MKR cues

[chipper1977]

So I've taken a gamble and ordered an MKR cue from Pakistan. Anyone heard of them or got any experience of their cues?

All I know is that ex-pro Hamza Akbar uses/used a MKR cue.

Ok, that's pretty cool then. At least i know there is some quality/heritage there. All i can say is they were very easy and good to deal with, so hoping for the best

[DeanH]

Can I ask how did you contact them, details of the cue, timescale for delivery, and (being cheeky) how much -ish

[chipper1977]

OK, so I contacted them via Facebook on their official site, then WhatsApp, told them what I wanted and they showed me what they had ready made or could do a custom order. I wanted something quicker (they quoted 10-12 days delivery) , so it's a 1 piece ultimate edition with titanium ferrule, 3 extensions, cue case and delivered to the uk. I don't wanna feel like a mug if I've been ripped off, so if you say what you think that's worth and then I'll let you know (ish) what I paid 😉

I hope it plays well for you, that is all that matter.

Yeah I hope so too. I'll be honest, i don't think i've been duped and if the cue is half as good as it sounds then i'll be happy. Here's a cryptic clue on how much.... less than double the cost of the most expensive cue on argos.

Delivered? Then it sounds a cracking deal for hopefully a cracking cue and set
Can't wait to see what you get

[chipper1977]

Yes delivered. which was probably about a third of the cost unfortunately

Nick Barrow did a quick review of these about 7 years ago. Scroll to about 5 mins 30 secs. Nice pair of Connoisseurs.

Thanks for sharing that video, nice to see some in the flesh

Really curious about this. Has OP received it yet? Be sure to let us know how it plays!

[chipper1977]

Sorry not received it yet, i'll send post pictures when i do but I think it'll be a couple of weeks at least unfortunately

[chipper1977]

So it came, i'd say it took 3 weeks max which was pretty good.
The worst news was the case got a bit beat up but on a positive, it protected the cue!
Looks like it got opened up, repackaged and that's where the damage occurred so can't blame the sender.

Anyway, I think the cue looks and feels amazing, I can physically feel the stiffness of this cue compared to my old cue.
I just haven't managed to take it for a spin yet but hopefully soon.

If anyone wants to ask me anything about the buying experience/cue then i will happily answer.
