If you like it, buy it. If you don't then move on, but nobody has a right to judge and tell someone how to do business. Your time would be better used focusing on yourself and trying to improve your own situation, but for some, their time is better spent pointing fingers.
It's funny how some people think they can control someone else's life. Let nature take it's course. If Unity Cues has a good product and a good business, they will last in the long run. Only time will tell, and we should all be respectful of this process because after all, we're just people, not God.

Ok the cats outta the bag...
Its a joint collaboration between Eddie Wheat and Eason. You guys just had to go and ruin it.

ps: I can see mia and guy's points.. if I was on a 2 year waiting list and the cuemaker was "moonlighting" making other cues, I would definately see myself getting a bit peeved.

So I guess you don't want Unity Cues to post up a picture of themselves like you wanted everyone else to do eh ?

My only issue is that it may be someone that I've owned a cue from in the past and didn't like the way it played, or it just may be someone I really didn't want to give money do. Maybe it was a prior experience or whatever...
Honestly, I don't care. It's not a cue I'm looking for, but if it were, I wouldn't buy one because I want to know who made what I'm buying.
The journey is half the fun.
And if I DID have a cue on order from them and was told it would be a year or more to deliver my cue while he's pumped out 40 Unity cues, I'd cancel the order.
<-- growing tired of "the cue game"...

I personally am so tired of whiny GD crybabies, pouting, *****ing and moaning because they can't get their way! If the Three Stooges want to build and sell cue sticks on a street corner and call them MM&L (Manny, Moe & Larry) cues, as long as they're not infringing on some legal name. It's their business. If one doesn't like their marketing plan, THEN DON'T BUY ONE! Their way of marketing may, or may not, be the best way, but it's their way for now, so BUTT THE HELL OUT!
If you own a Unity cue, then you know where you got it! If you need a shaft or a weight bolt, simply contact the person from whom you purchased the cue, or, AS A LAST RESORT (duh!) PM Unity Cues! They back up their products 100 %. The guy making all the noise even states that it is a "decent" cue. He KNOWS that is is a UNITY Cue, and, if he decides to sell it, he can say "IT'S A UNITY CUE".
I personally own two of the Unity Cues, and frankly, choose these cues over my more expensive collection.
Anyone that I have spoken with,or read of their experiences with these cues have nothing but good reports on their quality and play. When and if ANYONE HAS A NEGATIVE TO REPORT, then, and only then will you have a right to infringe on THEIR BUSINESS CHOICES! Until then, drop the subject. Poll all you wish, only they can change their practices.

I've got a Unity cue coming this week, I've seen the pictures and have had great communication from Nate at Unity..
As far as who is making the cues, Nate never gave me a clue but I've got a pretty strong idea who is making the cues, it does not matter to me. As long as the cue plays well and looks as good as the pictures do, I have no problem..
Think about it this way, do the buyers of Meucci, McDermott or many other cues list exactly who made the cue?? I don't think so, nor do I care.
As long as the cue is of quality and it's backed, I'm ok with it. If I spent a lot more, it may be more important but it looks like I'm getting a whole lot of cue for a great price. Will know more once the cue is in hand.

Good response MOJOE! You as a buyer will have earned the right to appreciate or dislike the cue purchased. You are familiar with your distributor, and, should a problem arise, know that the problem will be resolved.
After you receive your cue, and have played with it a few days, please post a subjective statement rating the quality of your cue, it's playability, delivery, etc.
Personally, I love my Unity Cues, and if I had a goodly amount of money, I'd buy them all and make a nice fat profit on them, because they're worth a hell of a lot more than they're being sold for!
By the way, if I offended anyone in my previous post by using a word that started with "B", meaning chronically complaining, I apologize. I thought that that word used in that respect was listed in the dictionary.

