Verl Horn cues

peppersauce said:
I have a Verl Horn cue I bought years ago. I saw it at a vendors booth at a big tournament and fell in love with the design, but had no idea who Verl was at the time (and still don't know much about him). After I test hit some balls with the Horn I promptly traded my Schon plus cash to get it. Since then I have hit with three other Verl Horn cues and didn't like any of them. I have also had a couple of people tell me Verl was not generally known for top notch work and I was very lucky to snatch up the one I have. Is there truth to what I've been told about Verl's cues? I just want some well informed input on what kind of quality Verl was known for. Either way, I love my cue and will never sell it. I was just curious. Any input about Verl and his cues would be very much appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Verl was the grandfather of cue making in the central mid west. His cues were very good cues. Everyone has likes and dislikes on hits and looks. Verl's cues had a great finish and his point work was always nice and he gave a lot of ivory for the price. I have a couple in my collection and was thrilled to get them for what I paid. He is in the ICA Hall of Fame and his cues are very collectible yet still affordable.
