Don,
Forget this thread, LOL. You can buy smart, or you can buy stupid. People need to do research before they buy. There are certain cues that sell well, there are certain cues that do not.

It Never Makes Sense
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE HOBBIES/BUSINESS' THAT DON'T EVER REALLY MAKE ANY SENSE. I HAVE BOUGHT AND SOLD AND TRADED ALOT OF CUES(NOT AS MANY AS SOME OF YOU GUYS, I'M STILL YOUNG) AND DON'T THINK ANY DEAL EVER MADE FULL SENSE. AS LONG AS I'M HAPPY WHEN IT'S OVER IT WORKS FOR ME.

In the past I know that I have bought very, very stupid...lol. Lots of money, for me anyhow, just wadded up and thrown away!

Wow! These forums are great! Eveyone sharing opinions and ideas. Gotta love it! Just think, about a month ago, Bill (cornerstone) posts pics of his playing cue and everyone oggles at them and drools. I go ahead and make the comment that Richard Black cues don't play as good as they look and, before you know it, there's a 5 page thread of people fighting, threatening, etc. All because I don't like Richard Black cues!
Well, here it is for all of you out there who read, disagreed, had disagreements, etc. I'm sorry! I have my opinion. I base it on the several Blacks I've played with. They were all duds. I also base it on the opinions of others who played with the same as well as other cues and felt the same way. But, that's just me and just my opinion. If you love Black's cues, play with them until the cows come home. I've got a few cues that I love that would probably leave people scratching their heads as to why I play with them but, I love 'em!
Bottom line: Opinions are like rectums (cleaned up version)! Everyone's got one and most of them just plain stink! Mine included.
Sorry for the hassles. Didn't mean to rub anyone the wrong way.

What's even more interesting about this thread is the following:
Everyone will probably agree that most cuemakers nowadays can make a GREAT playing cue....yes, even Richard Black sometimes.
Everyone can probably also agree that the consistency in workmanship, the refinements and embellishments, design/asthetics, and especially consistent playability is what makes a TRULY GREAT CUEMAKER. The number of those is quite limited compared to the number of cuemakers that are out there today.
But you've unearthed the REAL TREASURE in this thread when you come to know the drivers behind all of this bickering...the allegations, innuendo, and statements.
~~ Reading the words......hillarious.
~~ Understanding the facts.....PRICELESS !!!

Hmmmm.... you got me thinking now. I can name at least three or four who make ugly cues that play like a dream and a few guys who make beautiful cues that I wouldn't even bring to the table.
I don't want to spill any names though (unless someone else does first)!
