ebay for cues

[tmcthree]

I really want a maple cue, I love the way the feel. I've found this on ebay I was just wondering if anyone has used one or has heard anything about the maker?. They seem to be going for about £50-£80 which seems good value considering what you get, unless, of course, they're rubbish...

you can always tell the chinese cues they waffle on about ancient and historical knowledge and how the ebony used from africa as the spirit of the lion and all that bull sh*t . unrivalled techniques my arse unrivalled boll*cks.

LOL, yes well I had guessed that they may be foreign, probably Chinese, but does it necessarily follow that they are selling bad cues?

Incidentally, if use of English is an indicator of expertise in this area all of the posters to this thread (except me) have disqualified themselves.

Ste bed for the egregious mistake of writing "there" instead of "they're".

Snookerloopy for lack of capitalisation or punctuation.

And you, because you didn't use a capital at the beginning of your sentence, you didn't use quotation marks around the quoted text and the space between the end of the sentence and the exclamation mark is unnecessary.

Oh and look I've said "except me" when I should have said "except I". I guess we're all out.

For the link you posted:

Just look at the splices and points. There's a difference of maybe half an inch
between the two visible poits (where the maple "ends").

--> Not well made...
