If the technology continues to go forward, it would a great thing to be able to
get a replacement shaft that's is extremely close to the one you have. The
weight the flex, the taper, etc. and would play and feel the same as your
other one. No two wood shafts are the same no matter who the builder.
When you have a tip replaced the second shaft feels plays and hits differently.
As far as be over priced, look at the price of some custom cue builders.
Searing, Black Boar, and others charge and get astronomical prices for even
plain cues, some with no points. Do they play better than other cues ? If not
what are you getting for that much, the plain ones look no better than a $ 450
cue. Why do so many pool players change cues so often. I guess it's not because
of the way it plays but for the same reasons we get new cars and clothes,etc.
we just want something different. It's fun to get a new cue that looks good or
even one you designed yourself. I've done this so many times I can't count.
and It arrives and I hate the way it hits or plays. It would be great to be able
to order a cue from any builder and specify the taper, weight, size,etc and
it be dead on. That is not possible with wood shafts. I played some with a REVO
and liked the way it played, but was not crazy about the sound or feel. Maybe
that will be addressed as that seems to be the biggest drawback for a lot of
people who have tried them. I have heard that the BeCue has a very solid hit.
