So I got this cue and played with it for one weekend. The next time I went to play with it, I found it cracked near the joint. Not sure how it happened. Sent it to Pechauer and they said it must have been banged on a table to crack like it did. I NEVER hit it on a table or anything. They said it can be repaired but I refuse to pay them anything when they are flat out calling me a liar. So I got a new cue and I'm putting this one for sale. I figured maybe someone on here can fix it themselves or would be willing to have it repaired since I'm basically giving it away. Retails for $590, I'm asking $160 shipped. The shaft is almost worth that by itself.
