pool a lot more. For instance, he has donated 2 cues to
www.theactionreport.com I know them guys have nothing but good things to say about Eric and his generosity. And thanks to
www.theactionreport.com for you guys supporting pool like you do by allowing us to view matches that we would normally never be able to see…THANKS TAR
This will kick off in the next 2 weeks. The cues will be shipped to me. I will video the cues, me testing the cues, and my review of each cue. I will post the video on YOUTUBE, and post the link in the thread. I will also make a new thread so people don’t have to wade through this huge thread. Remember, my views may not be your views, everyone has a different cue that they like. Everyone just be honest and be fair, we owe that to the cuemakers. Who knows, this may help them improve their cue (if it needs any improvement). But I do ask, guys just give us the facts, don’t bash a cue. That’s not what this is about.
Have fun, and everyone enjoy this!
Shawn
