Ed Wheat...lets get it on...

"Wheat Cues", directed by Eddie Wheat, written by Eddie Wheat, starring Eddie Wheat

I'm not certain that sending an Eddie Wheat cue around to a bunch of different people would accomplish anything, let alone a consensus on the cue's playability.

Eddie Wheat's cues are designed for optimum performance for the original owner only. The buyer must supply his armspand (wingspan), height, weight, eye color, shoe size, hair color, bowel movements and marital status. The cue is out of warranty and may no longer pocket a ball the moment that any of those criteria change or if the owner moves to a different climate.

That's funny.

I don't sleep very well these days anyways but I am curious to see what the self-inflicted hype is all about. According to him his cues are exquisite or something to that effect so I would like to see just how nice they are. To say the least I am a cue whore and I love to see good work.

His lame "advertising" techniques have the exact opposite effect on me. The more he wrote, the less I wanted to look at his cues. He's just too Jerry Springer for me (entertaining in a way, but basically a waste of time)

We need a poll!!!
 
Geese, several of you guys continue to relentlessly attach Eddie Wheat, though I cannot discover what he has done wrong - except say it like it is, and be a new man on the block. Oh, I forgot, you're all trying to protect protect Ali or, perhaps, protect the rest of us from him. (Really??)

Actually, it seems to me you guys simply get off on attacking Eddie, and nuthugging each other! But, unfortunately, it appears to me that Eddie can outdo each of you in most everything relevant. He is physically fit and into martial arts (are you guys proud of the condition of your bodies? - ha!), he is a TOUGH pool player (I noticed that none of you "players?" responded when he challenged everyone - something wrong with your game? Perhaps you're shy?). And he's a cuemaker, and you all seem to love cues regardless of whether you can use one or not. (Be careful, or you'll not get one from him, I advise.) And it seems the likes of Strickland and BlackJack are associates of his who appear eager to support him. (Too bad your statures aren't comparable so your badmouthing might mean something.) And, Eddie seems to be a happy family man.

How do you compare, men? I believe we can all imagine why you cower, and jealousy utter insults from behind from your keyboards. But, though Eddie is one man against a group of you, last night for example, and responds rapid fire, on an impromptu basis, to each insult you hurl, I believe he's made a laughing stock out of the group of you.

Now, I've just stated my humble opinion, and I expect to get majorly flamed as a result. And if you wish to cancel out my few reps, have a ball. (I guess if they go to cancelling yours also, that's OK). But, I would advise that the next time you feel like jumping back on Ed Wheat, consider that the rest of the forum, like I, might see right through you. Again, JMHO
 
Cue

If Eddie sends a cue around, I would like to be considered to try it out.
I have played 46 years, I am very detailed oriented and also very picky.

In fact, I was thinking of getting Eddie to give me a price on a Bacote player.

And anybody in business for themselves has to promote their business.
Their work will speak for itself as far as quality.

Dude???Have you read this thread??

I said I wasn't going to reply to this thread unless Ed did....and I wasn't...last night it slipped to page two and off into nowhere.I was cool with that.

I started this thread for what should be obvious reasons.

There has been some very lite Ed bashing in this thread.There has been some Ed joking....AND most importantly,quite a few players who would try his work and ship it on....myself included.

Nothing but upside imo.I'm actually surprised he passed on the offer for some free press and reviews from his AZB peers.
 
Thunderball, I was not pointing the finger at you. In fact, I feel you are actually trying to level the playing field, which is admirable. Nite-before-last's thread "WheatCues 'More bang for the buck!'" is what raised my ire. And I saw signs in this thread that some of that group were trying to insite things again.

By the way, I do not know Eddie Wheat personally, am not conducting any business with him, nor have I been promised anything from him in exchange for support. I would not hesitate to have him make me a cue, however, because mine would be a tool, not a closet item or display ornament. FWIW I presently shoot with a Predator SP/Z2 and am very happy with it - simple as it is, it is a great tool IMHO.
 
I hope it generated some cue sales for you

jazz, i do not need any sales i own a jewelry store, you know diamonds, gold silver. i make a lot more money with them than you ever will making sawdust. chuck starkey

COOL, if we are in a long, deep recession Mr. Ed can always punt his custom cue career (C3) and be the next James Bond or, worst case scenario, the next talking horse.:yeah:
 
Look Shankster, I didn't even post in this thread, and I dropped it on the other thread after I said I would. I could have continued on, especially since Mr. Wheat made a homophobic comment directly towards me on my way out, but I let it go because I had said I was done. Now you drag me back into this.

