New Word On UltraSkins

[j2pac]

Tom, is a straight up guy selling a quality product at a very fair price. I have put his tips on a significant number of my cues as a "standard" tip and never had a single individual author a negative comment . . . keep up the good work Tom . . . we are with you.

Paul

Absolutely spot on.

Lol

Seems there's a jerk in every crowd. Sounds like because you couldn't get a free sample or because he wouldn't sell them to you at more of a discount (like that's even needed, ya cheap bastard), you decide they aren't worth anything to anybody. Nice! Tom's a great guy and his tips play great as well. You, on the other hand, could use a few lessons in manners and how to treat others respectfully!

I did buy some of Tom's tips, I installed them on three customers cues and all three did not like them, At that point I installed one on my cue and agree with my customers, I did not like that as well, It's not a big deal There not for everyone and that's fine,

Dick,

You have a great memory and without question I was being the biggest jerk on the planet earth.

I was/am suffering from Clinical Deppression topped off with non stopping Panic attacks. The Medications were not as good in that day as they are today. I compounded that with Drinking and off meds at that time as I had lost over a Million Dollars.

This brought hate to myself and about everyone around me. I am sorry you were a victim of Tom Stupidity. I spent around a year like that. I woke up one morning in a semi stabilized state, looked in the mirror, shook my head and said, Tom, get over yourself. No money, pushed all my friends away I had to rebuild. It took years finacialy and though they have come a long way with Meds I have jumped right through them and from time to time feel I am about to jump through them but know booze or more meds is not the answer as this is how many O'D I simply do a Time Out so I don't become that flaming Ahole you speak of and again I am sorry you met him/me.

In todays world I fully understand not every installer or player is going to like my tips. With this I think I can fairly say this will be true on many tips. I do resent when the very few refer to them as garbage, junk as if they were, I would pull them off the market.

I am not sure I am ready to pull out of my Time Out but this is a problem from within, my own, not yours and do not want to make it yours.

I want to thank all the posters for all the kind words and support. I chose Dick's post to reply to as yes, that was me, no question and if anything down played but felt good as I feel I have become a better person since those days, I couldn't have gotten worse.

Thanks

Well Tom, I never read the main forum, or any forum other than the 2 cue makers forums so I don't know what you are having to endure out there. First impressions are lasting impressions I am sorry to say especially among the cue sport participants.

I've never met you in person but my first contact with you was on another forum where, I'm sorry to say, we clashed immediately. There was some emails passed back and forth, threats changed hands and you made a real enemy in me. Later, you came onto this forum and made a number of posts and little by little you brought me around. You weren't The devil reincarnated that the first impression gave me.

You later brought out your line of tips and I held off purchasing any as there was no demand in my market for them. I have about 60 different types and hardness's of tips in stock so that I can please most everyone. I've never pushed one tip over another unless it's a real novice who has no clue what he want's for his style of play.

After a while I got a few of each hardness and as people began using them the word got around and sales picked up. There are probably 50 players to 1 who play pool who do not play good enough to tell the difference between a Kamui and a Ultra Skin but they can sure tell the difference in the price. I've been doing cue repair since the late 60's and I've put on many, many thousands of tips in that time. I've seen many tips that I myself don't like but others do. As a mechanic, it's not for me to determine what a customer likes but to make him happy.

It is very apparent that you are very well liked on this forum and you carry a good product at a very reasonable price. Don't let a few people who can't see the difference between a product that is being sold at a very reasonable price and another who is gouging. Some people are happy with their chevy and pass on the BMW.

Thats a shame.... Tom is a good guy. His tips might not be for everyone or every market, but its a good product at a good price point. Not sure what the haters are really wanting out of him. The tips preform and are at a good price point.
