Word!
Why
Exactly
I was just thinking the same thing while watching this but he’s sitting with men who all can handle his intense cue maker personality. A lot of ego in that room but that is great for the folks wanting to see great custom cues
I know I'm 14 years late but a BIG THANK YOU for this round table. Loved it! 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
THATS WHAT I DO. SPEND THOUSANDS ON CUSTOM CUES AND DONT PLAY WITH THEM. DONT WANT TO BRING THE VALUE DOWN.
Just because a cue design is original doesn`t mean its good,all designs that are new are taken from whats been done before.
For me a cue is just a tool,period and all these fancy inlays,rare woods and materials,is wasted on me.
Yeah thats a nice cue but you can`t run more than 4 balls.
A cue that cost around $600 thats made well will perform as good as these cues that cost 5 times more,your paying for cosmetic touches,thats it.
Bill Schick from that Port City.
I hereby announce a new rule for humanity: Henceforth, all leaders of all industries and all communities and all countries on the planet earth shall regularly participate in a round table discussion with their peers. The word "participate" is key.
Bender didn't say a word at all but his cue hits very solid and is a piece of art. I also have owned Mcworter、Nitti、Capone and Tonkin.
I really like Nitti’s work and have for some time now. Never played with his cues but would love to hear your feedback if you ever feel like taking the time to respond.
We want to thank Justin Collett for his hard work in the industry! As always, he pulled a group of individuals together who are at the top of their craft! Amazing video to watch and lots to learn! Thank you Justin, TAR and all the participants!
MOST OF THESE PEOPLE WHO CALL THEMSELVES CUSTOM CUE MAKERS ARE NOT AT ALL. THEY INLAY THE POINTS, NOT REAL SHORT OR FULL SPLICES, DONT EVEN KNOW HOW. INLAID POINTS. THEN DRAW SOMETHING ON A COMPUTER SCREEN, LINE UP THE CUE IN A CNC, THEN CUT INLAYS ON CNC, GLUE IT TOGETHER, AND CALL THEMSELVES CUSTOM CUE MAKERS. THAT IS AN ASSEMBLY LINE!
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE ONLY GUY STANDING IN FRONT/BACK, WITH BLACK HAIR, ASKING THE QUESTIONS?
LOOKS FAMILIAR, BUT CAN'T THINK OF THE NAME.
GREAT IDEA, BUT THESE GUYS ARE NOBODIES IN THE CUSTOM CUE MAKING ARENA. ACTUALLY NEVER HEARD OF 50% OF THEM.
where is mr. dieckman?
To me, I feel a Cuemaker is a craftsman with having a creative side to design work and the know how's of technology to making a cue, one of a kind
I have a nitti and it's awesome. I've played with a friend's pfd (Drexler) and the hit was definitely not worth the money
I love plain janes.....that tells more about the maker. ...
THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT NAMES ON THE TABLE IN FRONT OF THEM, SO IT IS KNOWN WHO EACH PERSON IS.
Damn Justin. Thanks for this gem. It's something you could've easily charged in a DVD! Yet you put it up for free. Thanks again! TAR is the best!
Nice to see these guys chatting about their art. Love beautiful cues made by hand by true artists.
I'm a little disappointed....that table is not round!
it Would of been Crazy Awesome if Dale Perry Was there as well
Opinions are like assholes....everybody has one.
Eric Crisp never said a word, lol
Frank the Sailor Stellman (May he rest in piece) was a Hell of a CUE maker.Frank had his shop in RACINE Wisconsin. Sailor cues. The CUE WITH A FLAIR
I could swear I heard someone mention Danny Janes and another say may he rest in peace.I just spoke to Danny two days ago on the phone.He is 78 years old but he sure as hell is alive.
A opinion is just that and NOT a fact.A collectors cue means nothing in Tornys/competion.
Carbon Fiber
The only true in this conversation is that allways the guys who wear a hat talks more
My friend I shoot pool with Thomas Wayne its a damn fine cue
I watched the WHOLE thing waiting and hoping to hear anything from him...
Nobody even mentioned his cues or his work.
I can imagine how awesome it would be if Laurie Franklin was here.
and sugratrees are very unique yet one of the best hitting cues.
Nice jacket Andy!!
Man if only Richard Black was there........
AGREED. RICHARD BLACK IS AN ARTIST MAKING CUES. HE IS IN ANOTHER CLASS THAN MOST OF THESE GUYS, OR ALL OF THESE GUYS. RICHARD GAVE ME TICKET TO THE CUE ART SHOW, GALLERY SHOW, (FORGOT NAME) IN NEW YORK CITY, WAS A BLACK TIE EVENT. BEST TIME EVER. HUNG OUT AFTERWARDS WITH JUDD FULLER, SMOKING CIGARS, DRINKING FINE WHISKEY, SHOOTING POOL, AND OH, ON THE 30TH FLOOR OVERLOOKING CENTRAL PARK,
GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT MEMORIES.
wish Eric chimed in

Not a salesman!
I could argue EVERY POINT with all these nits.......They are all kidding themselves.....
Bunka Hill true
There was definitely some ego banging in that room. BTW, RC is pretty much dead on. Also as this film is quite dated, I guaranty very few makers use bolts any longer. No way I could listen to more than a few minutes of this.
