They look very nice,where can I get one?

No, they did not copy the joint. Both using radial pin flat face. No pilot joint for the Lambros. It would be even better if Dufferin did that too.
Each of them fetching close to $300.00 in Japan. I assume it must be cheaper in the States.

Sorry I do not there their is a CASE on the Design. Thre Lambros Ultra Joint is a Patented Idea.
I don't see how a joint can be better than the radial pin flat face design.icem3n said:No, they did not copy the joint. Both using radial pin flat face. No pilot joint for the Lambros. It would be even better if Dufferin did that too.

Have you ever played with a Lambros Ultra Joint Cue? Almost better than Cold Beer.

It's a clear copy right infringement to me. All that has to be proven is that they can be confused for the real thing, and several posters have already stated that. How'd you like to own one of the originals and have your buddy at the pool hall pull out his knock off, and tell everyone he stole it on ebay for 200.00. Why can't the Chinese come up with there own designs.
I don't mind them making cues, but using some one's designs to make their cues more marketable sucks. Not only did they copy Richards one sided veneers, but the even tried to copy the ring pattern.

Well I believe Bert Schreger made the first Six Pointer, and now a lot of cue builder are doing Six Pointer, have they ripped off Bert? Also you point about why the Chinese can not come up with a good design is a good one.
Was it not J&J who copied one of Ernie Guiteriez, GINA DESIGN with Decals, and sold them on e-bay for a hundred bucks.
The CHINESE, and others from Off Shore, Mexico ETC. Will continue to rip of, and counterfeit products until the U.S. Customs Service has the MAN POWER to stop the counterfeit from coming in the USA. Right now Terrorist, and Bombs are more important than stopping the flow of fake Gucci Purses.
BTW many Counterfeit NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. product are being produced in our own country.
It is all about money, and our own forum Member Jack Justis recently licensed a Chinese company to build the Justis West Cases. A less expensive of the Cases Jack builds in Florida. Guess that is how Jack decided to find the knock off guys.
Visit any Mexican border Town with lots of Tourist traffic, and you will find Counterfeit NFL, MLB, NBA, Rolex Watches, Oakley Glasses, Gucci Purses, etc. etc. etc. For Sale, and for the most part the Customs Agents let the Tourists being back the knock offs with no hassle.
BTW has any one advised Mr. Chudy of the knocks offs labeled Dufferin of China?
The problem with these knock-offs is that it would take very little for someone to remove the Dufferin logo and then misrepresent these as something they are not. Only those buyers educated enough to know the specific pin/joint types used by these respective makers would be able to tell the difference in an online sales ad/eBay.

In a Perfect World the U.S. Customs Agents/Service would stop the flow of COUNTERFITS in to the USA!
Time to call the cue design theft crusader....
