You might want to let this guy know his website is not working at all and prospective customers like myself cannot get in to see cues and prices

Nice looking pictures.
May I ask what kind of taper is used usually on LK. T cues?
Are they usually quick thick or slim? Thank you.

hi Terry
I don't know what is the problem,for me ,i can get in all the time!
Is there anything I can do for you ?

[Terry Davidson]

OK, I got into the website but no English. He is missing out on every major market outside of China as Mandarin and Cantonese are not read much outside of China. Perhaps just selling in China only is all he can handle since snooker is so popular there.

From the pictures you posted they look like nice cues but no use to me if I cannot read anything on the website outside of what google translates.

I received my LK.T three weeks ago. I had my third trial and made my personal best of 66.

The taper of LK.T is close to that of JP and TW cues.

I will discuss with Mr.Tsang for the possible of English version.

If you dont mind, could you meaure your Lk.T cue at 12", 24", and 36" and let me know the diameter of the shaft please?
It is just that I have been under the impression that the taper they use is quite a bit more "conical" and thicker than a regular Trevor White cue.
Thank you.

Hope you can get to this link of LK.T forum
Few months ago, Mr. Tsang measured the spec for different brands, the data is as follows:
John Parris CLASSIC
30.21/25.80/19.10/13.88/9.64
John Parris CHAMPION
30.18/25.49/19.30/14.03/9.57
Hunt&Osborne GREEN PLATE
29.88/25.36/19.73/14.67/9.88
Hunt&Osborne BLACK PLATE
29.56/24.43/19.70/15.28/9.56
LK.T FAMILY
29.19/25.32/19.38/14.46/9.52
LK.T FAMILY (10 yrs old)
28.92/24.45/18.92/13.85/8.94

[Straight strike]

My LK.T is Family IV, a lower model of the Family series. The cue has amazing cue power, medium stiffness(7.5 reading according to Tsang's setting), perfecly balance, stable, no loading inserted. It is a very good player indeed and I would recommend it to all the friends I know without doubt.

Another good news is that the minin butt and telescopic extension are surprisingly cheap, it cost me less than 20 pounds altogether. I always think these extensions are somewhat overpriced in the market.

The rating and the price of LK.T cues are directly related to the quality of the shafts, similiar to that of Hunt and Osborne's. Tsang regards the playability more than anything else.

If you appreciate complicated splicing more, you had better look elsewhere IMO. But if you alway have an ambition to play better snooker as your ultimate goal, Lk.t could be your spring board.

Why don't show us your F4?

Thank you for the measurements. I have done something similiar myself taking measurements of various cues.:-)

I am not able to go to the forum but I did look at the data you have provided, thank you.

If I understand this correctly, the data is basically a comparison of two John Parris cues both with thick butts over 30mm, with two Lk.T cues with butts about 29mm (one is a bit over 29mm and the other is less than 29mm), with measurements taken at the tip, 12", 24", (not sure about the forth--is it 48" may be), and the butt end--is that correct?

When I looked at the set of data provided by you regarding the first JP with a 30.21mm butt, I noticed that although this JP cue is clearly thicker with a bigger tip (9.64mm)and a thicker butt (30.21mm) but the measurements are still slimmer than the LK.T with a smaller tip (9.52mm) and a much slimmer butt size (29.19mm) in the first 24" region.

I am not too sure about the data of the H&O because the black plate data seemed kind of unusual to me.

Regardless, I am not saying this in a bad way, and I am glad you have found your dream cue--which is really all that should really matter at the end of the day--but I have to respectfully disagree that the LK.T taper is similiar to a John Parris or Trevor White taper.

From the data you have shown, it appears to me that the LK.T taper is quite a bit thicker and straighter in the first 24" region compared to a JP or TW.

Please don't get me wrong, I dont mean this in a bad way. I am not a dealer of TW or JP cues and it makes no difference to me which cue you prefer.

I have a set of data of a Trevor White for your reference:
9.75/13.91/18.48/23.75/26.35 (measurements taken at every 12" interval)

Again, the Lk.T cue which measurments your have provided is quite a bit thicker than this TW cue at the first 24" region even though the Lk.T has a slim butt of 19.19mm.

I did not look at the 10 years old LK.T cue because it has a tip under 9mm and has probably been sanded down and so on after 10 years. I think it is more meaningful to look at and compare his current taper.

Once again, I am not saying it is good or bad-- just expressing my view or if you may, opinion, on the difference in taper between Lk.T and JP and TW cues. I hope you dont mind me saying this. It appears to me, from the limited data I have observed, that the LK.T cue has a more straight and thicker taper in the first 24" of the shaft than a TW or JP. A lot of players prefer a stiffer taper and I dont think a thicker taper is a bad thing. Just want to point out that they do not seem to be the same thing based on the data you provided.

I would like to stress that I think the most important thing for a player is to find the best and most suitable cue for himself. What is best for one player might not be best for the next. It is always a wonderful thing to find a cue you can trust and be proud of. Taper is a ver personal matter, and it seems to me the Lk.T taper is working very well for you.

Thank you for the data once again.

I appreciate this thread. It opens my eyes to a cue maker I have never heard of before, and I appreciate the info/pic provided regarding his work.

Thank you.

Hope you make a century soon.
