| Bio and Philosophy |

 Here
is Tim Prince's background and philosophy in his own words:
"I started playing pool in my early teens, and was hooked instantly. I
loved everything about pool, especially cues. I had taken a cue of
mine to be rewrapped by a local cue maker and knew instantly after
watching him re-wrap that cue, that I wanted to make cues. I started
buying equipment soon after that. I am a tool and die maker by trade
and have been trained in high tolerance precision machining so
building cues came easy for me. I built and sold my very first cue in
1996 (later I bought my first cue back)."
"I build Prince cues with playability as my number one concern. I
always hated end heavy cues, so I weight my cues evenly throughout the
cue. I make every part of my cues except for the tip and bumper.
Prince cues is a one man operation. I hand pick all the woods and
inlay materials that go into my cues. I am very picky when it comes to
the materials that I use. I build roughly 40 cues a year, mostly
spliced pointed cues. I am very meticulous when it comes to my spliced
points. I am always busy with custom orders, and repair work for local
pool rooms so it can take 4-6 months for a cue. I have received
nothing but praise for the way that my cues play, and I work very hard
at maintaining that reputation."
The Prince cue motto is "Made by a Prince, fit for a king."

stock, but he makes relatively few each year and they are
quite popular so check
