How much would you pay for a SP cue that was brand new and built with the specs you wanted?
How many cue makers would want to launch a SP cue project in 2023 with only a limited # of cues?
I think it would be cool to see a SP cue project on Az like the days bygone. The tribute cues that Dean
promoted were entertaining and interesting to follow on Az. Why not a stepped down version with SP
cues? Heck, if Schmelke Cues wanted to offer this with a limited run, their SP cues are so inexpensive
what could they build in the way of a SP cue for $400-$500? Is there a cue maker out there that wants
to garner some attention, IMO, this is an easy way to accomplish that and also make a little money too.
So how much would you spend, assuming this appealed to you, for a SP cue built to your specs, i.e.,
butt weight and shafts? If this were to actually happen, what number of SP cues should be in a limited
production run? Keep in mind it has to be worth a individual cue maker’s time. So maybe 12, 25 or even
50 SP cues (one for every state) released in two series of 25 each. If the 1st series wasn’t a big hit, the 2nd
series wouldn’t ever happen. But if the first one was popular, then let people who missed out get another
chance at getting a limited edition SP cue. It’s important that the project have a finite number of pool cues.
Where are all the ambitious cue makers that might want to undertake this? Years from now when I am not
around, these cues will still exist and people will ask…..Hey, where’d you get a Garten Bierbower SP cue,
or maybe Eddie Cohen? Like I originally posted, I wish I had done this when my pal, Jerry Rauenzahn, was
still active. This would have been a fun project but the cues likely would have been more like at least a grand,
and likely more. It was because the 360 design was the SP cue design we were discussing instead of points.
