How many Cues do you own?

Currently, I only have three plus one on order. I sold or traded out all of the rest so now I'm down to the Mottey, the Bluegrass (R. Harris), and the fancy Skip.

But I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of a Sugartree custom I ordered. Eric (also known in some circles as QBuilder) is a lesser known Alaskan cuemaker who has some of the finest woods I've ever seen. He makes beautiful cues that, according to those who have played with them, hit like a dream. i can't wait to get my hands on it.

It's a wonder the Szamboti cue doesn't smack the shit out of the break cue just for being within 100 feet of it.

Ok.. smart a$$.. lol

Here is the deal.. the Charger cue is a cue torn down by Skip Weston and rebuilt and he made me a shaft for it. So looks are deceiving. Its my break, sneaky pete.. now would you believe when I go to bars it's in a neon pink McDemott soft case.

I am anxiously awaiting its formal partner from some "redneck wood butcher"... :D

Seven Now

It is easier for me, as I am not married, and as long as I spend money on my GF, she doesn't mind me spending money on cues:

At the moment I have:

Hercek
Bender
Black Boar
Morris
Prewitt
Chudy
Capone

Want to get:

BlueGrass
Balabushka (someday)
 
I have a total of 10.

But before you get too excited, here's the deal.
4 are kit cues, so they're as good as garbage.
2 are some $200 Lucasi cues I picked up for about $130 apiece. They're my "house cues."
1 is my Jump/Break (Stinger)
3 are custom cues from Bob Dzuricky. I'm including in this total the two he's currently building (shouldn't be more than another month) and the one I've been playing with for a few months now.
 
feeling under-cued

I was beginning to worry about too many cues till reading this thread. Now I'm worried I don't have enough!
I only have 4:
Original Schuler
Scruggs
McDermott w/ Predator
Barringer custom

...and I'd like to find another Original Schuler 200 natural.
 
The Charger cue

I know you are all sweatin' the Charger cue...

It breaks like Drew Brees shoulder... :D

B4 you OWN a cue you have to pay 4 it and HIT at least 10,000 balls with it.
I own one and 23 others are passing through.

10,000 balls isn't very many, so if you only have one cue that would qualify then I have to wonder just how much pool you've played. I've hit at least 30,000 balls with every cue I've bought except one, and I've hit a few 100,000 balls with one of my older cues. Even a casual player that hangs out at a bar should hit at least 100 balls in one evening. Any "regular" pool player will easily hit over 10,000 balls per year, and a pro will hit over ten times that much. It's not unheard of for a pro to hit 1000 balls in a day while practicing.

I could be totally off base and misunderstood what you were trying to say. I can see your point when you say you need to hit at least 10,000 balls with a cue before you own it, but I believe you need to do this with a number of different cues before you can get a real feel for each cue's characteristics. After that, you can buy a cue and get a better idea of how it plays in a shorter length of time because you have something to compare it to.

23 others are passing through? :confused: Maybe you're just too young and still a beginner, or maybe you keep searching for a new cue thinking that will make you better. If you've only gotten used to one cue, then anything that feels different won't feel right to you. The problem may just be allowing more time to get used to each cue. I suggest spending more money on table time and less on new cues, considering you have 23 that are hardly used. ;)