First off... no one here is voicing their dislike of the CUES. I haven't said that Unity Cues play like crap. Not at all. I've never played with one. They may play great. They may be the best playing cues ever. But this discussion isn't about the cues. Its about how they are being marketed and sold that people are discussing here. As a potential buyer, each and every one of us has a right to voice our opinions on HOW someone tries to sell us something.
I'm glad you like your Unity Cues. Given your taste in cues, it makes sense that you like the way they play. I might love them too. They may play incredibly well. But I'll never know unless someone else buys one and lets me try theirs because... I won't spend money on a cue that is made by a 'mystery' figure/figures. That's what the issue being discussed here is. Given the results of the poll so far, I'm FAR from alone.
Either way, I'm glad you enjoy yours.
Wow, I forgot about that thread Dave.... it's nice to see that again. If there was anyone with any memory at all of what goes on here on AZ, you're it. The next time I can't find something I'm gonna ask you to dig it up for me.
This thing about Unity Cues..... maybe I would like to know who they are, but honestly, it doesn't bother me enough to cry about it to the whole world. I will never buy one of their cues anyway, and I can respect the fact that they want to do business this way. At the moment, they are getting a lot of attention, and I haven't heard one bad thing about their cues.
Just let the cat out of the bad that Showman and Searing are teaming up for this venture and you will instantly have a 20 year wait list.
A Showman/Searing cue for $300-400? I'll take 10...and thank you.
The price they are selling for is the same as an average priced production cue so who cares who makes them. Let the product stand on it's on merits.
But if they were $500 or more -yes I would like to know who makes them.
Because at that price point there are a lot of options to buy from known makers.

Hi Mia. I'm not trying to sell anything here, however, because I KNOW what I've got with my Unity Cues, I feel as if I owe the AZ community the opportunity to know what I know. There are people who will NEVER buy one of these cues, simply because they're "CHEAP". "If a cue doesn't cost $5000, then it's not worth having". You know what I'm saying here.
I believe I read a post from Unity that states that IF one wants to try a Unity Cue for 30 days, simply pm them, pay for the shipping, and they will ship one out. What more can one do to put a product out on the market? Knock down the price of a custom made cue to that of a production cue, offer 100% satisfaction, and offer a "30 day free trial". And, in doing so, one might just find out who the builders are (?).
Mia, thank you for your response. If you are a serious pool player, and appreciate quality workmanship, consider TRYING one these cues.
I have nothing to do with Unity, I'm just an (old) pool player from Central California, who has found something worth sharing. Whether you or anyone else on here wishes to try one or not is up to them. Unity's marketing methods may not be the best (as we might think) but it's their way, for now.
Have a great day, and, if you go to Vegas in May for BCA, perhaps we'll "SEE YA ON THE TABLES".

Here is an update for all of those interested in a review of a Unity cue..
I ordered a purpleheart Unity cue, cork wrap, special taper, 1/2" ferrule and I sent them my Onyx tip that I wanted installed..
Received the cue and have practiced with it for several hours and am personally blown away.. Just as a tidbit of info, I've shot with nearly every cuemaker out there from Lucasi to Southwest, Hercek, Madded, Haley, etc.. etc.. Have never played with the old school cues like Szamboti or Bushka but nearly everything else.
I'd rate the playability of my Unity as a very good fit for me.. I've been playing with a Madden with a special tapered shaft for several years and had no issues switching to the Unity.. It plays jam up as far as I am concerned.
I also ordered a 10" extension that screws into the butt of the cue, which is very nice. The only down side is I have to remove the rubber bumper to insert the extension, which is very inconvenient. I did not specify so it's probably my fault as much as anyone's. The best part about this is I gave them feedback and they agreed to make a new extension that will fit into the bumper. How's that for customer service. Top notch.
I feel that I got a ton of cue for the money. Don't care who made the cue, the cue was made by a professional, that is for sure. The rings are very nice, the shaft is tapered perfectly for me and the cue rolls perfectly straight.
If the idea that not knowing really gets under your skin, don't buy one. I have no idea who makes half of the cues out there and many cuemakers have an apprentice that do a lot of their work, which they don't advertise so what's the big deal.
I can't say whether they should or should not tell who the makers are, that is their call.
I received a quality cue at a steal of a price, I'm happy. Nuf said!
They will get referrals from me and more business in the future. Great job Unity and thanks a bunch.

I have a hunch these cues are going to be one of the most sought-after cues for $300.
Just wanted to say that so when people search for Unity Cues 3 years from now, I joined Mojoe in saying so before it was "cool."

I asked Jim Pierce. He said that he is not one of the Unity Cues guys.
