Most of us thought the same thing lol and then 20 years later we have a list of 20 "forever cues" that we no longer have. Try as many as you can, life is short.

I would recommend keeping a cue for a while before you sell if you find another forever cue - most of us have regrets because we sold the old cue too quickly and wish we had it back.

I am pretty sure that's my inventory for life. I might just replace them if they break or something like that. I believe I have the best product so it's up to me to get the best performance from them.

I have shot the same competition trap gun for the last 15 years. Liked it so much that I bought a used one as backup. It's a Krieghoff K80 trap special. Don't ask the price of it 😁
 
Rocket cue. Chicago area.
Brass joint $20 new 1965
Rich $$ friend mine dad was an MD, got a New Rambow Cue/points + fully loaded inlays for $80

I've also had the below ones in my youth, made new for me.

Zamboti 1976, leather wrap 3 shafts/ivory
Kirshenbrock, no wrap 2 shafts/ivory.
Viking/linen/ wo the super joint
Heubler/linen wrap 2 shafts/ivory
Kikel/3 shafts/ivory/linen wrap

I started playing about 4 years ago and fell in love with the game. I tried or owned Players, McDermott, Lucasi, Joss, and Meucci. I experimented with linen, leather, and no-wrap cues. I finally figured I preferred no-wrap cues, and when I played my first Pechauer Pro series I found what I'd been looking for and that's what I use now. I understand they were all fine and I was probably too picky, but it's my main hobby and I wanted to play around until I found just the right thing for me.

Almost like reading my story. Started five years ago. Tried out a bunch of different cues. Fell in love with a Pechauer wrapless. I did switch it out with a Pechauer linen wrap ( helped with sweaty hand) I use today. They just feel right to me.
