I am with you on this one
As soon as I read monster cue or Hits a ton
or Plays lights out I leave the thread before I step in
any more Bull$hit.
Seems like every cue you see for sale has these cliché buzzwords , Monster , hits a ton , plays like Kong , plays lights out
Me being a cue collector who plays with every cue I own , always Wonder , if this cue is a Monster , 2 ton hitting , lights out player why are you selling it ?
If you base the definition of Monster on a cue you personally play best with and feels like a part of your arm . Then I guess my old mid 80s Huebler SP would be my Monster , Albeit its an ugly Monster no way anyone would look at that particular cue and say Man that's a good looking Monster you got there
If you define Monster by a Cues Aesthetic Value , then my Cocobolo Rat Merry Widow that Asisasdad was good enough to sell me is a Monster one of the most beautifully configured cocobolo Widows you will ever see , it plays well
Also if Looks alone define Monster my Meucci HOF-1 is a Monster the Cue is gorgeous , it hits like a brick , feels clunky as hell , would rather play with a house cue but its a pretty devil
Monster , Lights out players are definitely in the eye and hand of the beholder
at the Moment I own 13 cues, pretty humble collection , but I hit with all of them , when I am playing 10 ball at home in a two hour session I might play with 7 or 8 different cues , all have their good points and bad points in my opinion .
