Cornerman said:Darrin Hill is a good cuemaker. He's an up and coming cuemaker. And he's got a ton of passion. He's got an obvious following in the Chicago area. But, he's got a ways to go, just like many other up and coming cuemakers. Many up and coming cuemakers I personally put well ahead of Darrin. That's shouldn't come as an insult or as a surprise to anyone. Let's not make it one.
I don't want this to turn into an anti-anyone. My post was specifically responding to words that suggested that Darrin is the best at this and the best at that. I'm sure you've seen plenty of his work. If you have an opportunity to see plenty of others (up and comers), then you'd agree with me. He's got a ways to go if someone wants to proclaim his as the best at this and the best at that.
There are entirely too many good cuemakers to make such a bold statement. Not when the comparisons between so many good up and coming cuemakers makes such statement ridiculous at best.

Hello Fred
Yeah I wasn't trying to start a controversial thing, nor was I saying you insulted anyone. I'm assuming your opinion is valid, but I was interested in the technical details that lead you to that opinion. If I put you on the spot, then I apologize.