Obviously I'm one of the people you're talking about since you mentioned Ali and the other thread and I was the only one in there standing up against Mr. Wheat's libelous posts about her. So regrettably, I'm going to respond to you.

I have nothing against new people on the block. There have been a bunch of new business people coming onto the forum. How many of them can you list that have attracted even close to the amount of negative attention to themselves as Eddie Wheat has?

Oh, I forgot, you're all trying to protect protect Ali or, perhaps, protect the rest of us from him. (Really??)

What's wrong with standing up to libelous posts about Ali? I guess you think that's OK for him to do?

I don't need to protect you from him. Buy all the cues you want from him. It would actually help me because it'd keep him busy so he doesn't have to start so many threads about his cues on here. Honestly, I don't even mind that, but I'd appreciate it if he'd tone down the delivery of his ads a little.

I'm not out to hurt his business, although I do think he should be limited to only a certain number of self-advertising threads in the Main Forum without paying AZ for it. He compares these threads to commercials, but he leaves out the important point that commercials sponsor, i.e., PAY FOR the shows we watch.

So if he wants to be an annoying commercial, "in our face" (as HE describes it), then it's only fair that he pay for it, just as companies that put out TV commercials do.

All I will say about this part is, LMAO at bringing up the term, "nut hugging", and then writing what you wrote above. :shocked2: :killingme:

Now, I've just stated my humble opinion,

You've also made it a point to attack people by calling them immature names. *EDIT, I apologize, this statement was inaccurate. I don't think you actually called anyone names, but you did attack people's masculinity, accuse them of "nut hanging", etc.* And, even worse, you aren't even specifically quoting anyone, just taking some kind of shotgun approach, making it harder for people to defend themselves where applicable. It'd be nice if you spoke directly about any statements that you found so bad by using the quote function, IMHO.

and I expect to get majorly flamed as a result.

I have to admit, I am curious if you consider my reply a flame. :confused:

And if you wish to cancel out my few reps, have a ball. (I guess if they go to cancelling yours also, that's OK). But, I would advise that the next time you feel like jumping back on Ed Wheat, consider that the rest of the forum, like I, might see right through you. Again, JMHO

Well, I'll most likely be putting him on "ignore" after this thread dies down, so then we can all be happy again. :)

Make sure you "accidentally" put diamond or two in the box when you ship a cue to me ;)
 
I have owned a Wheat cue for years and luv it. I had a true custom cue
built by Eddie. Many cuemakers wouldn't touch what I wanted built and I was fine with that (will never jepordize a mans livleyhood if they want all their cue to hit the same.. so be it) I didn't want that.
Good to have the same car in an Iroc race not good in a tournament where my money is invested.

I personally hope none of you get a cue from him. Because I'm going make a few improvements to my design plus I'm trying a different wood to compare the hit(and I don't want to wait). Eddie is outspoken and opinionated but if you know what you want he will build what you ask for. As for custom fitting a cue to a customer golf has been doing that for years pool is just behind the times. So for those of making fun of that concept go buy a broom handle it has no personal specifications its design either (plus even money says you'll play the same).

For all those who luv to play and great cues... Have a wonderful day

Cuebaca, nice to see you're still paying close attention to Ed Wheat threads; many of us can now relax! The truth hurts, don't it/?????????????????

Poolhustler, I'm sorry, but I don't recall where you fit into all this. I just got home from a long day and expected serious flames and no rep. I am surprised! I don't wish to reread ten or twenty pages of posts to discern your intent, so I'll just shoot from the hip, and suggest you challenge Eddie Wheat to a sit up contest, or pull ups, or a foot race, or an arm wrestling contest - or - - - how 'bout a game of pool!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe challenge him to a cuemaking contest!!!! Hope your panties don't get in a bunch like you think mine are. I believe my problem is I spent 17 years in the Alaska bush prior to returning to SoCal. Up there the rules are different and five men don't gang up on one!

Nice to know you are unwilling to respond with a relevant point, or even a point at all as far as I can tell. That tells me it's safe to ignore anything else you might have to say. Phew, one less poster's posts to read on AZ.

Gee, maybe that's because the people who YOU are flaming are more mature and intelligent than you give them credit for.

I don't wish to reread ten or twenty pages of posts to discern your intent

Ah, so you admit... You don't want to know if what you're saying has any merit; you just want to blindly flame people because they don't agree with Eddie Wheat. Interesting. Well, they say you shouldn't feed the trolls, so have a good one.
