why? what don't you believe?
It's replies like this that really piss people off about you. What, four or more people just gave you the same Dufferin SP answer, and you come back with "the really horrible taper did not make a difference? " question.
Did it not occur to you that we don't think it has a horrible taper? Or are you that out of it to think that we all believe the taper is horrible, but we just dealt with it? Are you really that out of touch?
We gave you answers after the thread pointing out all the challenges posters have with you, and you still shit on the answers.
Freddie <~~~ unbelievable is right
Jeezus. Just about every member "there" is a member here.
Did you get the name of the cue?
Did you ask what city it was made in?
Have you searched google for the maker?

I am sorry. Just very hard to believe that a Rage sneaky pete cue would be preferable to a Schon, Meucci, or a McDermott. I do not know for sure, but I think I would probably hate the taper on the stock shafts that come with those Rage sneaky pete cues. The taper probably gets fat very quick. I like a nice long taper (at least as long as a Joss style taper for example). That is just me. I actually prefer a much longer taper (Meucci style / 16 to 18 inch taper?). If those super cheap sneaky pete cues had a much longer taper, then I might like them. The wood quality in those shafts is also probably very poor (so probably not worth paying like $40 or $50 just for a re taper from a pro).

Okay, well, I guess they do not mind a super stiff type of taper then. Very sorry, those type of tapers just are not for me (the type that start getting much thicker about half way down the shaft, or maybe not even half way down). They (the type of tapers in the shafts) have been pretty lousy (in my opinion) on most of the really cheap cues I ever seen. I guess the old Dufferin sneaky was not that bad. That was actually the 1st cue I ever purchased (for $60), back in around 1995. When I was eventually able to get a Joss sneaky, I was super happy. Those were really great cues (still are).
I am really sorry if I pissed you, or anyone else off.
It was not my intention.

What is the point in going there then? Because it is not moderated (no rules / say and speak your mind, no matter what it may be?)?

It would be a feeding frenzy where your bones would be picked clean in short order.

I do not think it had a name (just a super cheap production cue, from the Philippines). It looked super cheap too. It had a nice very thin handle though, and a super long taper in the shaft. That cue hit amazing (in my opinion). I was feeling really good, and confident with it (while I was getting out, from everywhere). All that I can remember, is that it was really flashy looking (but in a cheap kind of way), kind of like this one for example.

Not sure if the inlays were real, or not. They may have been. The guy told me that his wholesale price on them was $50 I think, so he may have been trying to resale them for like a $100.

Since you are a masochist I highly recommend you give it a look.
If someone asks why you did it just say "beats me"

I visited the site today and browsed through 4-5 threads that interested me.
If the words c**k sucker and mother fvcker do not offend you then go ahead and check it out .
Btw. Those words were not spelled the same way I typed them.

Lol, no, those words would not offend me in the least bit. To be honest, I only get mentally hurt when I feel that the person might be right about what they are saying about me (it is only hurtful if I feel that it might be true, or if they offend me in some other way that makes me feel stupid). If you were to call me a c..k s.cker, or a m.ther f...ker, then I would just laugh about it, lol.

I had a Joss cue at that time, but I think I was really broke. I remember that I was so broke, that I sold one of the 2 shafts that I had for my Joss to a guy for $30, just so I could get myself something to eat (it was on a road trip to a tournament, about an hour away from home).

I got a blank from cue components I think and hand someone turn it down and throw a joint and but cap on it and use an OB 2 shaft. I have had many Scruggs cues had McDermott custom make me a cue and several others but always go back to shooting with piece together cue.

My reason for going there is because I am personal friends with the main members of the community there. I look forward to seeing them once or twice a year at different events.
