CueTec or House Cue?

I'm not sure if it would void the warranty or not, but to be honest you have to do it to play with them. but once you've done that, they play quite nice.
and in any case, my point was here directed to the bashers - if it really is that much of a piece of junk they should have no qualms about going at it with a sheet of sandpaper.

I think soe of you hve a different idea of what the fiberglass shell on the Cuetec is than what it relly is. It is NOT the fiberglass you see in insulation. It is tightly bonded and can be be sanded just like any wood shaft.
I have put mine on the lathe and condititioned it as I would any normal shaft and it comes out perfectly smooth.
I specifically mentioned the Cuetec. I have not doen this with any other composite cue but I imagine that it would be similar.

Yeah, they spelled warranty wrong.
I relate my experience with them. If I buy a hundred dollar cue then I am not worried about the warranty.
I sanded mine, it plays great. REPEAT - I SANDED MINE - IT PLAYS GREAT.
If you are going to start quoting the manufacturer to me then I guess that means you also NOW believe that the hit is phenomenal and the cues aren't "trashy". Right?
Still waiting on that quality definition from you.................................
Why I Like Cuetecs!!
I travel out of town on business on a regular basis. I take my golf clubs with me in the warmer months and a pool cue with me at other times. When I took a pretty nice lookin cue into a pool room at night and got some balls and started hacking them around - rarely did someone come up and want to play.
For a couple of reasons (mainly taking a nice cue in my luggage on an airplane was starting to scare me), I bought a white w/silver decal Cuetec and started taking that with me. OH BABY - the locals wanted to play from the second I took that bad dude out of the case. (Maybe it was the shine on the lights glinting off those decals
.)
Not only did the Cuetec get me a little action, I actually like the way it plays and have no reason to think it won't perform as well as I can make it perform.
Will I give up my other cues - no way - but would I ever hesitate to play with a CueTec...................absolutely not!!
Call me the "Cuetec Kid"

Yes I must have missed it. However I didn't ask for Webster's definition, I asked for yours.
What degrees of excellence are there for cues?
Help us out here Greg. If you want to label a cue as trashy then tell us what good is? Tell us all how to recognize a good cue. Then we can take that definition and put all cues in their place from trashy to classy.
Surely you can do that can't you?
It almost sounds...looking at the above quote...that sirbanks might actually play well with a cuetec.Thats a nutty perspective huh??
Interesting.
Let's ask Earl what he prefers.....to break that is...

Heck, if I were a hustler, having a cue that was crooked would be the way I'd go... crooked and making a strange sound every time the tip hit the ball would be the way to do it... And with one of those slip on tips... That oughta get the locals salivating a bit...

I will probably write a book one day on this subject. Gus Szamboti, Jerry Franklin, and Burton Spain would not have wasted their time responding to your idiotic question.
The bottom line is that if you honestly feel in your heart that CueTec makes a "quality" cue, there is nothing I (or anyone else) can do to change you mind. However, should you ever decide to be honest with yourself and others, then you will have come a long way in this journey we call life.
Good luck on your journey.............
No Two Ways About It -
I play just as well with a CueTec as I do the high priced spread and of that there is no doubt. Does my ego have a problem playing day in and day in my hometown with a Cuetec - maybe. But, if I played with one and lost would I ,in all honesty be able to blame it on the cue...NO SIREE!!
I had a quality re-wrap done on the CueTec and had a Kamui tip put on it and have no problems forgetting what cue I'm playing with.
When I ask some of the out of town guys to explain just exactly how you play this game called "One Pocket" as I'm taking the white w/decal Cuetec out, I do get some interesting takes on how the game is played.
