Background

AE cues is a partnership of Bruce Kuhn and Jeff Fugal. Like many cuemakers, they started out as pool players who felt they could build a better cue. With combined backgrounds in machining, toolmaking, woodworking, and business, they started doing cue repair in 1990. By 1992, having assembled the necessary equipment and experimented with various cue construction designs and techniques, both cuemakers began offering their cues for sale. Both cuemakers enjoy seeing the end product of their efforts and getting feedback from players who are using their cues. They are proud of the quality of the workmanship in their cues, which they feel is second to none. According to Bruce and Jeff, "a good-hitting cue starts with the selection of the best possible raw materials. From there, the cue must be designed correctly to give it the correct balance and feel. Much of the design work is not even visible in the finished cue. The final key is the execution. Precision workmanship during all phases of construction is necessary to provide the look, feel, and durability the player is looking for."
