Prewitt cues

Don't know about the cnc, but both Ernesto and Oscar Dominguez have used EP cues, so that tells you something about their playability.
Ed's cues are top notch. Ed makes his own full splice blanks, his cues play great!
Eddie is a master machinist and very good at using Mastercam afaik.
Yes, Ed Prewitt uses CNC machinery in the building of cues for inlays. The CNC is just a tool. One must have the knowledge of how to program and operate the tool and Ed has this in spades from his machinist background. He is also a genius in the mechanical realm. I have been an EP dealer for over 5 years. I also play with an EP cue and feel there is no better playing cue made today for any money. He uses great woods and a precision approach to cuemaking. He usually makes about 18-20 cues per year. As far a appreciation goes, the honest answer is nobody has a crystal ball. Right now there are very few cues or makers where appreciation over list price is a certainty. If you're looking for a great playing/looking cue, look no further. If you're looking for an investment, consider stocks, bonds, or a CD.

LOL, why would anyone spend over 5k on a cue that isn't going to appreciate in value....
I think a Prewitt would be a great investment IMO...I agree you shouldn't invest your life savings in cues, but I don't think Ed's cues will depreciate anytime soon!
Why not spend over 5k. Who would of thought a Szam or a Balabuska would get the type of money they get.
Ed makes a great playing cue and his work is perfect. I am using one of his cues as my main player right now.
If your looking just to make money on any cue maker and not looking to play with them or collect them then you should not buy cues in this price range.

get real buddy...what percentage of players play with cues over the 5k range as their main players? I am guessing less then 1% or custom cue buyers. Like it or not, any cue over 5k IMO is an investment unless you are wealthy or bad with money.
Some people buy cues because they have a passion for pool, and even greater passion for cues, and they actually don't even CARE about the money. Hell! There are some collectors who buy cues just to say "I've got the biggest, fanciest _______ ever made!"
What you spend on a cue has NO connection to whether or not it will appreciate in value. If the OP is looking for a cue that will yield a profit, perhaps he's putting his money in the wrong market. In today's economy AND today's cue market, there are only one or two 'easy sells'.
:clapping: What Fatboy said mia said...
I don't look for cues as investments...but as something I'll use as a tool to play a game. PJ's don't really appeal to me at all. Just not my cup of tea...
As for Ed Prewitt cues...I don't own one as of now, but he is certainly on my list of must haves...and I'll get one eventually :grin-square:. People that have them speak very highly of his workmanship and playability...so the choice will be up to you...
I'll trade you a dozen Moochi for a Gus.:grin-square:
mmmmmmmmmmmmm moochi
as I see, only the plain janes depreciate, anything with points and inlays go up in value, I've seen really fancy ones sell for more second hand rather than brand new, of course everything is tough to sell right now, but Prewitt cues will be sought after for years to come
