Doesn't Osborne still use the chunky joints on his 3/4 ?

[Neil Taperell]

Yes , but there is a difference between them . They have been tweaked over the years .

Makes me wonder about the cue i have that was sent to Mike for repairs, it has the chunky joint yet it only partially fits into an osborne extension...i have an original wooden extension that i'll try it in when i get it back. Originally i thought it was real, then a replica when it didn't fit the osborne extension, now i'm not so sure.

Osbornes joints are different from H & O joints . What Robert told me was that he changed them slightly , not made by the same person that made them for H & O .

Well funny thing is the extension i got for Narl Robert said it would fit on the hunt and oybrne cue saying he had a female telescopic and a original one. I got the telescopic for Narl and before I sent it, tried it on my cue and it fit perfectly.

If his joint has been tweaked how can it fit my cue and also the original hunt and obyrne

The joints aren't made by the same company , I'm sure Robert told me that these joints were his own design

They may very well be but didn't change the fact he sold us a hunt and O'Byrne female extension that fitted one of his cues!

This cue was bought for £395, then he immediately put it up for £800 ish, then it started to go down in price due to no interest. He must have seen the new "black plate" pricing and decided to ratchet the price despite no interest at lesser cost.

joints are almost identical now to the ones in the 80's - for sure they would all fit

Excuse my ignorance, but how do you know all that?

With even a slightly trained eye we all know the difference.
