When Do You Know You're 'Good Enough' to Buy a TW/MW/JP?

[whufcarl]

when I changed from a cue craft cue to my JP cue, my standard of play improved dramtically. I found that the cue is more solid and has a more consistent feel to it.
Really helped my game

Oh and on the watch front, sorry guys, but I love my Breitling! lol

I think the money you spend on a top end cue is spent on
the craftsmanship and time involved in making it
having played with loads of cues in my years of playing
the shaft and feel on my old Riley masters machine spliced
cue is the best I've ever played with but looks rubbish
The workmanship on my mw cue is great but I can't get
on with it,as I said a superb cue just doesn't feel right to
me just a bit too heavy
You get used to whatever you play with and need a cue
that suits you and that you are happy with
paying more does not guarantee you will like it.
But being happy with a cue will make you play better as
the game is played in your head as well as on the table
playing with a cue or tip for that matter you're not happy
with for whatever reason will lead to you blaming the cue
for what might just be a run of the mill miss.
A cue you are happy with is the right one for you no matter
the cost
Otherwise you end up like me endlessly looking for THE cue

Great advice Mick exactly my point

I bought an Omega Constellation Chronometre when they first came out, in the 50's, and it was the worst watch I ever had. It went back to Omegas several times, but to no avail.
Now I have several watches and my Zenith with an El Primero movement is very, very good.
Now waiting for a very good cue from the Maestro, Tw.
:snooker:

The best of the Constellation Chronometers have the 500 and 700 series movements.

I have a vintage one with a 751 movement and it's flawless, even at 41 years old.

wen u got the money and u like the cue, just buy it, better to buy and regret than to think of what would have happen if you had bought it.
but like jon said better cue does not = better player, however i feel there exist a tiny positive relationship between better cue and better playing.but not so much as going from a break 67 to a century. a nicer and better cue give the player more confidence,more enthusiasm for the game, and will blame his own skill instead of the cue if anything happens.

Rather like my sundial, but it does not seem to work very well in the front room

Totally agree mate, doesn't matter what level you are if you enjoy it and enjoy playing with a decent cue, treat yourself, theres no sell -by date on it!!! (If cared for!!)
