Dennis: There are not many people in the bars where I played league that ever even heard of SW and they think cues are worth about $20... anybody that paid $100 for a cue is nuts. That's where I was taking my then $2000 SW. It got beat up, picked up by idiots, kicked a few time by drunks, and before it got really hurt I retired it and got it refinished.
I'm glad there are people where you play that can appreciate great cues. You have quality pool venues to play in. Billiards On Main has raised the bar considerably for us poor folks out here in the sticks, but BOM came around well after I had retired that SW.
