kevin sharland cues

[spotsand stripes]

have recently been looking at maple cues on ebay for the past 2 months and this name always seems to have a lot for sale. anyone have any ideas about this name/person/product/quality ?

[Mr O]

I'd bet you a tenner they're made in China

[KeithinFrance]

No bet, Steve!

Personally, I wouldn't take the risk but it's your money, it's up to you. You never know, you might be lucky ...

[Mr O]

Ye I agree Keith, very hit-n-miss. I've tried quite a few of the Chinese cues players over here have bought- JX, Waslin, Robin Scott, MA (the ones with the hilarious stories) etc . And find some of them are pretty good and some are crap, just luck I suppose. But if I was going for a Maple it would have to be from a reputable maker. Best Maple ones I've tried are Trevors , but the Glover ones I've tried were very nice aswell

I bought a couple of Kevin sharland cues off ebay when i went a bit cue happy and started buying loads just for the hell of it.

The 3/4 cue i bought was better quality than the 1 piece, however both were amazing value for money but then at the end of the day you get what you pay for!

I would definitely recommend them to someone starting out in the game, both these cues cost me i think £60 and £80 with a leather look case.

However my 3/4 cue from the rack at glovers is by far better quality!

Do you have any pictures of your cues to share with us ? :snooker:

Cheers

I have the 1 piece kevin sharland with me at work right now.(i mis-cued last night and cracked my tip on the cue from glovers hence why I am using the kevin sharland one today which is why i decided to do a search on it this morning)

I'll try and post some pics up this afternoon

here you go Freddie

Looks nice there mate.. what wood is it use for the front splice ??

[JayCho]

oops! sorry i forgot about this, on the 1 pc cue the splices are painted on, im sure of it.

but the 3/4 is far far better quality.
