Production cue quality?

[JacobyToby]

Which top selling production cues have the worst quality after 10 years of normal use. What was the issue?

The only top production cues that I have for over 10 years are my two Schons and a Jacoby, all are just great as day one.
I do have a few custom cues that warped and some finish issues after sitting in their cases for over 15 years.

Eddie Wheat Cues are junk.

I have 2 Schons that are over 20 years old, good as new.

Eddie Wheat Cues are junk.

Doesn’t sound very production like

Any problems would be on the owner. Good cue is NOT going to go bad in 10yrs.

I have a 16 year old Cocobolo Lucasi cue that gets a lot of play.
The finish looks like new and it's still straight.

I have playing with my Joss for 15-16 years and it is as solid as day 1

I have a Schon cue that was completed in early 1985 by Bob Runde. It’s straight and nary a single issue with how
gorgeous the finish still looks today. So that cue is 40 years old and still looks amazing. I have a Palmer cue, my 1st
pool cue, from the late 60’s and the only thing I had to do was change the linen wrap that eventually frayed. The Schon
cue has Cortland Linen wrap and it’s still in great condition since it’s Cortland and is practically irreplaceable nowadays.

Hard to answer... however I bought a Meucci MO4 with the pill bumper... Way after 10 year the butt has an obvious warp. But please do not judge Meucci by my experience.
If I thought the cue could be restored to original I would have it done. Would buy a new shaft also. I had the original reduced to 12mm
