Wanted: Cue For Girl Specs: Pretty and Playable.

Donald A. Purdy said:
Hey Zack, I fixed it man. That be $4,000. I will buy the steak and lobster dinner. That be one nice looking cue you got there.
Purdman

What about the KY, you buying that too?! With that deal I'd need some...lol. I love my cue and I can't wait to see how the next cue Skip is working on for me comes out! I also have a custom Gilbert J/B and an ER coming that I'll be proud to show some pics of when they come in.
 
Donald A. Purdy said:
I got an ER comming too. You heard from Edwin lately?
Don P.

You won't need no KY buddy. Big Wally's best days have come and gone. I am 55. They asked Bob Hope what it was like having sex at 90. He said it was like playing pool with a rope. I think I know what he meant!

Lmao...that was a great quote.

I actually did hear from Edwin and he said that he's going to be coming to the states in July so I would assume that we'd all be getting our cues sometime shortly thereafter.
 
This is my last responce to you. I have said nothing that resembled a negative comment to you. I read alot of your posts and if you like to waste your time chiming in with cutesy things and trying to play headgames with someone genuinly looking for information that is your business. You will not waste anymore of my time.

Don't get so defensive because I said I might not like your "real" cue, believe me, I will not be the only one. There are many different people liking many different types of cues in this world. I have met guys who did not Gina, Southwest...etc...If you want to defend your buddy everytime someone says something about his cues, you will get more than frustrated real soon...
For the record, I never said I did not like your cue; I have never tried it so I don't know. I seriously doubt if it will be on my top ten list; nonetheless, I had never tried it so it is possible. I did not attack this buddy of yours whom you love to promote every chance you get.

When someone jumps up saying How much the like thier new Andy Gilbert, or Skip Weston i don't make it a point to specify that it is actually not the nicest cue i have ever seen. I try and keep my posts POSITIVE and not argumentative. Not everyone has to like it. How can you seriously DOUBT it will not be in your top ten. Are foster cues low grade? I Here nothing but positive things from people using them, and i form my own opinions based on practical application or trial and error.


Tiffpoolbum said:
Anyway, in this case, you do not want to support your buddy's cues...you are looking to get a cheap cue off the Internet, and you do not even want to put in the time to find one yourself--that is why you started this thread. Am I right?

Tiff<--no idea why he felt he was in the "peckerwood asshole catergorie looking to get laid"

No of course I'm not looking to support my friend, anyone with grade 3 reading ability can read that i stated i support his WELL PLAYING CUES, not the man himself. I have friends that do manufacture things that i think are lousy products and other people think god dropped these products from the sky, do i promote them? NO. I am an honest person. If someone tells me they wanna spend $150 i don't tell them No, Fpster is the only option. Foster is not even my only option. Just because i support a product does not make it the ONLY PRODUCT. My constant Plugging for Doug may skew other people views of my INTENTION, but i assure you i am a CUE fan and a FOSTER fan. Are cue collectors only allowd to sell collect and promote thier Favorite Cuemaker? Am i doing an injustice not trying to UP someones cue budget 266%? I'm sorry, but i see no reason for you attacking me other than this F*&%ing post here. My intent: Show how childish, unattentive, and confrontational you CHOOSE to be. Please don't bother me with any more of your BULLS*&T.

EDIT: One more thing i forgot to mention. Girls can play POOL well! Better than men? Sure lots of them can. I am not challenging your ability to play or hers. It was probably a poor selection of words to make a Man cue Girl Cue comparrison and for that im sorry. I lose/win just as well with both genders, i base my expectations and dissapointments on skill level not gender.

Fxskater,

I do know where you are coming from. I was just razzing you a bit...lol. To be perfectly honest, I have not hit with all that many different types of cues. I have played with Dufferin, Mali, Huebler, Meucci, Bludworth (few hits), Dale Perry, Andy Gilbert, and Skip Weston. I ordered my first Skip solely on hearsay and aesthetics! For my money, a cue has to hit well and be pretty at the same time. However, for the type of money that I'm paying, or have paid, I would expect the good hit to be a given...lol.

I know what you meant, somehow i can judge intent better with male posters. I love the ribbing as much as anyone, but be careful i can Dish em with the best.
 
$150 cue

I would think that you would try a Dufferin cue. They have some nice 2 peice cues in that price range. There really isn't much out there worth anything at that price. Perhaps I could wholesale you a Lucassi.

