      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?

            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.

                  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

                      obviously we have kyoo makers, people play cue sports in ukraine too. the only problem is that they dont make snooker cues.

                            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?

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