Seems pricey for what looks like an old shark model

[billabong]

So it's not just me then. Thought I was losing touch there for a minute.

It'll get what someone is willing to pay, I suppose.

[bernardosoares]

Not really, considering they are not made anymore. To quote Mike..."If you managed to acquire one then consider yourself lucky, as there are unlikely to be more in the foreseeable future. Custom Sharks via Virtual Cue Maker program are also no longer available."

Mike Wooldridge 1 Piece Cue

Mike Wooldridge Snooker Cue Pool Cue
Mike Wooldridge's standard Black Legend cues start from ?450 if you check his website.
This cue has a detailed design made to look very simple and would cost a considerable amount on his virtual cue maker.



The cue is available for viewing in London.
I am open to sensible offers.
Any questions I'll be happy to answer them so feel free to ask.

but these were the entry range butterfly spliced cues, priced about £200 below the legend cues

he doesn't do butterfly splice entry level cues on his virtual cue maker.

I still don't see it having jumped £200+ pounds in value. You could buy a new legend for £10 more. .

I suppose the market will define what it's worth though. .

Why is it the same price here, as on ebay ? No 10% fees on here.

[bernardosoares]

Hence my last quote. Hence, it's rare, hence the price. And it didn't cost £200 in 2007, it cost a considerable amount more. And things that cost x amount 8 years ago don't cost x amount today. Have you heard of inflation or the value accorded to rarer items? Anyway, you're right billabong it will get what someone is willing to pay, hence I have put I am open to offers.

150 I will offer

[Leo]

I can't see the problem TBF, the OP has stuck an old wooldridge cue on which looks fairly decent especially for the "Arrow" hit squad.
Whether he paid £200 for it or not , the point is you can't buy a wooldridge now for £200

[bernardosoares]

Thanks Leo! I appreciate that. I'm surprised you're the only one who understands the point I'm trying to get across. And thanks for your offer darrenlowe79 but I'm going to have to kindly turn it down.

[Master Blaster]

It's worth what someone is willing to pay and if that's £400, there it is. It's an MW so it will be attractive from that point. But for me, it's not worth £415. It's only a butterfly spliced which ain't up to the mustard of a proper four point hand spliced to begin with and besides, TP will make you a beautiful custom cue for this kind of money inside two months. So would Cue Craft and lots of other good cue makers so why have a butterfly spliced instead? But for the MW fans, this does make sense. Horses, courses.

[bernardosoares]

I would disagree that butterfly hand spliced cues are not up to the mustard of four point hand spliced cues. It is nothing but a stylistic difference. If you don't believe me then ask yourself how Marco Fu's number 7 on the all time centuries made list? A well made cue is a well made cue.

The shaft in a four point makes it all the way to the butt end. It doesn't in a butterfly, the shaftwood ends early, much like a solid 3/4 jointed cue. The shaft carries the feel of the shot, so a butterfly is inferior.

As for Marco Fu, everyone on here has more cue power. So I guess butterflies are crap from that perspective as well. Of course they're not? I guess 4 point splice hand made's are superior because almost every world champion has used one? No, that's not true. They're simply better because they carry more feel. The same is true w.r.t. hand-spliced v. machine spliced cues.

Now you're cue is far superior to a four-point hand spliced jointed cue as the joint kills feel but it ain't up to a well made four point 1-piece hand spliced made from air-dried angel ash mate. I think butterflies look sketchy as well, cheapish looking, even thought they're not. It's all about makin em faster with butterflies, no other reason.

I'm sure it will find a good home and I bet it's a good player but for me, £400 can be spent on a much better custom cue.
