I'd like to see a high end version of these cues, No offence but they seem to be aimed at the JJB, argos crowd atm

doesn't a patent stop people producing cues of a similar description?

[RGCirencester]

Anyone could do it but they couldn't sell it if I understand correctly?

to buy means that the guy making has to sell :P

EDIT: in fact, think we interpreted the post differently

No the inventor can not stop individual people from sanding an old cue into whatever shape they want. He might be able to stop a cue maker from making or selling them in this design but this could be challenged if it was proved he/the inventor was not the first to do this with a cue.

Like I say I like innovation with snooker cues and that lad from Liverpool who did the Gravity cue showed some invention for me and there are other things such as the 1 click joint\hidden joint etc., and I never say never to innovation and wish the poster well with your business but I don't think this is one that I will be trying anytime soon.

is it patented in ukraine too? someone could start making them over here

[campbell]

Yes anybody could shape an old cue, but it took me about 20 cues to get the first one right. So if you want to waste your money on a load of cues instead of buying one thats up to you, but don't forget if your shaping an ash cue to put the grain back in and if you do a good job you can come and work for me ! Thanks for all of the comments

I know people in the Ukraine play cuesports! I met a guy from Ukraine at an expo in Germany who asked me to have a cue made with the 1Klik cue joint made for him by one of my customers, it was 1.8m long for Pyramid, which he was very happy with.

Do you have a list of cuemakers from Ukraine, I could contact?

[missneworleans]

Russian billiard is probably the most common in ukraine...maybe not so common but we've got the best results in this discipline
