I showed a Samsara cue to an Asian player called Kuo in Vegas during the BCA. He came 3rd in the World Pool Championship in 2004 and 2nd in 2005. So, he can play a bit.

Anyway, he tried the cue and fell in love with it. He has a sponsor, but he is also allowed to use whatever cue he wants. He decided to buy this Samsara cue and took it back to Taiwan.

He came third in the All Japan Championship 2006. When he played Mika Immonen, he broke and ran six racks in a row with his Samsara cue. I was there and was very impressed by how he played.

Kuo used to play with a Tad, Southwest, Prather, and Ed Prewitt.

I am not a Samsara cue dealer, just trying to share some first hand experience here about Samsara cues.

Thank you.

I have two now one I won and one I bought from another player, I love their looks and feel I did order the cue, Thanks for your input !

I've known Jim and Dave from Samsara for about ten years. In that time, I've heard nothing but good things about them. I have two of their high end cues and have three on order.

I'm certain you'll be pleased.

Jim from Samsara will be posting in the JimBo section in the next few days, maybe if you ask the question there he will answer any and all Samsara questions when he gets there.

According to what I've read in InsidePOOL Magazine....

Dave Doucette saz:

“Also, we core everything, even if it’s made of maple. We started coring because of the intarsia. The intarsia parts are built clear through, but you have to core it for strength. The intarsia design ends up being a thin sleeve when it’s finished. ”

Like a love-sick bat, swirling through the eye of a hurricane.
