What Cues And Why ?

I don't know anything about those high dollar cues ya'll a talking about. All I know is that I have wanted a Palmer Custom Cue since I was 21 years old when I saw the first one in 1965. Now that I am old and gray and drawing a monthly check from Uncle Sam and still working and can afford one. I got lucky and won one on and Auction. A third catalog # 17. The one Chris showes on is Website with the dots in the collors. It shoots great and I will not part with it for anything.

My Model M from the 2nd catalog is one I can't part with. Not because I like the hit, I don't.
But hell, I bought it new & that's my name in the foil under the window.

Back then I was in the Navy. A Model M would have been 4 months pay.

I paid $125, 2 shafts, and case. A buddy got a sweet deal if he bought two, so he pressured me into it.
Seriously, I was very reluctant to pay that much for a cue.
 
From my perspective, everything has a price. But it is quite unlikely that anybody would offer me enough to part with my Schick. I am also pretty sure I would not get enough to part with the Szamboti. No way would I sell both. I feel fortunate every time I play with either cue.
 
Pool cues

Hello,
I would really like to tell my choice. Pool Cues should have the perfect weight and length. I prefer Predator Cues, as they add glamour to my game because there looks are very trendy and the different features i.e. a hard tip, shaft, ferrule and rings. Thank you for uploading this forum post.
 
I can certainly appreciate a lot of the sentiment in the replies about cues that have been owned for a long time. I was 18 in the service when I bought my Viking for 80 bucks, and in 72 that was a ton to shell out. But I think the reason I would never sell it has to do with the times and memories we share, almost like an old friend. I've since acquired a few cues,and after searching for that magic hit, settled for decent player. I sometimes wonder if I'll ever pick up that cue that will just beg me to own it. I can only hope. Thanks for the replies.

My Murrell will never be for sale. Beautiful cue, and it has a phenomenal hit/feel.
