Sounds like you have not invested much in this game! Therefore you have probably not won much in this game. The race car driver with the least amount of money in his car has a far better chance of coming in last place regardless of his driving skills. That is why amateur racecar drivers are limited to $1500 or less in some divisions. The rich guy invests 50K in his car and all the rest have 10K. To keep it fair they put a limit in some divisions. Just something to think about. You get what you pay for.
 
Shit, so now I am going to need even more weight??? ..... I might need an extra ball or two if my opponent plays with a corked shaft.... Damn you Sammy Sosa!!!

It kind of does if you consider the money you make with it. I know $600 sounds like a lot but A++ shafts and all the time it takes to tune one I don't make much. Shaft wood is so different. Even if it's from the same tree. Even if the weight and growth rings are the same. They all test different with the exact same taper. So to tune one of these bad boys you have to put it together and then test it. Cut the ferrule off and and drill it deeper or bigger or make it lighter or a combination of these plus a whole lot more just to test it and do it all over again until it tests so low it its insane. But once you do it, it is worth the time and money. You can spin the ball to measures never achieved before with out the cue ball squirting off. I know, sounds unbelievable. So if your in Vegas look for the guys wearing my shirts and ask them if you can hit with their cue I made them. Then ask them about it. Ask them if it is worth the price. Ten years from now expect to pay double.

This post/thread as stated, is not meant to sale. It is intended as an FYI or notice or bulletin of an upcoming event. I am stating to the general public that I am not going to do this anymore. If I wanted to do it I would continue taking the orders. I would have listed it in the for sale section. My website clearly shows on the link discontinued effective July 1ST 2012. By the way, my bump has healed. I'll bet you my cue is more accurate than yours. $500. Then after that we can play some.
 
Click on the link and watch the video. Skip to 2:25 and tell me if I am imagining it or is that shaft being driven into the table and watch it flex.
I hope I am seeing things. Kevin Peigans cue? I would have told you to keep it after that.

Ask them if it is worth the price. Ten years from now expect to pay double.

And in ten years expect to be not selling many or any shafts.
I don't see any shaft being worth $600 let alone double that.

Can you provide us with a list of people/cue makers that used your machine.
Truthfully, if after watching that video, I can't imagine anybody crazy enuff to allow their cue to be placed into that machine. And that is why I suspect your post regarding the close date for independent testing on your machine, that no one has taken you up on the offer.
 
One of my favorite Saturday night live quotes,
"What don't you understand, the buh or the by?"




yeah, I crack me up:D:D:D:D:D
 
Wait a minute. He said shafts. Plural.

Let's not be hasty to judge.

How many shafts would one get at that price?

I just got off the phone with Kevin as he is in Vegas and has ordered another shaft. He is thinking about driving here from Vegas. A 7 hour drive. If he does he will see the robot in person and can report to you. I know these 2 videos are piss pore and don't show all you need to see. I have been so busy and overwhelmed with cue orders and cue wraps and tips and so forth that I have not had the time to make better videos. A ton of collectors and players have been here to see it in person and are blown away. The robot absolutely does no harm or damage to a cue. I'll bet $2000 on that also. Let me know how many people you would like to talk to and I'll have them call you or You can make a post here on AZ and they Should answer here also. I am sorry if I come across arrogant but this real is the real deal. I am serious about about the references. Let me know. The bets are real. I wish all of you out there could see this in person. You would have a totally different attitude. I will see what I can do to get people to post.
