Worst Cue by a Revered Builder.

Did Zinzola pull the health card too. Or am I mistaken? I think the guy I referenced w the jigs did.

Tony & the Tickler Story were reason I said what I said............Tony was dumb, presenting crapo Cue to Tickler for good money.

Can I get this in English?
What is the Tickler story?

It’s a device women use for… oops different one! Sorry Skor, I couldn’t pass it up!

I was surprised to hear that even the greats do shoot a blank here or there. What do you think the reason is? I’m thinking the wood is the answer but I’d leave that to, Eric of Sugartree. I he knows more about wood species than most and he has family in WI because he offered to deliver a cue when he was visiting dear hunting. I didn’t pull the trigger, I’m priced out now.

This post is so confusing.

Feel free to ask if my lack of detail distracts my point. I was surprised in another thread how many noted cue builders delivered a dud player. I also do believe Eric at Sugartree is a wood savant. Zylers protege too, I’m drawing a blank.

Ugly or poor builds?

Very poor build quality on the one I saw. The finish on the butt was terrible and the shaft was so rough it was practically unusable.

I purchased a big wrap less segmented handle cue from a very well-known Maker. It was flat out beautiful, perfect execution, finish, every single detail of the cue was flawless. It hit like a brick, zero feel, no feedback, I tried 8-10 different tip and ferrule combinations on it to try and like it, but I failed. Someone saw a picture of it, offered crazy money, and I gladly sent it down the road. Brian.

Ugly or poor builds?

Sort of like food seasoning……his cues really needed a little more salt and a lot less Pepper.

Are we children? It doesn’t meet your expectations of paying 2-3k plus? I swear this site has lost any intelligence. Honestly my knowledge isn’t worth even posting to morons, who could care less about history, collectors, builders and the rest of what makes us non predator players appreciate our tools! Last post, I’m out.

well you did call it dear hunting in OP. You could have posted some of this in OP and we would understand what you are getting at.

Some woods warp more often than others no matter you do. Snakewood is beautiful but tends to crack. If it does, I wouldnt blame the builder.
