Jianying Billiards Snooker Cue

[Benward452]

Hey all, I am new to snooker and was just curious on your thoughts of this Chinese cue maker? I have never heard of them, but they seem to make decent product at a great price. Hopefully you guys have some opinions on it.

Thanks,
Ben :snooker:

Jianying is an averge cuemaker in China, not so popular at home. Cues are not exensive. But they spend a lot on sponsoring the pros, such as Macquire, Stevens or perhaps Dott as well. I wonder how can they recover these costs.

How recent?
And what makes you think its the best cue?

[Straight strike]

Blinky888, what cue have you played before?

Is your Jianying lacquered? I had tried one or two of theirs years before but they were not very impressive, don't know if they are improved. May visit their website though.

absolute piece of cr@p

Did you try it recently, sanman? Can you describe it in more details? I have tried one with checkers pattern, it looked ok but lifeless.

Are they around for quite sometime already or just recently. Never seen any of it, ever since I start playing snooker. But recently some snooker centre around my college is selling it. Price isn't too high but quality wise I'm not too sure.. ><

Order a dozen at one go?? Are you a cue trader in South Africa?

[Straight strike]

They have established for sometime, but not popular and not easy to find in large quantity at cue shops in China. I have never seen one in Hong Kong.

No

the prices quote was from 4 dollars to 62 dollars per cue from a particular range

so i just decided that if I did not get on with any of them I would sell them all

I thought wrong

they really sucked to the extent that I gave them away

i could not in all conscience sell any of them to anyone without the knowledge that i am selling defective stuff

At least their cue cases were not so bad

Sanman - for the price you payed did you really expect to get the quality of a £400 plus cue
You seem to have totally unrealistic expectations - i remember you slagged off Andy Travis's cues a while back, i bet it was a similar situation, ie you buying very low BUT wanting a Trevor White etc class of cue

not true
I pay good moneyfor what i get

I paid 300 quid for a MW cue
I bought 6 UT cues from unclevit
dont see me slagging them of do you
But crap is crap
in the case of andy travis I did give it away to Terry davidson
The thing is the cues I got from Andy were really bad and not worth what i paid for them and they were defective.

Well the UT cues wouldnt have been cheap (i guess) so these cues are in a totally different league to the "from 4 dollars to 62 dollars per cue" Jianying cues you have slagged off, so i say again -your expectations were far too high

Trust me they were really bad
I guess the lower priced ones were not all so bad but the ones priced 20 dollars and above were really bad I cud post some photos to show them I guess
will do so next week and you could judge
