If your into certain cues right you will NEVER lose on the deal my friend.LoGiC said:What is the point of owning a cue if you are never going to play with it?
As for investing in it, lets face it 95% of cues degrade in value, only the master makers' cues seem to appreciate.
You already paid for the damn thing, enjoy it!

FSutton,FSutton said:So I've been debating for a few days on if I want to just give up with the custom cues... My custom hits really good but the fact is it's worth way more on the secondary market that I paid for it all those years ago.. Sometimes I just feel it's a little excessive and silly to be shooting with e a $3500 cue... so I've got half a brain to just give up on them and go buy a MEZZ MPC2 M get used to it and just take it from there.. that or just go with a dufferin conversion from Corsair cues.. I just don't know.. like I said i'm debating.. thoughts on the same thing? etc are appreciated.

LOL, But that's what they were made for my friend!!!!! I get a bit nervous sometimes myself with the Tasc hoppe in some places.Big Perm said:My player cost me $350, and I love it.....anytime I think I may have bumped it or rubbed it or anything, I practically freak outI just love a clean looking cue.....
I could not imagine playing with a $3k cue....hell, John showed me his Jensen when he was in town, and I was afraid to even hold it....
I couldn't agree with this any more........ am I losing my mind??FAST_N_LOOSE said:I Use My Playing Cue No Matter Where I Am Playing...... My Poolroom, Other Tourneys, Even Bar And Apa Leagues.
It's The Cue That Feels Right To Me, So Why Shouldn't I Use It?
You Should Hear The Other People That Shoot With Me Yell, When It Accidently Gets Bounced Off A Rail, Or Dinged When I've Had A Few Too Many.
It's A Cue, It Was Built To Be Used. That's The Beauty Of A Refinish.

But if given the choice, i'll drive a benz instead of a kia anyday. A buddy of mine has 2 tads. One is a plain jane, the other a high end monster. He bought both of them in the 70's from tad brand new. He says they both play the same, but i hardly ever see the plain jane anymore. He says he just loves bringing out the big dog. Hope this helps...
