Makers own cues

[acidash]

Ummm.....im guilty of using someone elses cue....One reason....i cant decide what i want!

I use a Mike Wooldridge at the minute. But I really want and should have one that is my own.

Kind of like your candidness. I don't find any problem with that. In fact, I reckon a good cue maker should be adventurous to try out other competent cue makers cues. If I was a cue maker, I'd use someelse cue who I admire then I'll try to find some ways to improve it or at least alter it to suit myself even better. I don't think it's guilt for a cue maker to possess / play with others cue at some stage

Hi Guys,
What a good question, well im a cue maker "Wright Cues" and i use my own cue.http://www.wrightcues.co.uk/images/Wright%20cue.jpg
The cue is called "Wright cue" as you see on my website.
It is 58.75 inches in length, 30mm dia butt,18oz in weight and 9mm tip.
The cue is ash, ebony spliced with four, 3.5mm paduk veneers finished with four birds eye maple facings, and i love it, it feels like my right arm. Before this one, again one of my own 3/4 cue, plain ebony butt, same spec. Someone offered me to much money for me to refuse, so i sold it.
Before i started to make cues many years ago, i had a John Parris 3/4 "special cue", plain ebony butt, it had a 7.5mm tip 58" in length, 29mm dia butt, 17oz in weight.
Guys there are some great cue makers in this country, some are more expensive than others because they have more overheads than others. Shop around and get a good rapport with them, i know myself i like to have a good old chat with my customers and i break my back side to help them.
I hope i've answered the question. Happy cueing,:snooker:
Cheers Reg
