I like this salesman and wish his store was close by.....but lets get into a real world situation here......If I go into Billiards supply in Memphis....and ask to play for 3-4 hrs with a variety of cues......I'm gonna get run off quickly. The salesman is gonna say......hey,I cant let you chalk and play with 20 brand new cues.....if you play with them they are no longer new.
What I will do is let you use some of our house cues to determine which weight you prefer.....then you can choose one off the wall that meets your price restrictions. Honestly, how many suppliers will allow you to play with brand new cues????
