Time for a new cue -Trevor White or Mike Wooldridge

[Neil Taperell]

Morning All , I would like your opinion on which cue maker is better.

I am currently using a Robert Osborne bespoke snakewood [4 splices ] cue.

Need a change.

I've found Mike's website but any ideas how you go about buying a Trevor White Cue.

I've just joined the forum and read a number of articles regarding Trevor White but i would like to know if he has a website [assume not reading articles] .Would like to know how to contact him , prices and average time of manufacturer of a new cue.

Looking for a 19oz - 20oz cue with mini butt + extension.

Thanks very much

As for which one to go with, well they both make brilliant cues, so go with which ever one you fancy.

One thing.... If "its time for a new cue" means you want it fairly soon bare in mind you will have to wait a while for the top makers... Especially Trevor who is in the order of months.

MW : At least 2 months to wait for a new cue finish
TW : Have to wait longer than MW's cue (around 6 months)

Price range for both cuemakers are almost the same. Both are top notch. So which one do you go for?....PEACE TO TO YOU BRO...Happy New Year

P/s-nice and funny avatar...i like it...

MW's cue cost more than Trevor.

[Neil Taperell]

I think i will go for MW cue , as i read his web site and he may have custom cues in stock. Says it takes about 10 days to finish them.

I know that well. As I said, their price range are ALMOST the same...ALMOST

What do you expect a "custom cue in stock" to be?
That doesn't make sense, as far as I know...

[Neil Taperell]

That's what i thought ...but if you read his web site it states that they may have 'part made custom cues in stock ' and 'it takes 5 - 10 days to finish / customize to your preference. I know i might not get exactly what i want but i willing to compromise slightly. Can't do anything until he updates his web site.

Mike will probably have some shark butterfly spliced cues in stock (butterfly spliced for approx 160) but i wouldn't hold my breath on anything else tbh. You might be lucky though. His shop is still closed for xmas for now.

[Neil Taperell]

Thanks for that mate. Any idea what the main difference is between Shark & Custom.

Is it just down to the quality of the Grain?

Thanks

Have a read thro Mikes website (hope link works)

http://www.handmadecues.com/cues/32-sharkcues.htm

He explains any differences better than us

[brendan147]

Neil,

What happened to your RO cue anyway? Is it still in good condition?

[snookerfan91]

That is nice and he gives full explanation too.
