Freddie, I just read that long response from Dean and tbh, nothing much seemed to be determined to me. He says *generous people who wish to remain anonymous* made the Jackpot cues. I read that as more sidestepping.
Dean also claimed that he said that Jack would be receiving help on these cues in his early sales ads, I don't recall any of that but I did read a number of times him saying that "Jack was making" the cues, an easy search will show those. There was even a thread he started on the Cue & Case gallery where he was run-off for placing a sales ad on the wrong forum and of all places (The Cue Gallery), he did so posting no pics.
Dean added in that thread "I hope to get Jack to post some pictures of himself and his latest cues"
I know how all of this strikes me; everyone has to make their own determinations. I'm not loving what he's done here.
best,

My bad. Dean only revealed that Jack didn’t hands-on build the cues.
In the end, I don’t understand this thread’s direction. If people don’t want to buy one of these, is there really a reason for all the “controversy”? There’s seems to be no money risk (other than shipping back the cue, apparently). I’m having trouble finding the downside.
Has anyone actually returned one of these cues? Has anyone returned any of Dean’s cue deals?
Freddie <~~~ must be confused
