Well the intent of this thread was simple info gathering, not bashing. So far I think the count of customers who've heard nothing since KV's latest promise to customers who have been contacted is 3 to 1.
I'm not surprised it's become a "bashing" thread as the handful of KV supporters flock with their illogical arguments that those of us unhappy with KV's services then refute and voila, it's a bashing thread.
I think these threads are very useful, as it does serve to help others decide which cuemakers to go with and which to avoid. One issue I've had with AZBilliards in my short time here is it often seems as though everyone is scratching everyone else's back all the time.
With very rare exceptions, there's hardly a bad word said about anyone or any cue--every cue is lights out, fantastic, yadda yadda. And of course one reason is that everyone is buying and selling cues and to disparage a cue is to disparage a buddy or to hurt your own cue's resale value. So it doesn't happen.
My contributions to these threads hurts myself, too. I have a spot in KV's line that I probably could have sold pretty quickly a month ago, but now I can hardly get a response. If I get the cue rather than a refund then its resale value will be hurt significantly if KV is no longer a "hot" name. I just feel it's better for people to know what's going on rather than keep a fake smile on my face for all passerbys while I fume on the inside.
