as i understand this,
subdue denied the cue ever cracked after telling nick he heard a snap sound
subdue maintained all along after this that the cue never cracked
nick bought the cue with the right to make a thorough examination,which he did before deciding to keep the cue as he found no evidence of damage
other than a wrap area which amounts to nothing
now after all these protestations that nothing was wrong with the cue while he owned it,subdue now feels it necessary to reverse his previous statements and claim that
in spite of all his previous statements to the contrary that he now admits the cue is damaged
it is a well known fact that subdue doesn't like nick for some reason or other,so now we are expected to believe that subdue can now be trusted to tell the truth even though
it is in direct conflict with his previous remarks to the contrary
it might be claimed that i am a friend of nicks.this is true,but i met him here on az,made several deals with him,and enjoyed playing pool with him when my wife and i were in pensacola.thats how we became friends
dozens of people on az have enjoyed working with nick,with no complaints,so as far as i can tell nick is trustworthy and i view these remarks as an attempt to cast doubt on his character
it will take a lot more than doublespeak to cause me to doubt Nick
i assume that Nick is standing behind this cue as he does all of his cues.buy it,examine it,even have a cuemaker test it and if anything is suspect,return it for full refund
so in conclusion,its not the old broken cue syndrome,its the old doublespeak slander
unless these facts which are well known to all are wrong
i personally will be glad to assist in this manner any way i can
this particularly disturbs me as Nick suffered a severe head damage on his job,and has had much difficulty recovering
