Southwest was made famous by Jery Franklin who died, his widow runs office today. Like Santa helpers who are Unknown Cuemaker build, and demand is more then supply.
Kind of like crazy business model.

Southwest Cue Wait

Just received my SW cue in January. Wait was 15 years and 9 months 'ish. Worth the wait!
My new Southwest Cue: Delivered Jan 13, 2021
Hey AZ family, I just wanted to share my new Southwest cue which arrived yesterday. It's flawless! I can't wait to get out this weekend and hit a ball with it. My beautiful BARTON case will finally be put to use. Enjoy the pics! Big thanks to...

The cue is worthy of that gorgeous case.
Thank you.
This is the way.
Getting on the list costs nothing, just a few minutes of a phone call. Laurie is incredibly nice and friendly. A real pro.
Think of it this way: how many of us have been playing the game for at least 15 years? How many of us intend to be involved with pool until our dying day?
If you’re on the fence, get on the list and forget about it. One day you’ll get a phone call and shortly thereafter will get to receive a sweet SW cue.
Or do me a favor - eschew the list and make the wait for mine shorter!
2014 here and in no hurry.
Problem with SW list, some people sell their spot.
If I were Laurie, I'd stop taking requests and just sell finished cues .
She could open an FB group and sell out anyway.
And we have people wondering why SW cues cost so much .
Yet, the price keeps going up year after year .

The other problem is since everyone can get on the list without a deposit, lots of folks have the mindset well it doesnt cost anything I will put my name on the list.

Well I am sure Laurie is doing fine with her business model. She take name, and if person who waited 10 plus days NO. On to next name.
kind of like VW Bugs in 1950’s more demand, then supply. Or the first 240Z Datsun. MSRP + 1500-2000 bucks because people had to have.

I buy used every time if possible. I like to hit it first. NO way i'd wait over maybe a year or two for a cue. So many nice cues on used market.

Take a look at the following picture. This is Yuri. The picture of Yuri on the left was taken the day he got his name on the SW waiting list. The picture of Yuri on the right was taken the day he got his cue.
That is well aged.
15 year wait list and values keep going up, but you have a better sales plan. Gotta love AZ
I am on the list. Figure it will make a nice gift for my Grandson to keep the family tradition going.
That's a fucking lie.
As I said before post up your proof.
It's funny you started bitching about me one year before your cue was due and here you are posting your not bitching about South West being late.

I had one I never hit a ball with it. It was a Jerry Franklin era cue. Took maybe 3 years for it to be delivered. I was out there and I stopped by to get a repair on a cue and next thing I know I ordered one. $265.00 with two shafts. When a few guys knew it was on the way I started getting offers sight unseen. Guy gave me $1000.00 for it.
As mentioned that's bullshit.... You jump on the bandwagon without any proof
Well Laurie doesn’t even quote a price until your number come up. I have zero idea of what a Southwest cost today.
Should find out sometime early “22” when my number comes up.
