I'm just a little curious. I have heard of people waiting years to get some cue makers cue. There are so many great makers out there today. Why would someone wait 5 years for a cue. If it is just because someone likes the feel of a certain maker's cue? There a retailers out there with cues make from just about every conceivable cue maker. Why not just one from one of these selles? I not saying you are wrong to wait, I'm just curious as to why.
Because nobody builds em like Searing.kaznj said:

I have several cues, but my Searing is never going ANYWHERE. The design of the cue is superb, the execution of the cue is flawless, and the hit is something I cannot even describe. As I was sayin`, it ain`t goin` anywhere.

Does this mean if I bought a Searing, had entered the Shootout last weekend in Phoenix, played only with my Searing, I would have won the Shootout in Phoenix.
I think Will covered the main reasons..... ditto.ibuycues said:I have several cues, but my Searing is never going ANYWHERE. The design of the cue is superb, the execution of the cue is flawless, and the hit is something I cannot even describe. As I was sayin`, it ain`t goin` anywhere.

will never be "Searing-less"
Well according the the Arizona Billiards Info (our local pool rag) that did a pPlayer Profile on Scott Frost, aka The Freezer Playes with a "Falcon Butt with a custom Dale Teague Birdseye Maple Shaft".
Wonder if a Searing could improve his game. I bet not.

Talked to him the other day. He's a gentleman & is building cues for the right reasons, because he loves it & to promote the game the way he knows how. He's a solid A player, to say the least of his ability in play. He's beyond short stop. This gives him insight & knowledge that most other builders don't have. I mean, we all know how to play but Dennis has reached greatness, another league altogether. He's also very bright. He spoke with me about particulars that were nearly above my head, tough to grasp but very enlightening once I could wrap around the concepts. I feel I became a better builder just for speaking to the guy. I'm by no means a kiss ass, but i'm not afraid to give credit where it's due & this guy deserves the credit he's getting. When he's dead & gone & his friends reveal his secrets, he'll be unquestionably known as one of or maybe even the single greatest builder ever. I thought I was doing some cool stuff & making good advancments in cues. The guy's light years ahead of me. Speaking with him was humbling & refreshing & motivating. I'm gonna pay him a visit & learn a thing or two for sure. He reminds me of those really hot girls that don't know how hot they really are, a rare gem. So yeah, he's worth waiting for I think. But everybody has their priorities & sometimes a long wait isn't something they want to do. If you don't mind waiting, he's the one to go after.

No deposit until he gets closer to starting my cue and then we start talking details.
I want a Searing and prefer to have one built to my specs and my design.
Carmeli (fancy) & Carmeli J/B - 6-8 months
Prewitt (super fancy) - 2 years
Searing - 5 years
I will add a couple more and will enjoy getting a new cue about once a year!!
Russ......
I'm surprised Prewitt is only 2 years, based on the price he charges. I will say that his craftsmanship on very fine details (especially with metals) is incredible. One of the first Prewitts I saw was Oscar Dominguez's playing cue, which is absolutely stunning. So to kaznj: sometimes there's a cuemaker that can do something that very few (if any) can. So the wait is worth it. I think Prewitt is up there.
Beyond that, there's often a financial gain in the market. This may have changed in the past couple years, but until recently it was true. Southwest, for example, has a 9+ year wait list and doesn't require any money up front. If you're quoted a price today of $2000 (just an example), then in 2018 when you receive your cue it will most likely be worth more than you were originally quoted ($2K). So when the cue is ready and you pay for it, you can turn it right around and sell it for a profit. I know a friend who placed an order for two Southwests, and did just what I outlined with one of the cues. The profit he made on it allowed him to afford the other without spending any money. Not a bad deal. Just takes patience, and you can have a free Southwest!

Just Send Him The Money............
Are you kidding!!!! All you would have to do is mail your Searing cue to the tournament director in Phoenix with your entry fee and he would send your Searing cue back to you with an envelope bulging with the first place cash.CocoboloCowboy said:Does this mean if I bought a Searing, had entered the Shootout last weekend in Phoenix, played only with my Searing, I would have won the Shootout in Phoenix.
Searing certainly is the hottest maker right now. I heard he selects who can get on his wait list now- like if he thinks you are just a collector going to sell his cue, he won't build it for you. He only builds for players.
Can anyone closer to him confirm this? Thats someone I would like to have build a cue for me.
