My New Wheat Cue...

I was up a little earlier this morning mainly to watch hurricane Ike's track, and started reading the thread live that did Eddie in. I think he was trying to get the thread deleted. He didn't get that done.

Maybe he was trying to get banned. He WAS able to pull that off, LOL.
 
Jb

I was wondering about the JB myself. Could that thing be a Jump Break cue?
 
I don't want to open any can of worms or anything, but I had a friend of mine analyze the original post and had him cross-reference with some of EW's posts. My friend does this stuff for a living.....

His conclusions (without doing the whole 9 yards, mind you...he only looked at it over lunch) was that there is a good probability that the original poster and EW are the same person. He mentioned that the original poster seemed to have tried "too hard" to praise EW's work....and used similar phrases and style of writing as EW. He mentioned that the original poster started off the post as being an "individual" using the terms "My", "I" and "I'd".....but then ended off as a "we" and "us". He said this type of "identity confusion" is typical of someone trying to be someone he is not.

Also, the title of the cue was about "My New Wheat Cue", however, the original poster does not talk about the cue directly until the last paragraph when he said it was the finest hitting cue he'd ever shot with....but only after making the clarification that the cue was "completely custom-made by Mr. Wheat", which is something a normal person would not do, because everyone already under the assumption that Eddie Wheat built it. The first three paragraphs only talks about EW and his impecable service and ability as a cuemaker.

He concluded that, although the title of the thread was "My New Wheat Cue", the main purpose of the thread is to praise the cue-maker....and not the cue. In other words, it was an advertisement.

Oh well....my friend said don't hold him to it... but I thought it was interesting!


Oh....and I forgot to add the use of "..." at the end of the last sentence of each paragraph within the body of the post was a DEAD GIVEAWAY.

This doesn't sound like something Eddie would do.:p

I did not notice any of that ... thanks for pointing it out.
Also the exclamation points and the end ... three of them.

Who knows ... who cares.
The EW tide has washed back out to sea.

Wish I could help.... :smile: but he's not that kind of analyst....

But he can forensically check for patterns in your threads/posts... but, somehow...I don't think it would be hard to distinguish your posts from others... :grin:

Freudian slip? Just teasing, but you have to admit that's an amusing typo.

I for one am glad to see the mods decided to lock, NOT delete, the last few Eddie Wheat threads. Thanks, Mr. Wilson et all.
 
Follow me....I'n jumping off a cliff !

I can't believe this. Everyone says they're glad he's gone, and here is a 70 post thread on why he's gone. Is he Charles Manson, or Jerry Jones ?
Puhleeeeze, pass me the Kool-aid.

Wishing the utmost respect to ALL on this forum, I'd like to share my experience with Mr. Wheat and his craftsmanship...

I ordered a cue from Mr. Wheat back in April of this year, and just received the cue about a week ago. The cue took longer to finish than initially projected, however, Mr. Wheat went out of his way to rectify any hiccups in the transaction..

With that being said, I'd just like to share with anyone who may be unfamiliar with Mr. Wheat's talent as a cue maker that his work is top-notch. He builds the cue for the player, and maintains a high level of quality in a very affordable package...

From top to bottom, this cue was completely custom-made by Mr. Wheat, and I can say with confidence that this is one of the finest hitting cues that I have ever shot with. He gave us a call after we received the cue to make sure we were 100% happy with it, and he stands behind his work. Here are a few photos...thanks Eddie!!! :)

Where are you from? would love to see this cue in person. BTW what were the hiccups & what was done to resolve them? As you can see on the other thread It didn't get handled very well, so if you could post how he made it right we would be very interested. Thanks JASON

I hate to burst your bubble, but that cue "from top to bottom" is a spliced blank he bought from someone that prefabricated it for him. The way to tell someone spliced their own hustler butts is to look for long points. All Eddie has done here is make a somewhat fancy sneaky pete.

A cue like that should take no more than 6-8 weeks, depending on the blank maker's stock, and how seasoned your shaft wood is.

First and foremost, I'd like to thank everyone on this forum for your kind comments.

I am aware of the animosity going on, and have, as was predicted, been on the receiving end of some negativity for simply sharing my personal experience. In light of this, there is one thing that I'd like to address:

Mr. Shawn Armstrong, thanks for your input. Consider the following a stark reflection of the condescending nature of your previous post:

Nice attempt at "bursting my bubble" lol, however, by posting that comment, you imply that you are able to open my eyes to some mystical unseen truth that I am unaware of regarding the making of this cue. The fact is, I am completely satisfied with the cue--that is what really matters. It was custom-built to my specifications from top to bottom, not yours, therefore the cue won't naturally please you..

Here's a penny four your thoughts: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/customize

I don't know what definition of "custom" exists in your "bubble", but here's how it is defined in the Merriam-Webster Lexicon: "to build, fit, or alter according to individual specifications."

My cue was built, fit AND altered according to my own personal specifications "from top to bottom", so yes, "from top to bottom" it is a CUSTOM cue..

To elaborate, I was fully aware that this cue was to be a conversion...in fact, I was given the option to have Mr. Wheat either make the cue from a pre-spliced blank (as I did), or to have him build the cue completely from scratch (doing the splicing himself, which would have been a bit more expensive).

I know you're concerned, and it shows in the wording of your post, but set your mind at ease--I am completely aware of what I received in terms of workmanship, and believe it or not, I can even tell you what kind of tip is on the cue, the material the ferrule is made out of, the length of the ferrule, the shaft diameter at the tip, the type of taper, the length of the taper, the kind of joint pin, what the joint rings are made out of, the diameter of the joint rings, the size of the inlays and the material they're made out of, the distance the inlays are placed in relation to the butt cap, the length of the cue, the length of the butt cap and the material it is made out of, where the cue balances, and even what the two initials written in English on the butt cap say...Can you? The difference between you and I is that I can tell you what I actually got--you at best could make an educated guess as to what I received in terms of all of the afforementioned specifications of the cue...

Does "custom" to you mean that the same guy that starts the cue finishes it? That's fine, but if your definition is the only definition, then you'd be saying that many of Mr. Szamboti's cues were not "custom" because some of them were pre-spliced by Mr. Spain.

Maybe you could be the one to add an alternate definition of "custom" to the lexicon, then I'd want your autograph..

A new education is just a mouse click away. You don't define me. Have a nice day :)

I am not interested.Many of your posts I find to be childish.This matter is concluded. wheat is banned. Why prolong this discussion? Let it go,the show is over.I am sure you will be able to find another band wagon to jump on soon enough.

It is interesting that this thread was started at 3:55am which is about the same time that Ed was loosing it in the thread that led to his being banned. Interesting timing there...
