The Billiard Cue?

I don't need to preach to the converted. We live in modern times and as such mention the whiff of litigation and money, the pack dogs come snarling. Is it time we went back to the basics of the love of the game and the humble cue, used to help the player pit his wits against the foe? Cues come in all shapes, sizes and materials. Modern life throws up many challenges. Is it time to stop the merrygoround and get in the mind set of the Walter Lindrums, Tom Reeces and Joe Davis's of the world - the love of the game. A cue is individual, personal and in many cases a prized possession. Lets pay homage to the humble cue maker, who still takes the time to produce a work of art to help us in our quest to find 'the one'. There aren't may industries left where techniques from a bygone age are in use today! Good People (Dare I say Gentlemen at the cost of being criticised) The floor is yours.

The intention of my thread was to point out the two schools of thought (or multiples) for the undecided. There are those people who strive to improve their ability at the game, and those who strive to improve the cue and its components. Sometimes the latter causes complications in the 'interpretation' of patent. The inventor of any thing that helps or improves the game should be rewarded. But to claim credit for something that someone else has invented doesn't seem right. Comments please ..........
