To me that statement is bashing other cue makers.. 2 weeks ago when Shorty made that thread about bluds cue being not hot, everyone jumped on Shorty.. So its ok for blud to bash other cue makers while consumers like us are not allowed to voice our opinion about his cues.... Seems like blud likes to think that he is the best in the business....Puhleeeze...
Thought that I was making that point without truly "bashing anyone. But, you do bring up a good point. There are a lot of cuemakers out there, especially the older, more established, so-called "Master" cuemakers who believe that their way is the only way and the best way to build a cue. I've had cuemakers bash other cuemakers several times, and quite simply, I won't do business with them. I spent a few very enjoyable hours last year with the guy that made my cues, just shooting the bull. That very subject came up and he put it well saying "they all think they're heroes, I don't give a shit", and I agree with him. Now we're seeing some of the top name cuemakers sending most of their work to Japan, and being asked to raise their prices due to the off-shore markets. To me, they are crapping on the players that really got them where they are today. I'll stick with my cuemaker because a) he does great work, b) his prices are more than fair, c) his cues hit great, and d) he communicates with his customer, plus, I just plain like the guy!
