If I had a dollar every time someone tells a story about so and so he knew played so well, he hustled with a broomstick or mop, I'd be rich.
Southwest type cue

I like your posts.
Hell, who needs a Southwest?Broom stick works.
Well that is question many might want to justify.
and you spent over 2K on one cue and had a hard time flipping it because not many wanted to do business with you.
I think I will buy all my cues at Walmart from now on.
Think you are making thing up again.
Think you need a life, maybe you should tell more truths.
Think I might know Cue your talking of, had 6-7 years. That was not a flip 6-7 year in storage.
We had a guy in Phoenix who play well with one of the two piece Budweiser Cue, he did in fairness play with balance, and put on layers tip.
Sill it was Cheap Cue, but guy was skilled player.
You still sold it . That's a flip.
Why did you spend over 2K for a cue then ?
It's the Indian not that arrow.
You should have followed your advice and bought a mop or a cheap sneaky.
I dont discount what you are saying. It can also be possibly he would go up a level or two if he had better equipment.
And, he may have gotten the one out of 100 that had excellent, consistent grain structure. Thats why many insist on custom cues, such as Southwest.
I myself played with a cheap cue at a friends house that played well. I had to put a mark on the shaft and put that mark up every time. If I didnt, I got inconsistent results. It seemed it naturally wanted to flex in only one direction. It took me 2 or 3 visits to figure it out.
When I see SVB, J Filler, N Feijen, J Bergman, and D Appleton using a Budweiser cue in a tournament, I'll sell all my cues and get one myself.

Well if you have skill like say someone who is in last 30 of PGA FEDX Cup this weekend. Yes that better equipment will help fine tune game.
Those 30 are not all playing same Driver, Iorns, and Putters.
Each have their favorite, or get money to play with a certain brand, or get free equipment.
I am sure if the free & money was removed. Then the Pros had to play with what they bought. Still not all would say play with same stuff.
Well in retail companies buy stuff, and resell for profit. Is that flipping, or capitalism.
Hell I am sure the components in a Cue don’t cost much. But I understand Cuemakers has time, utilities,cost of equipment,etc. in each Cue.
Maybe you should sell your Cues for cost, I think not unless you a hobby builder with many good friends. Plus very rich eccentric.
After translating this to English I think I get what you are saying...
but...
There is a massive difference between some dude with budweiser cue playing on a valley in some random shithole in Phoenix and being one of the best players in the world at the US Open.
Give me a Bud cue and a valley in the middle nowhere and I'll look like Efren too lolol.
Well you mention Efren I am sure what ever he plays with now would be in vogue.
When he was just starting out, he played with what you might call a price point Cue.
Most would love to have Efrin’s skill, stroke, and ability.
Can not buy those three things

Coos Cues
I bet you will too. All that broomstick lore is bullshit.
Technically you can. It's the reason coaches exist.Can not buy those three things
Your posts are even dumber on weekends .Well in retail companies buy stuff, and resell for profit. Is that flipping, or capitalism.

Well you are entitled to your opinion, component flipper.
Maybe you did not read, and think. Just read, and reacted before thinking.
Wonder who was Willie Mosconi’s coach? Was not mentioned in Willies World.
