Can someone tell me what they think of Samsara cues as far as hit goes? To what other cues would you compare their playability? I love their design aesthetic but have'nt had the opportunity to play with one, and I am reluctant to buy based on looks alone.

I had a $1,600 one. I would suggest you play with one before plunking down your money. They do look very nice!!
Don :cool:
This is not to say you wouldn't love it.
 
Their stock shafts are very stiff. If you like it stiff, you'll like their shafts.
Very well-executed points and inlays.

Samsara cues art is most definitely distinctive and their cues play awesome! :cool:
 
I have a Samsara cue and really like the hit of the cue. I have played with many types of cue, but am not sure what I would compare the hit too. I do agree that the shafts are stiff and just take a little getting use to.

I was thinking about selling the cue, but decided to hold on to it because I am just use to it and I think it is an amazing cue - I have seen no cue maker fade there points into the wood like Dave and Jim do.

Oh, and another reason why I am happy with the cue is because Jim was nice enough to replace a shaft that had a hairline crack in it free of charge...that just shows that they stand behind their product and care about their customers...
 
Wish I could tell you how they hit, but they are definate works of art. One of the most beautiful cues I have seen.

Thanks for the opinions, I guess I will have to try one out. If you want to see how distinctive Samsara's designs can get, check out these wild cues: http://www.samsaracues.com/gallery2.htm

Those cues are wild. But, one must question, with that much glue and inlay in them, is there any reasonance left in the cue?
I prefer a simpler one with regular points and some inlays. I don not like inlaying a cue up to a point where it becomes pieces glued together.
But, if one likes hanging a cue on the wall and admiring it, those look pretty.
