Over use of "HOPPE"

[SLIM]

I am wondering if anyone else feels that "hoppe" is way over used when it comes to describing a cue.
In my opinion "hoppe" should be used to describe a hoppe cue made by brunswick.
Don't get me wrong, the cues that are described as hoppe or hoppe style cues are great looking cues & may have a solid hit, but they are not hoppe cues.
Maybe no one else is bothered by this.
Please let me know your opinion.

Thanks,
slim

I am apoplectic over this very issue, and I am glad someone else feels the same way about this very serious matter.

Do you feel offended/annoyed when you hear a 6 point staggered cue referred to as a SW style as well? It's just a name to describe the style of a cue. No one's saying its an actual Hoppe cue...but a Hoppe style cue...

Apoplectic is a pretty strong word! Extreme rage is never a good thing!

That's a silly questiion. How about this?

If Hoppe was a Hippy would his pool nickname be Hoppe the Hippy or Hippy Hoppe?

I have kinda wondered bout that b/f not that its a big issue

It usually just strikes me as odd when I see a plain jane cue in birdseye, with a hoppe ring and they call it a hoppe cue. To me it's not a hoppe style cue unless it had points, but thats just me. Not that I really bother to worry about such things, but thats a good question b/c I've thought of things like that in the passing unimportant moments
