mr.webb please email me about the pricing of a cue like this.....would prefer no inlays as to keep with the basics simplistic good looks of a cue like this......also would like to know what other point configurations you will and will not do.....i really like the look of 5 pointer like the classic 5 point omega/dpk when they were being made......just drop me a line at quewhiz189@yahoo.com ....thanks for your time, juston

Well there are two problems with Dukes theory..
The number one problem is its much easier to cut sharp in ebony, than PH. At least thats what I am told. Second is the cue design that DZ is emulating (points/rings) is that of a classically done cue, even those guys sharpened the inlays.
One of Dukes points I will agree on, is some people or person, needs to call it for everybody, especially if you wanty to own the soapbox.

As far as the inlays on the but go.....
Heres the story
I picked them out and knew exactly what I was getting. it was either this or "boxes" and I'm happy I picked this.
Not only am I very pleased with how it came out, because its better than I expected, but it plays very well. If you see me around I'm more than happy to let you try it.
Thanks for everyones opinions

Joe think about it for a minute, is this something you really want to pursue? I mean do you really want to continually be exposed for an obsessed stalker and a fool?? Let it go man, you are wrong like always. If I were you I would have flipped off the handle and called you a liar and a hypocrite by now. I am willing to ignore you and let you off the hook but you just want to continue to try and drag me back into your obsessed little fantasy to stay in the spotlight.
You see Joe I already posted in this thread and called Mike lazy and stayed consistent with what I think is right (sharp inlays) I don't care if mike is pissed at me, we've already had this conversation and he knows where I stand on the issue. but you see Joe you on the other hand a guy who claims to like sharp inlays also claimed to have personally ordered 3 Webb's (we all know they were Mark's cues) So now by your way of thinking I could call you a hypocrite because you bought cues from someone who does something you are against. Isn't this the logic you continually try to use on me with the design theft threads??? I know to a normal thinking person it would be ok as long as the cues didn't have rounded inlays in them (Or weren't copies in my case) but to you and by your way of thinking I should be able to kill you right?? LOL You are such a clown. Let it die Joe or I will keep on making you look like the fool you are.

DDKoop said:Just thought I'd bring this thread back to life considering I had the opportunity to hit with this cue a couple of weeks ago (Thanks Paul).
The hit was amazing. Nice and stiff with great feedback. Not many cues feel this comfortable and if you are ever going to sell it, I have first dibs
Koop
Hey Mike,
Just thought I'd share my original post with everyone and apologize to you for stirring up a shit storm just because I liked the playability of your cue. Never once did I mention anythig other than the way the cue plays and next thing I know the thread is being hijacked because someone was upset in another thread at the thought of people giving constructive criticism about the inlays in someone elses cue.
Regardless of the BS that has ensued, Paul's cue plays jam up and I love it.
Regards,
Koop
I never considered myself lazy, I may lack the proper machine for doing diamonds inlays with real sharp tips, I'm working on that. I also refuse to use epoxy to misleed people. If you own a jewelers glass then you would know what I'm talking about. Joe has the full backing and trust of Mark. I talked to Mark on the phone frequently, so Marks word is good enough for me. So to Joe Van just like in the private mails that we have had,
Thank you, to you and Mark.
And JIMBO
Who could ever get mad at you.

Thank you Sir:
No apology needed, Nor do I have any ill feelings towards any of the post,

No where did I mention YOU But they say, a guilty conscience cannot be masked. The only fool here is you, BTW since I mentioned NO ONE in particular and was just agreeing with Duke, looks to me like the stalker is YOU.
BTW Mark and I decided to order some of Mikes cues for a reason. Not one I or we want to share with you. But I am sure you know it already since you know our business before we do it. As far as ordering cues from Mike even though he left rounded inlays, you can read he is working on a better technique. But if you want to use yourself and my treating of you as an anology, well you missed the mark as usual. See, I may not like the practice, but no where does it say in my tag line to:
"Stop Rounded Corner Inlays"

No problem Mike. I hope you didn't think I was negatively commenting on the inlays, I just wanted to point out the differences between your cue and the DZ cue. Had you done a 4 point veneered cue with those tyoe of inlays, well hey, I have to save me rep

I think I just vouched for your rep. The only thing that you have ever said that I consider wrong is to use two different cuemakers in the same post. As far as veneers, I am almost finished with the machine I am building, when that's done I'll start to build my new inlaiy machine.
DDKoop said:
But of course, it's a Webb. Virtually every Webb I've hit with (including my own two) hit the same, nice!!!! BTW, I've hit with this particular cue too and it plays well.
Dave (in Boston), sometimes I think none of us on that team deserve a Webb.
As far as the inlay controversy ... beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If somebody thinks somewhat rounded inlays don't look good, for whatever reason, then they shouldn't buy a cue with somewhat rounded inlays, if they think they look good then they should buy it. Seems simple to me. I approach it like I do art. I don't know jackshit about art, but I know what I like when I see it and that's all that really matters.

Hi Steve,
I've only hit with a couple and one was much older. I can definitely tell you that his newer cues hit totally different and so much better. Mike has certainly come a long way in a fairly short time and from the hit of Pauls cue, I would highly recommend Mikes cues to anyone.
Regards,
Koop

Well, since you could never get mad at me I guess I can ask the question. You say you don't have the right machine to do this work, but your machine can cut sharp pieces, wouldn't all you'd need to do is hand cut the pocket with an exacto knife and over size the piece sharp? I apologize if I'm wrong, but I'd love to learn more so please explain. I'd also like to add that the word lazy is very negative and I wasn't looking to be negative, it's just that I (along with many others) feel inlays should be sharp, and if you're in that camp I can't think of another word to use. But on the other hand many excuse the practice by claiming they disagree, I think the real reason is that the majority of buyers don't care and this saves time and increases profits.

So now you want to say that it doesn't matter what your beliefs are as long as they aren't in your tag line LOL, Ok. I guess if I take it out of my Tag line it means I stopped thinking it. And for the record I don't give 2 shits why Mark ordered cues from Mike, the funny thing is when you were asked about cues *YOU* bought (not Mark) you said 3 webb's and now you are admitting it was Mark and thast you are a liar, the good news is we all already knew that.

LOL Hey who mentioned my name Paul??? LOL He never said me, you must also have a guilty conscience to think he meant me, clearly he was vague enough as to not mean anyone in particular. It's funny when a guy isn't man enough to admit what he was trying to do even when it obvious to everyone with a pair of eyes. :-D What a clown.

JimBo said:
Jimbo,
Very, Very good question. I've often wondered why "custom" cuemakers leave points/inlays rounded. I much prefer sharp points/inlays from custom cuemakers. Otherwise a Schon or Joss would suit me just fine.
I'm with Jimbo, I am not trying to slam any cuemakers, but is it just a question of time?
