Forgive me, but why wait all those years for a such a plain cue?
Ok, really - the Searing has landed...

edit: No, it's not for sale, so you can save your PM's..
I take it you still haven't gotten that home table yet, eh? There is something to be said for playing pool in one's pajamas...LoL.
I hope you're feeling better, Ross...and enjoy that new honey of a cue!

I offer eleventybillion euros for it.....1pRoscoe said:Exactly - the past few cues I've ordered (and many more to come) have been in the true hoppe design. Hoppe ring and no bumper. It may be prone to damage moreso than a cue with bumper, but we who have them typically don't slam our cues on the ground, either....
Look at my Barry Cameron thread in the Cue Review section and you may see the theme...

What would a cue like this searing go for these days? if you could find one. Also, how long is the wait if you can get on the list to have one made?
From what I understand, Dennis has closed the list to any new orders....ugotactionTX said:
I guess it would go for whatever the person was willing to spend. I did get an offer of $3000 (and a few others slightly lower), which was turned down. This cue will not be sold.
I did play with it last night......... it gave me wood.... seriously...
Theres The 8th Wonder Of The World,,,then,there's Mr. Dennis Searing !!!

Just got off the phone with Janet Shimel at Cuetec and was very excited to learn that my new BEM Merry Widow true hoppe design Cuetec is shipping my way on Monday.
(Actually, I ordered three of them since I tend to slam my cues around.)
She said that they had used over 700 tiny little imitation birdseye decals on the cue.
This cue is to be "true hoppe" design with no bumper.
We who have a cue like that are indeed "special"!
NICE CUE ROSS (DTM)

A few more Wow's from me. Elegant is definitely the right word here but not sure about simple, cause those rings are anything but. Simply amazing work there.
Great cue.
Ross, what is your daily player these days? I think we have similar tastes in playing cues, cause I have a Hoppe Searing and a Tucker player like yourself.
dennis builds a real players' cue
one thing i love about all dennis' cues are the playability, this is his number one goal for every cue he builds. even his fancy cues, play amazing. he wants his cues played with and not just hung on the wall for someone to gawk at or some cue dealer to hoard in their collection. he is first and foremost a player, not just a cuemaker. it definately shows in how his cues handle.

Engraving
Hello Santorno,
Engraving is nothing new and other cue makers have engraved weight bolts, the really cool thing about this weight bolt is on how bright the polishing is. Dennis polishes his weight bolts to a high lustre like this one which I believe is very uncommon for most cue makers.

Dr. Searing you get a BIG " High Five" for this one ............ this cue hit a home run in my book!!!!
If Mosconi were alive today, he'd prolly play with a Searing.
