I've a Wilshaw cue, been playing with it for 8 years or so. They're a pretty popular choice in these parts (the potteries) so have seen a fair few. I can honestly say they're very well put together.

The only gripe I've ever found is that the butt diameters can be a little on the skinny side - whether this is characteristic of his work or the of the few I've handled is a matter for debate though.

That aside I honestly have never seen a less than excellent cue from his workshop, thoroughly recommended.

tony is a nice chap.

i hv a tony wilshaw cue.
absolutely stunning craftsmanship.
what surprises me was the silk-like finish.
also, he has a good source of wood. the shaft is simply superb~ (mine is a maple)
highly recommended.

btw, reasonably priced as well~

I had a Tony Wilshaw cue made to my specs.

Good craftsmanship, really a nice and good looking cue.
Reasonable price, nice guy.

I'd put them on the same level as Robin, Coutts or Glover.

Did John Higgins use his cue at one point?

How much is say a plain ebony/ash cue regular spec and so on from him?

He shows a picture with John Higgins on his homepage.

I paid around 300 GBP + shipping for ash/ebony with single veneer + splice including mini butt and telescopic extension.

Am I right in thinking he makes cues for Stamford cues? Or is that someone else?
