Hey All,
Someone had asked a similar question a while back. I'm asking it again with a little bit of a spin. Almost every time I watch the pro's on TV they change cues. So I suppose this leads me to a two part question;
1. When to retire a cue?
2. I'm going to assume most people here have multiple cues, both custom collectable, and your regular player/players. How often are you supposed to "rotate" playing cues? - Is it a "mood thing" or are you actually supposed to rotate playing cues just to get them out of the case to "breath" some and hit balls?
I know there are cues to buy and hold on to those collector items (Gus, Balabushka, etc) that have had well known owners in the past, so we will exclude those.
For those with Ivory handled and VERY ornate/expensive cues - Ever take them out to play with or do you just leave them locked up?
Just curious to see what kind of feedback this gets. Please share any and all opinions.
I don't think I would ever retire the Gina that's my usual player, I have a "bond" with that cue, but I have another Gina in the works along with a Prewitt and I figured that I would have to take the other two out and play with them at the very least on occasion.
