Mezz Cues

I had a Mezz set long long time ago. Good cues but no way worth their current price.

WTF. Mezz cues are in very low or zero stock everywhere. They sell them faster than they can make them. Just how in the hell are they over-priced?? The market determines that. People say the same shit about Porsches yet they seem to sell as fast as dealers can get them. Don't confuse YOUR budget with what a product regularly sells for.

The fact that people are willing to pay overpriced prices doesn’t not make the product worth it.

I just received an Avant with the blue rings from Dawg. It has fine scratches all over the place, not happy for spending 500 on a plain jane butt. Haven’t shot it yet, just received it last night. Everybody says how great their quality is, in my case, I believe Dr. Deming would be rolling in his grave.

Mezz cues finish is second to none. If it was sold to you as a new never used cue and has fine scratches, that is most certainly a dealer issue and I’d send it back.

I have that exact butt for sale in the for sale forum and it is like glass. Brian.
 
I have 2 Mezz cues. The quality is exceptional. Even the thread timing is exactly the same for both when I attach an extension in the butt. Could be a coincidence. But my experience with Mezz is that nothing they make is by chance.

I bought my Ignite shaft there and it wasn't cheap.

I've been playing with it, for a while now.

I was late to CF..........

Ignite isnt cheap anywhere. I believe it has the highest retail price of all the CF options.

With that being said... IMO, it's worth it.

Custom cues are pretty and some play great but some play like crap. The finish on some custom cues is made by hand and is no way near the finish of the high level production cues that uses the same type of finish that is used in the car industry. The costruction is not always greath either, you can see that after a few years when you can acually feel the inlays, rings and the points through the finish. Some even pop through the finish. Some of those nice custom cues don't stay straight after 20 years...
Now all these issue could occur with production cues as well, but then you lose a couple of hundreds and not a couple of thousands.

I have a bunch of cues (over 20), some high end production, some by custom cue makers. I really like pool cues, I consider them to be "functional art" pieces. but to be honest, if I was living in the US where there is a market for cues, I would probably sell them all and keep like 3 cues to play with. And if I was just starting, I would get a nice set of production cues (player, breaker and a jumper) and that's it.

Exactly what I did, I bought Becue cues, best playing cues I have ever owned.
