If I remember correctly, Kevin Muncaster said the latest cue he made for John was 56 3/4" long. But it was a couple of years ago and I wouldn't put my house on it!

What!!! mark's cue is under 57? how could that possibly be? He is so tall!Originally Posted by archalf1471 View PostComment

Yeah, but he's always used a shortish cue, as far as I know, but he's such a natural player I think he could play with anything!
There's a guy who plays in my club, a good player by the way, who uses a 57" cue and he's 6'5" tall! He always says that a shorter cue helps him to be more accurate with a more compact cue action, and it works for him! I'm 5'11" and use a 56 1/2" cue and it works for me too. But we play English 8ball pool, not snooker.Il n'y a pas de problemes; il n'y a que des solutions qu'on n'a pas encore trouvées.

His original cue was slightly less than 57" last time he was using it, but he has changed that now.Comment

I knew we could count on you for an accurate answer, Trev. Any idea why he's changed after using a shorter cue for so long?Il n'y a pas de problemes; il n'y a que des solutions qu'on n'a pas encore trouvées.

Seriously, i think cue is really up to individual? But a 'shorter' cue really does help your accuracy as you are forced to bridge nearer? i am 6'4 plus and i find 58.5 too long! Trevor does make cues and send overseas? could i enquire where did you get your ash wood from?Comment

Not too sure I understand your question. Whose ash wood would you like to know about?Originally Posted by singapore View Post
Yes, Trevor makes cues and sends overseas. You can contact him via this forum, he's Trevs1. I've just noticed you've only got 7 posts; once you have 10 then you can contact him on the forum or you can send him a message directly; I'll pm you his details, ok.
I agree, a cue is up to the individual.
I find the accuracy is more to do with my stance and cueing than bridging nearer but if you find that helps you, then go for it.Last edited by KeithinFrance; 6 February 2009, 09:01 AM.Il n'y a pas de problemes; il n'y a que des solutions qu'on n'a pas encore trouvées.

i mean trevor's ash wood, where is it from?Originally Posted by KeithinFrance View Post
i am now waiting for mike's reply. he says he is gonna think of something to go with snake wood to make it look beautiful. wonder what idea has the great cue maker has in mind!
thanks alot! u give very quality postComment

I think that only Trevor knows where he gets his ash from! He said recently that the shafts he's got at the moment are probably the best he's ever had, so it's a good time to get a cue from him!!
If Mike says he's going to think of something to make snakewood look beautiful, this is probably going to be awesome; I'd be very interested in seeing the result! I'm not a big fan of snakewood personally but if you get a nice bit it can be really beautiful, so good luck with that.
I try to help, if I can. Thanks for your thanks!Il n'y a pas de problemes; il n'y a que des solutions qu'on n'a pas encore trouvées.

As I can't PM you, Singapore, here are Trevor's details again: trevor dot white at virgin dot net or by 'phone: 00 44 (0) 1656 724256. Hope this helps you out.
Many thanks to Andrew for the heads-up concerning the best way to post Trev's address so's he's not hit by spammers! I hadn't even thought of that.Il n'y a pas de problemes; il n'y a que des solutions qu'on n'a pas encore trouvées.

If you're asking where do "I" get it from myself. The answer to that is from a UK timber merchant, who is good enough to allow me to sort through everything they have to select out the quality I need.
Hope that answers your question.Comment
