My New Wheat Cue...

Is this the bizarro universe version of Eddie Wheat where "!!!" turns to "?".

My guess is it was originally posted thru either a blackberry or PDA type unit that has internet. I have noticed that when people have posted from one, almost all punctuation turns to '?' marks. Then 26 minutes after the OP posted this, they edited the ? marks out. Considering that Ed's IP address was probably blocked, any other Usernames he may have had wouldn't be able to be used from there, but can be used from any other IP address, anywhere else. See my drift? Maybe Mr Wilson should be asked nicely to look into this?

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

guys i have read lots of Eddie's posts and the writing in this post right here is way to advanced to be Eddie.i don't do this for a living or anything and i know that Eddie might have had someone reword and retype his post,but what is written above is not on the same level as Eddie writes.

not trying to stand up for anyone or start an argument,but i just thought it was obviously not Eddie writing this last post.read it carefully and then read a few of Eddie's posts.the difference is several years worth of education.
 
I would like to know, from Thekidd77 as to how a new cue can get chalk dust on the shaft and in the joint hole, along with a chipped butt all in a week? I play a lot, and can't get a cue that dirty, that quick.
Just a question....
Dave
 
The chip was an accident on my part not Eddies..

The place where I play is not kept up very well and the tables are filthy...that's why the shaft is discolored...

There is lots of conspiracy theory on this board, but that is the truth. Thanks.

So did Eddie sell you this cue as a six pointer??? We know he has serious problems with counting.

No offense but Eddie could make a cue that made c-notes jump out of the pockets every time you made a ball and he still wouldn't sell any on here.

Whats your problem? Looking for an argument?
 
Come on guys thekidd77 was nice enough to take the time to share the photos and comment about his new Wheat cue.
Why would anyone want to make him feel bad about that?
Let's not chase him off for trying to be friendly.

I think he deserves some green for doing that after reading all the posts about its maker and still wanting to share the information with us.

I was the 74th post on here are you stupid, or do you just randomly pick someone to start an argument with?
 
The only thing I learned from reading the gone ballistic thread is john schmidt was banned from here?

Is this true?
 
Way to advanced for EW.

Mason, I agree whole heartedly. The writer of this post was light years ahead of EW in terms of both grammar, and punctuation. No way that was him. EW NO, Robert Frost, maybe! LOL. At any rate kid, glad you like your cue!
Regards.
 
correction..

I was recently corrected (thanks to Mr. Barry Szamboti) that Spain had not made blanks for his father...I was thinking of Frank Paradise, not Szamboti.

My point was, like others in the forum have stated, that many cuemakers sell "custom" cues where they may have not made every component of the cue. For example, a cuemaker usually orders the rubber bumpers elsewhere, although some cuemakers do fabricate their own bumper. This does not mean that their cue would not be custom, however..

Barry, thank you for the correction. Best wishes! :smile:

You actually know him? wow, I'm impressed. Does he post here? I haven't seen him, but I only stay in certain areas of the forum.

catch?

LOL! Good catch!!

Obviously thekid77 is pretending to be someone else..... I wonder who?

Yes, I do occasionally refer to myself in the third person. It's a habit that comes from years of writing in APA (American Psychological Association) format for research papers.

In this particular format, everything must be written from the third person to remove bias...

What I wrote, however, was obviously not an APA style research paper, it was a brief note--the intent of which was: 1). to thank many people on this forum for the kind messages that I have received, and 2). to address one particular individual whom I felt offended me personally with a very unthoughtful and insensitive comment...

For all those negative posters out there on this forum, remember why I started this thread: to share the truth about my personal experience with Ed Wheat.....
