My Cue

i play with a falcon

Used to have a Lucasi, just got an Audrick with 2 shafts off FleaBay. Very happy with purchase, have 1 shaft with an Elkmaster, other with a Moori Med. The hit is nice and solid, and after only 3 hours play, I've put the 9 in off the break 6 times (3 in a row ) Many of the American players put down the Phillipino cue makers like Audrick, but to get a cue from an American maker that looks as good and hits as solid I'd would have to have spent 4-5x as much. I only play 9Ball one day a week, so can't justify spending $500US+ for a custom inlaid playing cue.

I've been thinking the same thing, especially as postage is cheaper from Taiwan, and most of the Jump cues from the US as Chinese made anyway.
If you want to look for them on ebay, most list in the English version of the Hong Kong site http://pages.ebay.com.hk/eng/. Several have ebay stores, and have jump cues starting from around $15Aus + postage. I've been keeping an eye on a couple, so if you bid on one, tell me and I won't bid against you to force the price up .

The cheapies only come now and then, you have to keep an eye out for them. I'll post if I see one.

I have, relatively, just started playing English Pool, have got my head around the World Rules and have my own cue. I am eager to play different people for more experience.

If anyone lives in the Teesside area and would want to play against someone different then you know who to contact (via personal messaging on the website or email).

[jimmymoller]

Jump Cue

Jimmy, I found a cheap Jump cue for you

Ebay item number 130171209947

At $22US with $16US postage, that makes it less than $50Aus delivered to your door. As a side note, don't you just love the strong Aus$ to the US$ at the moment, makes for great buying power.
