Hey...does anyone have any opinions on john madden cues...maybe like this one http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=21257. Thanks in advance Ron
I have a lower end Jack Madden and it plays excellent click here to see it. I wouldn't think twice about buying that cue on AZ it is a steal for the price and I have bought from JAZZ before and he is a excellent person to deal with. The only reason I didn't buy his cue is that I'm going to the EXPO and will most likely pick up a cue from John Madden.RonsTheOne said:Hey...does anyone have any opinions on john madden cues...maybe like this one http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=21257.

CaptiveBred said:cnc points or a pattern... Anything that uses duplicating methods is worth no more than a production cue to me. I'm sure his cues play nice and are well made, just not worth the price.
When I see rounded points the value of the cue drops quite a bit.

PoolSleuth said:Well if I may ask a Question do you buy a Cue Hit, or Playability, or Glitter Factor?
Playability is all I care about. I like a good "hit" but I play the same with any kind of hit, within reason. Don't care too much about the looks. Of course, I don't want a pink cue lol
Think the cue in Question is a good Value for the money if someone wants a Cue for Playing...![]()

gforces1911 said:Jack made me a cue that was completed last month. Great hitting stick. Solid and not overly hard hitting. Good wood. Nice workmanship and attention to detail. Nice joint protectors as well- they are numbered and have the year on them. I was pleased with the whole deal. I believe that Jack is doing a lot of recuts so I am not so sure about the CNC comments. Jack is a good cuemaker who makes good cues for players- I think he has a bright future ahead.

I sent him an idea, detailed drawing, and it was complete per my idea.

SirBanksALot said:I'm a bit prejudiced as Jack grew up in this part of the country so I want to see him do well. He is a great player and that HAS TO HELP him build cues that play well. Relative to the price of his cues now as compared to the upside as the years go by - I really do believe that his cues are a great investment

I am more of a hand crafted masterpiece consumer if the price is high. If the price is low, I expect production techniques.
