What are the opinions on Layani cues? Do they sell well? Do they hit well?

Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks!
 
they are absolutely amazing. only downside is that u cant just take another shaft and put it on, u will need thierry to make u one.

Extremely solid hitting cues..very firm hit. Very well made. Not as easy to sell on the secondary market, partially due to what Cedric said about it being tough to fit an extra shaft, etc. Real good cue to play with. If you buy as a player, go for it, if you want to buy for resale, you need to get it right.

One of my cues is a Layani. The workmanship is as good as any quality cuemaker. Theirry is a great guy to work with and really stands behind his product. The cue has a nice feel but is not very forgiving. You need a good stroke or you will be missing the straight shots. The english really takes with it. As for the problem with the joint compatibility I don't think of it being a issue. I have never had to replace a joint or a shaft. If you need a shaft replaced I am sure that any cuemaker could salvage and reuse the joint.

Four of my cues are Layanis... including my regular playing cue. The hit feels very precise and accurate. I'm not sure what 'The Book' means by not very forgiving... and it doesn't 'take' english any more than any other cue.

One comment from a pro (I can't recall - Luc Salvas?)who borrowed one from Thierry in an emergency was that he was able to play with it instantly - no break in period. The cue ball goes exactly where you hit it.

I have plenty of other cues to choose from, but you'd have to pry my Layani player out of my cold, dead hands.
 
o and since this is in the wanted/sale forum...my friend is selling a layani of his with a matched pred shaft (i think thierry charges around 250 for one). friend is looking to have thierry make him a new one soon so he's gonna sell this one to raise funds. if anyone is interested lemme know, i'll get pics and stuff.
 
You are right about this being a Wanted/For Sale thread....

I am acquiring a Layani cue pretty soon and wanted to see what the thoughts were on it so that I could put it on here.
 
I have two matching plain cocobolo Layani's. Both with stack leather wraps. I use one to break and the other to play. I seem to gravitate to my Layani's (I have a total of 5 shafts, including one predator) over anything else I have (Tad, Mottey, Southwest, Murray Tucker, Lambros, Judd Fuller, Billy Webb) and that could be due to if there was a pool room "accident", then I wouldn't suffer the same level of loss as with the others.
 
I,ve been playing pool for 48 yrs. and I used and owned a lot of cues and I find my Layani cue great to play with , the joint is the best I,ve seen or used. The wood in my shafts is very tight grained and heavy. You can,t go wrong with one.
