Thats about it!

I forgot to add - the reason for sale, the Pheonix is just too long for me, and I've given up pool to play some serious snooker, or at least try...

Hi, whats the shaft like on the pheonix ? Is it stiff, what is the balance like.
Cheers dean

[perpetualboredom]

Evening Dean,

It balances at 17" around an inch or so below the splices.
Every shaft is medium stiff isn't it..? if you look at cues for sale on TSF anyway!
I've found everyone has a different opinion on stiffness, I went to craftsman around 5 months ago to pick up a cue for my first season in t'snooker league, they didn't have anything remotely near what I'd consider "my specs" so I picked up every 1pce cue and chose this one as the one I liked best, there were certainly stiffer (deader!) cues I tried. Anyone close to Bradford is welcome to come along and have a game with it.. be gentle though, it is my first year playing afterall!

Hi thanks for the reply i understand what u mean about the shaft it is s personnel thing i suppose the spec of the cue is close to mine but seeing as i cant get to bradford to try to see for sure i would like to offer £130 delivered
regards dean

[perpetualboredom]

Thanks for the offer, but the prices here are definite 'buy it now' rather than offers of invite, the package cost ~£220 4-5 months ago so I'm sure its already good value - I have the cue advertised locally too.

[burny]

What sort of price would postage be please to derby

[perpetualboredom]

I'd have to check the weight and come back to you.

If under 2kg, £9 special delivery next day.
But with the extension too, I have a feeling it may be over - if so its £22 special or £13 standard 2-3 but insured.

Whats the weight of maple cue?

Straight? Stiffness?

How much u expect to get?

[burny]

Its stamped as 16.5oz its got a very small lift when rolled on a table I have played with this cue for about 6 months and it played very well hard to say if its stiff or not I would say medium but its got some power in the shaft but it just ended up being a little light for me,as for price I have no idea I sent perpetualboredom done pics so he may be able to advise a price
cheers
