Southwest cues

[watchez]

You had better hope that they never go the E-bay Dale Perry route.

When they start building them like crap like a DP, I'll worry bout it. But that won't be happening. I'll keep hanging on to them as part of my Florida Condo fund.

I'm on the list as well. Looking forward to it...

So I joined the SouthWest list today. That should put me at 58 years old when I get my cue! I'm excited. :dance:

I never understood the reason to wait 10 years for a cue that is rather plain in design.
Or why people would pay top dollar for them.
Or why people would pay a premium for someone else's spot for buying one.
Until last Saturday.
A person I know well enough at the pool room has one and I asked if I could hit some balls with it. I got to hit about 10 balls with it. All went in the pocket.
Very impressed with the hit and balance.
I would do none of the above but I understand it now.

I've wanted one for 20 years. I finally bought a used one from a collector. What an over priced piece of lumber. I tried for 6 months to get used to what I call a horrible hit. Then I bought a 1991 JossWest, radial pin. OMG I was in heaven on the first his. I couldn't wait to gat rid of that SW lumber stick.

How a cue plays and feels is subjective. I've hit with many, many hundreds of cues in my life, including cues by most of the elite and coveted cue makers, and I have never found one that felt as good to me as the Mottey that I play with. I have no doubt that someone else could hit with my cue and think it feels like a piece of crap.

Motteys are awesome. He is known more now for his super fancy cues but they hit super nice IMO as well.

South West cues are like Rolex watches...often imitated and but never replicated. They're pricey and some can afford to have them, some cannot.

One of the most stable priced cues ever produced.

There's a reason why people use the term. "Hits like a South West"

I can get a Casio watch that tells the same time and is right twice a day for a whole lot less than a Rolex.

dinosaurs, the manufacturer and their customers

unless you're collecting, you don't see young players nor pros seeking out sw's

for many Asian players, SW cues are The Holy Grail.

there are def a few pros here in the US using sw cues. I think we don't see more because they get sponsorship deals with other brands.
