So I bought a super cheap sneaky pete just because I was gonna use it as a spare for for when the wife comes out to play pool (very obscure) I founds this one http://http://www.thepoolhustler.com/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=162&osCsid=965da0aaacda545ecd11d0fb28cf488a and bought it, well it got here today and WOW what a POS! Problem #1 the site says it has a quick release joint.......nope it has a 5/16x18 pin which is no biggie. Problem #2 at the bottom of the butt theres an indent and #3.... the butt is warped!!
I rolled the cue on the floor and allmost pooped myself when I seen the thing roll and wobble. I know its a cheap cue but thats no the point, the point is when you sell something and say "Our precision-crafted custom brand of custom billiard cues are made of only the highest-quality hand-picked Canadian-Maple, and checked 5 times against exacting standards to ensure you a quality product.

This Genuine Hustler pool cue is guaranteed to be straight as arrow and provide you superior feedback during play." and you send out a POS thats just not right at all. I sure as hell wouldnt send this out to any one or send out anything without double checking it. I sent them an email but I can guess there response will be "send it back and we will send you a new one" thats fine and all but I'll be out 2 time the shipping (once for them shipping it to me and re-shipping it back to them) and that to me anyways is just not right. Sorry for the rant people but I had to vent and my 5yo isnt home to listen :)

Really??? Just what did you expect from a $30 cue? If you want a quality product you have to pay for it. There's no way anyone could make a quality cue for under $30. Sorry you felt burned but you should have seen it coming.
 
In my experience, if something seems to good to be true, it is. That said, there are a million companies out there just waiting to sell us junk. Just because someone has a website, doesn't mean they have a good product. I know you're upset because you were sent a product that was not to the specifications of the description, nor was it up to the standards of any reasonable expectations, and that's very understandable. However, you'll find yourself much more satisfied if you buy from a reputable seller from now on.

Something tells me that this company isn't exactly going to move the earth to stand behind its products either. I wish you luck in getting your money back.
 
I wouldn't even consider cutting a house cue in half and putting a pin and insert in for you at that price.
But I can sympathize, no one likes to make a purchase and be disapointed in the outcome. I'm sure we've all had a similar experience at one time or another.

I wasn't expecting anything but what was described, am I wrong for that?
 
if you believe these type of marketing claims for this small ammount of money bought online hmmm....

It sounds like they are selling seconds, can you imagine a second coming from China!!!!!!:eek: now that is some scary shit when you consider that most of their first quality cues in that price range are not much better.

Well, you get what you pay for as sad is that is, next time do a little research before buying on-line it will save you the headache.

Live and learn or repeat your mistake forever!!!!!!:smile:
 
I would send it back and insist that they send me a new one and they should pay the postage. They probably won't, but it doesn't cost anything to try. The ad you quoted sounded good to me but as others pointed out, spending a little more and buying from a reputable seller is a better way to go. Sorry for the problems you're having. Almost seems like to can't trust anyone these days.

I emailed them but am not expecting much, I'll just put a rock hard tip on it and use it as a breaker.

Im happy for you, how would you feel if one of your tips came to you and it was an elk master? The price is not the point, the point is how ****ing shady people are.

Yeah I feel for you. Too many places on the internet are shady. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Hope everything turns out.

Thanks and its only $50 all together so I guess I got a cheap break cue lol.
It just pisses me off that stuff like this happens. $50 might not be alot to some but a lot to others, what if some kid only had a super tight budget and wanted to take up pool, found that site and bought that cue?? Wouldn't you that might turn him off from pool? Maybe I got all worked up over nothing, then again maybe I didnt.
