          Sure.

          I have a JP paragon, Trevor White, Dave Coutts, Master cue, O'min...and had many more in the past. From 8/2008 my playing cue is Northwest cue. in terms of playability, it's the best one I've used: stiff but with great response, the "feel" is second to none and its perfectly balanced.

          As you know it's very personal thing, but many of my mates who have tried the cue, just loved it and as A result ordered cues from Kev. few of them were playing with JP, Glover, Robin Cook, Master cue, O'min etc. Not saying these cues are bad (some of them are great), but the Northwest really stands out in terms of the playability and feel. but once again, it's very personal.

          There are 2 things that could be better: 1. attention for details such as even splices 2. the finish - cant compare to TW cues but I did some work on the cue and it's great now. Cue specs are: 3/4 stiff ash, 58", 18.25 oz. 9.75 mm tip, 30.25 butt, taper on the thick side (like most of his cues which I really like), BALANCE POINT AT 17"

          Hope it helps.

          PS
          Kevin just sent me 2 more cues 2 days ago for 2 friends of mine. they should be here tomorrow. will let you know how are they.

              Kevin told me he will be back on Monday. if you email him he will get back to you. Kev is a top guy and very helpful. In my opinion, you better contact him directly, as you can ask him for the exactly specs you are interested in

                    well i dont mind about the price if its a top quality playing cue (i can play my whole snooker carrer with)

                    but since im not sure to order a northwest or a stamford cue im looking for the prices and maybe some experiences with both cues from users here on the forum.

                            It's not how it looks but how it plays...:-)
