My friend told me his friend didn't take good care of his cue (no cue case, no cue oil, no nothing). If he did, the CHEAP CUE would still survive now.

    I think you misunderstood, I never imply that cheap cue don't last, my meaning was the probability of a more expensive or a cue from a more experienced cue maker
    lasting longer than a cheaper cue is higher for the simple reason that the timber are better prepared, better stress treatment of timber and by comparison you would have a smaller chance of a "seasoned timber" cue warping compared to its cheaper mass produced rivals...

    clearly if you are lucky to get a 50 pounds cue that never warped, and a ferrule that have been fitted "properly", and all the joints and splicing are done right with the right glue, then there's no reason it won't last you a life time, but are you feeling lucky?

            2 more from Omin. Free Service stands for 5 days

            Got in 2 more for your kind interest. If you want to invest in a good cue, consider this as next year price will go up some 15-20% due to higher cost of woods

            Climax : 57in., 17.6 oz., Balance at 16", 9.8mm Tip, Butt 29mm. Asian Wood "MaRid", with nice many small arrows as pattern. Custom Climax Badge. Medium Weight Balance. SOLD. Thank you very much

            Union : 57"., 17.4 oz., Balance at 18", 9.8mm Tip, Butt 29.5mm. Laos Burl Wood, Imported Maple & Ebony splices. Custom Union Badge. More Weight Forward Balance. SOLD. Thank you very much

            Free Length adjustment. Offer stands for 5 days. Cues are sent back to showroom for private sales. May go in a few days.
            PM me for best costs and airdelivery.

            Not that outstanding arrows/lines beauty, but the shafts are of the best playing quality. Finished Cues are 'cold temperature' tested, and they will last a very long time if properly cared of.

            Another fine cues for a nice 'Christmas'.
