....

All of the cuemakers who know me and are aware of my hatred for Fels know full well that the quote is phony because they know I would never even speak to that weasel in the first place.

Later I’ll be happy to address the issue(s) of playability, but for the moment I just wanted to address this fake quote by a fake writer.

If I could afford one of your cues, I'd be calling you right now. Not only because you make a great cue, but because that was a great post and I like your attitude.
Good post. I hope you stick around Jimbo's Army after this thread is history.
Oh yeah, I'm supposed to ask a question...

When push comes to shove, what comes first for you playability or art?
