Perry Weston started to play pool at the age of ten. Growing up in Wisconsin, Perry liked to play in the local tournaments. he got more serious about the game, while attending college. Eventually, he decided to order a cue from a local custom cue maker. Perry knew the specific of the cue he wanted, the cue maker would not make it that way. Perry decided to use the knowledge he had received working in a machine shop to make his own custom cue. He got some components from another cue maker, and completed the first cue in 1982. When a friend offer him $50.00 for the cue, Perry sold it, knowing that he could make another. Soon, more of his friends wanted him to make them custom cues, and the word began to spread. Perry constantly experimented with ways to improve the design and construction of his cues. Perry's cues have been easily identifiable since 1984, when he started putting "Weston" on the flared butt caps. In 1993, Perry left Wisconsin to make cues in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Perry became to specialize in making one-of-a-kind custom cues. Perry makes every component except the bumpers, tips, and screws, which are custom made to his specifications. All Perry's cues have custom computerized inlays, calculated down to the 100/1000. |
