Who do you feel builds the highest quality Snooker cues?

[carbondalekid386]

I would like to start out by asking, are the highest quality Snooker cues still made in England, and what are some good options, for Snooker cues that are still made in England?

I see that Peradon cues are made in England. Is that still true to this day?

Are Peradon cues as high quality as a lower end John Parris cue, for example?

Please forgive me. I am a Newbie, when it comes to Snooker cues, but would still like to find a high quality, and beautiful Snooker cue to buy.

Would you recommend any of the used / vintage Snooker cues, that are found on ebay, from any certain cue makers? Are any of those vintage cues high quality, and would be good for a current player?

Anyways, back to my original question. Can you guys recommend some cue makers (Custom or Production) that you feel are very high quality, and can you tell me where they are made? Again, are the best Snooker cues still made in England?

Thanks a lot for any thoughts.

UK wise, Mike Woolridge and Raymond Cohen are top notch. Not sure about their waiting list, but probably a lot quicker than Parris. I like Cue Craft for something cheaper but still good quality. Peradon are probably a little bit overpriced.

Lots of good cues made in Thailand. I've had a Master Cue and a Maximus and both were nice and really good value.
