The top cuemaker of China

[BoBnoGG!n]

Heard that many UT and Omin Cues were sold in Western Countries with different badges. Cheaper stuff does not mean the quality is bad..

Cheers

u know its funny, cause the other day, i was lookin at my mates cue, and he tells me something interesting.
he bought his cue from alcocks(australias oldest billiard company) for 600 australian and the guy who sold it to him told him, the cue was originally made in thailand, and rebadged elsewhere. i have a look at the cue, and everything on the cue looks like an uncle thai cue. the splicing on the shaft is the same length. the joint is an Omin airlock joint. the splicings on the butt are the same size as splicing on my cue. the large ones anyways. and the small flat face on the butt is the exact same size aswell. how many people cut their butts the same size? another thing on closer inspection is that the glue used on the ferrule, stains the wood close to the ferrule a very light brown. i have not seen this coloration on ferrules often, as i do a LOT of peoples tips. i think he might b playing with an old uncle thai cue. lol theres a possibility right? and he told me the reason he bought the cue was that it was such well balanced, and forward weighted (arnd 17.5 inches) and that was also the first thing he noticed about my cue. he picked it up and said it was so well balanced he couldnt believe i got such a well weighted cue (altho too light for him) for that price. i found it interesting :P but i guess we'll never really know now will we! =]

I won't tell you anything... I know that one day UT will cut my tonque ..... It might be the opposite way. Old players here call him 'Mr. Shadow'. Don't know why

I won't tell you anything... UT asked me to cut my tonque tonight..... (He has been making cues for 20+ years by now. Pro players here call him 'Mr. Shadow'. Don't know why

If your friend ever needs a cue, let me know. Best Price (means no $15 from me ) If you have a badge of your own, send it to me too

Cues from China

I stepped into a trap the other day buying Chinese cues, reading all the threads, and looking at the quality of these cues, 18 Pounds. for a 3/4 ash with 4 splices. I make cues, just for the fun. The raw material, Ash plus the joint,ferrule and ebony or rosewood, and splicing is more than 20 Pounds on a cue. I do not say the guys do this, but what stops cuemakers taking these cues, and customise them with new splices and put on a very good finish on them. I think the majority of non pro snooker,pool player will never no the diffience from a cue made in China from a UK cue if that is done.
If you ad a very soft tip on them they play not bad for n 20 Pound cue. Brand names sell cues.

why would they need to? LKT ranks up there with the best cuemakers in asia and makes unique cues in which all the splicing patterns are done by hand. they also provide test results and stats on each cue.

[arbitrage]

www(dot)lktchina(dot)com is correct, i just double checked. go into the site and enter 3rd column from the left.

otherwise, you can also contact brother4, he has a lot of LKT cues - mr. tsang just paid him a visit last week. for pics of that encounter, go to www(dot)snooker(dot)com(dot)hk -- second column, it says brother4(dot)com. go in and you will see a thread about LKT and mr. tsang's visit to brother 4's shop.

brother4 please excuse me for making advertisements about you without your permission~~~ you can punish me by making me buy more cues from you.
