Ok , if it makes you feel better

He surely don't have the splicing machinary,and copy lathes as he says all his cues are hand made

You do realise they stopped making the master cue years ago. Saying its "bought in" is pretty farcical just because its machine spliced. Ever cross your mind they had a machine for that and sold it on because the hand spliced cues were much more popular?
