New cue ... new way to look at 4 points...

Where are you located?
What pin type do you offer?
What are your wood choices?
What is the turn around time?
Can you do more than 4 points?
Do you have names for the cue models?

Thanks
 
Really Really nice!!!

Great innovative design!!! I was wondering what could be done that has not already been done and you my friend have found it!!! Happy for you.:thumbup:
 
please sign me up for one of these cues, love the design. I will sell every cue I got just to get one of yours. Whats the collar made out of? I am a big fan of a wood to wood joint and the 3/8 X 10 pin.
 
I am glad to see someone interested in doing some new designs.
I am sick to death of the same old traditional copy of a copy of a copy.
Keep looking for a new way to approach cuemaking.

And I agree with you, Mr. Stroud!

People have long asked me why I haven't gotten more involved in custom cue building, and my answer has always been because there are already too many makers doing the same old thing. I didn't want to do anything unless it was radically different. My avatar now shows the direction I decided to go.

I'm thrilled to see that others are coming up with new ideas, also. :D

problem is that my way of making things won't land me in the aca.... not what they are looking for at the time being... I was told Valley forge 2009.

First, I wouldn't be too discouraged over what some may have told you at Valley Forge, 2009. You seem to be receiving a very good response to the new cue designs that you have posted here, and that is meaningful.

And did you notice legendary cuemaker, Mr. Bill Stroud, has paid you an extremely nice compliment. I'd say that should be real encouraging.

They look nice, the next step I would think is to get some feedback on how they play.

I'm sure you must be aware that Richard Chudy (RC3 cues), who is IMO one of the most creative cuemakers of all time, is a master of the one-sided point veneers. He may have been the innovator of this but I can't say for sure. This design feature has become a bit of a trademark for many of his cues.

Keep on with your interesting new designs. I look forward to seeing more. :thumbup:

Mr. Brian

I guess i would like to first say thanks for your input and comment. Second I am really disconnected from the cue world in itself. See I live in a town called moselle ms where my neighbors are my cows. I'm talking about it's so country that the most fun you could have is to run from one end of the field to the other without stepping on crap. I am not around many cues except for meucci and player cues.... Those are what is common in small town bars. I don't get out much and I don't buy much cues. I stay at home with my two kids sell cues and cows...... yes I said cows. So as far as being influenced by others the most culture I got from cues was at the valley forge 2009. I did sell everything I brought but was meet with many ridicule from other cue makes for my cues...one reason why I didn't make it to the 2010 forge. but I am influenced by my children and childrens drawing. And My FATHER who I am very proud of he has always told me if I wanted to go into this business don't look at other peoples cue and pictures of cue so that you won't be tempted to do the same. if you happen to do something the same as someone it's better to be a coincdince than a copy of. as far as the ridicul I got I think it was uncalled for because I admired every cue I saw there cause I have never seen so much in one place and I told the cue makers there that I loved their cue....honestly... but they seem to take it different. O well .... who would you recommend to play test these cues?

Mr. Stroud,
I should have thank you for your input sooner but it is late. but thankyou for your input. and the truth is living where I live and I am relatively young and having two kids and cows to tend to it's hard to get into the who's who in pool. but I was made aware of who you are and did more reading and now I am ashame this didn't come to you much sooner than what it did. But thank you very much for your input and I will do things as unique as I can to be in a league of my own as you are. I don't want to compete with others I would rather compete with my self.
sincerely,
Marshall Piercy

***DISCLAIMER*** (I don't read entire threads before I post because I'm lazy so if any of this is repeated or already answered, my bad. :-) )

I have to agree with this. So many people keep finding ways to make minor tweaks to the same old designs. Seeing something like this is kinda refreshing! Sure, there's an RC3 element to it. Maybe even a little bit of a Miltonio flare. But the overall design is unique AND really cool looking too.

Like I said, I read as far as this post so I don't know if you answered this question yet or not but... are these cues cored? Are there any stability issues?

Nice job!

Nice job!

cues are cored and no stability issue yet as far as I can tell and the hit differs from the ivory I use and wood or course. if you noticed each cue pictured has different joints that's so I can test which is better for the cue. but things can change for the player.