How can you actually tell who is male or female on the internet unless they actually post their name or come strait out and say, "Hey, I'm a chick." (<-see Drivermaker, I'm no feminist, lol)??? :confused: Even then how do you know they aren't lying??? :confused:

You asked a question, I responed...did I call you any name, did I say any of your post is B&*(shi*? I cannot see why you get so defensive other than the fact that i said i do not personally like you so-called "real" cue. Do I have to like it? You remind me of Fast Larry... ;)

Have you seen a skip? I remember your post in the jumping cue section. Everyone was saying how they liked their jacoby, or Jerry Jerico...then you posted and you started by say, "you are all wrong"...then you went on and basically said that a forster is the best, period... I can look up the post and put a link for you to refresh your memory. It seems very inconsistent with what you are saying here about you not jumping up...

fxskater said:

If you seriously believe "not everyone has to like it," then why are you so mad that i said i doubt if I would...(I did not say I didn't like it, I just said i doubt if I would...)

Because I have tried so many cues and my top ten list is full. Once again, why are you so offended, I am not trying to dismiss or belittle your buddy here...relax, will you?

i doubt if I will like his cue, but that does not mean i am saying he is bad or inferior. I like Gina, Cognoscenti, Ed Prewitt, Southwest, Mike Bender, Szamboti, Tim Scruggs, Skip, Black Boar, Perry, Paul Drexler, Layani, Krensenbrook...etc...tell me where I should put your buddy'd name...will you just calm down, and relax?

fxskater said:

Did I say it is low grade? Did anyone say it is low grade? I do not know what grade it is, like I said, I have never seen one...Is that OK that someone outside of your 15000 town has never seen a Forster cue, and do not care much to see it?


fxskater said:

If you can read so well, could you please point out to me where did I say "support your friend"--I said in my post,"you are not looking to support your buddy's cues here..." it is right in your quote, just a line above what you typed about grade three reading ability...

Again, when did i attack you? Did i call your post a F%^&*(ng post? Did I call you childish, unattentive, and confrontational, or call you post a waste of my time and a bunch of Bull&*(t? Like you have to me?

Can you just relax?

I know that. You are welcome to challenge my ability BTW... :D

I was trying in all honestly to help you. I tried to tell you not to assume anything and to talk to your friend to find out what she likes...

I tried to tell you to take it easy when someone is not crazy about this forster cue as much as you do...because seriously, you can't make everyone like you, or your buddy, or his cues...and you got so offended that you had to call me names...

O well...too bad I wont be coming to your part of town in the near future. Since i do not like to waste my time either, if I ever come by, I will PM you so you can get your money ready and I will play you a few sets. Will the eight ball be enough of a spot for you?

I live in a small town of around 15,000 and run all the local bar tournaments. There is a girl that has been playing that barely played before and is making it to the top 4 in 12 to 16 person tournamnts about 50% of the time. She has never played much but she has asked me to find her a cue. She is not the usual dits and although she wants something 'Pretty' she wants it to be very playable. I told her i could probably find something for around $150 CDN, thinking around $125 USD including shipping could get a decent cue off ebay. By pretty she wasn't talking about nice inlays or points, something with a nice decal would be fine as long as it was very playable. I looked and it doesnt seem Viking, McDermott, Falcon, etc have anything that would fit the bill. Mcdermott has 'The Shadow' but its a little high. Although this girl is beautiful, pool interests are in my heart here, not love interests. I wanna see every person on the planet holding a cue and playing 60 hours a week, and I'll do it one person at a time. She has a very high interest in the game. When i got her a Dufferin in decent shape for $40 cdn she said she would rather pay $150 and get something nice that will last her and play well, telling me 'I really wanna get into pool and play way more, my dads getting a home table.... etc etc..' trying to convince me of how serious she was.

What can you guys recommend? Ebay links would be great if there is anything on ebay right now.

This type of thing is out of the question.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=21212&item=7148766497&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

It looks cheesy, its got a Cane Joint (thats what i call em) and it probably plays like shit.

I'm Only looking for GOOD PLAYING 'pretty' cues.


Check out the Fury line of cues. Good cue. Hits solid. Good price. The price depends on whether there are decals or inlays. They start around $115 (retail)and have some very nice ones that ladies seem to like. If you need to contact them check out their website at www.sterling-gaming.com. Any questions feel free to contact me. I own KBP Fury Amateur 9-Ball tour. 877-328-7449. I'll be glad to help you.

Yes, AND it was her idea to get a pool table 10 years ago to keep the teenagers in the house a bit more ! Of course that didn't work, and it had nothing to do with me chasing them off ... honest !

Dave

PS, to keep this on-thread a bit, fxskater have you considered suggesting a sneaky pete to this girl ? I think they are pretty. Dufferin Shadows are less than $100 Canadian and play very well (stiff as hell, they have a pretty constant taper in the shaft like a one piece house cue).
 
This is 'GIRL PRETTY" for me... I won't be caught dead playing with it though :D
