played w/ a suragtree

i played with one yesterday for maybe only 10 minutes, but i didnt miss a ball, i have owned/played with everything at some point and while 10 minutes isnt enough time to 100% get to know a cue, it was enough time to justify the price. i slow rolled balls, smashed them, used alot of english, and just played shape everything went where i pointed, the argument over the value, cost etc on these cues is over-for me if they all play like the one i hit with, they are worth a dime anyday of the week. sure the cue dosent make the player and i'm no champion but I've been around long enough to have an experieced/informed opinion.

Congrate on the purchase. Could you post some picture of your cue?

Nice Opinion

I always enjoy reading opinions and reviews on cues and all. Maybe there should be a section set up for cue reviews and opinions? Thanks for your input on the cue!

one thing i would like to add, I played with a cue a friend made-it was his hobby. I used that cue daily for over 3 years and nobody ever heard of him he probably only made 30 or 40 cues that were good-the rest were experiments. That cue played as good as anything ever-I let alot of people use it and they all wanted one. A cue maker dosent have to be famous to be a great cue maker or have to have made alot of cues. The marketing is what makes cues popular and has zero to do with how good they are. This cue is great anyone who picks it up and plays with it wouldnt argue about the price or want a pedigree to insure its value, you feel the value everytime you hit a ball, i'm not selling one or anybodys schill, its not my gig i'm just stating the facts.

Fatboy,

That cue wouldn't happen to be a LUXE cue would it?
