Cuetec Fires Strickland

[M.G.]

Way to defrost a 10 year old thread
I will not say anything on Strickland other than: he really ruined his great reputation all by himself.
I found Cuetec's announcement to be very respectful, yet clear.
Strickland's answer to that burned him for any other sponsor, and shows that he's not even a man, but a whiney child.

Cuetec R360 play really excellent and are smililary constructed as the Mezz HP2 shafts. Their butts are slightly thinner than others, which can be great for finesse shots. They feel very very solid and transmit the vibrations in a rather nice way.
The only thing they should redesign is their butt-ugly huge ferrule and not use a Tiger Everest anymore.

Mike Gulyassy still sponsors The Pearl. His current cue has grown to 74" and weighs 29 ozs.

Didn't we have threads talking about Strickland's cue somewhere?
But that can't be right. 29 Oz is not an allowed weight for a queue in any (official) tournaments. On top of my head APA and BCA should have rules (specifying no more than 23, 24 or 25, can't remember exactly).

And 1,87 meters long, really? That must ranges in Snooker-extension territory.

Cheers,
M

I think Earl did make Cuetec.
I think Earl is awesome and should be allowed to shoot people in the liver.
I think Earl will land on his feet after the appropriate amount of time spent breaking things.
I think Earl should seek sponsorship from Mike Smith of Rack Runner Cues (Because Awesome)
I think Earl is Awesome.
Earl is awesome.
Earl.

Much love,

Lesh

Are you exaggerating? I knew that Earl has been playing with a longer cue for a while but that sounds absurd!

That is no exaggeration ... His cue has been growing consistently. I prefer to call it his Javelin...
