Andrew Gibbs Custom Made Multispliced 1 Piece Ash Cue

[EZ_4_U_OK]

Graham Dott - this is a well known story, Graham went to Andy many years ago to get a custom cue, while there he picked up a cue in the corner that Andy himself had not rated at all, and only till recently (early last year?) did Graham change cue. I believe now that cue is hanging in Robert Osborne's workshop.
Stephen Maguire - not sure, but would not be surprised if Stephen has had one in the past - anyone?

If that's the case, is it possible that Graeme Dott won his World Championship in 2006 using an Andrew Gibbs cue I wonder?

Yes he did and as Dean quite rightly says , it is sitting in Robert Osbornes workshop . Robert made a cue for him which he used for one season .

Never asked for the Gibbs cue to be sent back . If it was me , it would have been framed .

Yep, according to Greame's book, his Championship winning cue broke just before the start of the 2009/10 season.
Went to a "company in London", but couldn't be repaired. In fact, they told him "the wood was diseased and should be thrown away.
It is , without doubt, the worst cue I have ever seen in the possession of a professional snooker player."

Just re-inforces the belief, that you can't just throw money at a cue to get THE one.

His book's a good read btw.

I did tell him that before he took it.

Can't have been that bad of a cue though Andy !

Small tip from what i remember when i had a look at it at Robert's .

[bigandyg]

8mm Neil,no wonder it never lasted that long with the hours that Graeme put in.I hated watching him on tv as I was always waiting for the ferrule to fly off.Going to be in his company shortly will keep the pressure on about your cue.

[Neil Taperell]

8MM !!!! don't remember it being that small .

Amazes me how good these players are ......i played with a 9.1mm cue once and could not hit a barn door with a tractor !!

Fingers crossed with the cue

I think I read or saw it somewhere that Maguire was using a cue off Raymo, from here on the forum.

Yes indeed !...would surely be worth something on ebay too?

I wonder how many people can say they own a World Championship winning cue?..apart from the actual players of course
