Darth said:I owned my first Searing cues ( the first matching jump/break, playing cue combo made by Dennis) from 2003 until I was forced to sell them here on AZ last year because of financial problems. I've been playing for over 40 years and have played at an A level when in my 20's. I play well enough today to understand what 'feedback' feels like when striking a cue ball with a cue stick and a good Moori Quick tip. Dennis' cues have the most perfect 'feedback' I have ever felt in all the years I've been playing. When you hold his cue with a very light grip pressure and accelerate through the cue ball with authority, there is a very 'crisp' feel that is hard to describe. You just know that the cue ball is going to do what you want, when you want. Dennis builds the 'hit' into his cue before he thinks about the eye candy inlays. Rest assured that every cue he builds, from a plain Merry Widow to a lights out $100,000.00 collectors masterpiece will be a 'player' without a doubt. Playing pool at a high level takes so much thinking and concentration. You need to focus so much on every detail of your game that any distraction can be devastating. Having a quality cue in your hand that you 'trust' eliminates a distraction that takes your focus off your shot. I firmly believe that my game won't progress to that high level again until I get another Searing in my hands. That's just my opinion my friends.
Well said!
I am sorry I was the one who benefitted by your circumstances, but I hope you know that your cues are safe and still being played with.
I enjoyed meeting you in Florida and I hope your company is starting to thrive again! I have never sold a Searing but if I ever need to, you will definitely get first right of refusal to get yours back.
Take care!
