Copy is such a negative word. Boti tribute cue sounds so much better. Southwest style cue, OK.
I hope it does sound negative, because that's how I intended it, if you feel a need to sugar coat things go right ahead, but stealing is wrong and somebody with Jim's ability has no need to do it.
If all the great designs have been taken and thats what you like, then thats what they build.
Where is the law that says you should be able to have whatever *you* want? That is such a bullshit idea to have. I really like a Lamborghini, guess what I can't afford one, now what??? And besides that all the great designs aren't taken, you are proof of it and with today's technology all things are possible and the limits are endless.
Who did I copy my design from, Jim? Lets try not to be so negative, please...
How bout let's be positive, your design was something you decided to create, to set your cue apart from others, you have something that is uniquely you and you deserve credit for doing it. Great job! Now how bout 2 or 3 guys on your pool team decide they like *YOUR* cue and they run off and have a few copies of it made, then each week when you go to play you have to look twice before you pick up *your* cue to make sure it's the right one. Will you feel honored that they made "tribute" cues??? Come on be honest here.
I suppose I am opening the door to a flame war, but i just want this thread to be about a great cuemaker... JMW
