    That's Robin: efficient, polite and professional. If he says that he's got a piece of ash that'll suit you, then you don't have to worry, the cue'll suit you.

    The design sounds nice as well: what kind of burr did you go for?

          I also ordered a cue from Robin yesterday evening.
          It was also my expereince that he is a responding, helpful and proffessional guy.
          Compared to a few other cuemakers who have not even resonded on emails...

          My specs:

          1pc, hand spliced cue
          plain ebony butt without streaks, extra long splices
          Ash shaft, slim tapered,
          Length 56.5”
          Butt 31mm
          9mm tip
          Weight 17 oz

          I have a really good feeling about him making me a nice and playable cue.
          I am confused... Oh wait... Maybe I'm not...

              If he had only our two cues to handle I think he could manage....

              But obviousely there might be some others, too...

                he mentioned he had some goldfield burr and some thuya burl he also named a few others so i told him he could pick something himself and he said i will pick a nice piece and make it tastefull so we will have to wait and see it be a nice suprise at the end.maybe cocobolo eh keith.

                  Now, what on earth would make you think I'd be concerned by that, eh?!? Lol

                    Sounds like a nice little cue; for English 8ball pool, chatlag?

                    You're right, Robin'll make you a nice, playable cue!! :snooker:
