[Dragonsye]

Ok, so most of you'll will probably be thinking WHAT is he on about, but i just got my Peradon Royal, and to me it looks gorgeous!! Cant wait to try it out!! So here are the specs (haven't verified the weight though)

Ash
3/4 joint (at 12 inches)
Hansdspliced ebony butt
9mm tip
Balance - 4" from butt

Just realized that the pics i took are too large to attach. Will do so ASAP!!

4" from butt? awful lol

[Dragonsye]

Correction- 4" from the joint!!My bad!! And i must say, Adam cases are VERY finr products indeed!!(I think thats how its spelt??)

Oh, and i THINK its 19oz or thereabouts!!

Adam's cases ? which are those ?
anyway about your question of the spelling , finr is usually written as fine

[Dragonsye]

Ha ha!! Very funny guys!!

Well, the case is a hard tube-like case. Its really solid, and very well made!!! Its almost identical to this

but for the fact that the lion is in red, and the zippers are silverish also with a red lion on it. Personally, i think mine looks nicer!! It holds my 3/4 Peradon Royal(12" butt- and i must say, it sounds REALLY nice to say MY Peradon Royal!!), plus the mini butt in the front pocket, and the telescopic extension. So its pretty awesome!! I would recommend it over most hard cases!!

And though i was very skeptical to buy off ebay, for 70 (+7.50 shipping) i think i got a fine deal!! The cue plays like a DREAM, it came with a mini butt, telescopic extension, chalk and a tip shaper!! Though the extension doesn't quite fit the cue, im sure i can get that fixed. So all in all, im a VERY happy camper!! Thanks to Peter from ebay!!

Pics of me cue!!! (uploaded pics of the case on the cue case thread! worth a look, IMHO!!)

KUDOS Peradon!!

Ok, so I thought I must write a review about the cue. I've been playing with it for a while, so now I know pretty much all there is to it!!

So first the only downside? Well, the only issue I can make out is that the splices aren't quite in line with the tombstone badge (its a plain ebony butt, so I mean the splices above the joint!!).

BUT....................apart from that very minor glitch, which doesn't really affect me, I must say I have gotten a fine specimen of craftsmanship!! The finish is silky smooth, just a wipe with a damp and dry towel once in a way, and it just glides over my bridge!! The balance is superb! It feels great to play with!! I must say, my game has improved (more because it facilitates me, rather than making me better) but all around, I am a very happy person!! Thank you Peradon!! (Bow)

Personally, (apart from the fact that I cant afford any better!!) I think a good solid cue is all you need, and I doubt I'll ever go for anything else.

One point to note, however- I think since I bought it second hand, I may have gotten an old cue, which was manufactured during a time when the company produced better quality, so I can't vouch for the modern cues. However, if my cue is anything to go by, for a budget, Peradon seems to be a great choice!!

Also, please forgive my ignorance, but I have just stated what I have experienced(though it may be quite limited), as a player who genuinely enjoys the game, and is also of limited means. Just voicing my satisfaction!!

I like that case, pretty good price for a case that holds all the bits and pieces one has to carry around. Shame it doesn't have a shoulder strap.

[Dragonsye]

Amen to that!! Amazing deal on the case... It really made the whole deal a "steal"!! Very solid, and also holds everything.

Might actually make a strap for it after I finish my degree, and have time to carry it around!! Right now, just keep it at my club, so no worries!!
