I sold the second cue I ever bought. It was the first cue I ever fell in love with but it was lower end and I thought it was time to try lower deflection stuff like predator etc.
8 cues later and my buddy broke the shaft, so i bought the butt back for nothing and slapped the original shaft that came with it back on, and it was love all over again.
I've sold everything else now and am so glad to be reunited with this cue. If I ever buy another cue, it will be a newer look but the exact same model cue (and even then, I have my doubts about whether it will be as good as this one).
It's weird, I fully admit that other cues hit better. But there's something about just being so familiar with a cue. And even after playing with this one cue this whole time, I feel like we are just reaaaally starting to get to know each other.
