not been playing mega long, but the £50 mbs cue im using isnt that good

this is what im currently using :

MBS Machine Spliced 2 piece Cue


This is a medium weighted, 2 piece snooker cue with a 9.75mm tip.

It has a genuine machine spliced hard wood butt, with an ash shaft and matching grain.



It is an ideal first cue for players just taking up the game who do not want to commit themselves yet to the more expensive models.

Cue Format 2 piece mid-joint
Tip Size 9.5 mm
Weight Medium
Will accept Mini-Butt No
Will accept Blueray Telescopic Extension No but will accept Extenda

With a budget like that mate you could order a custom cue!!

Try Mastercraft, or call Stu at Greenbaize and see what he has.

Definetly wouldn't buy any of the 2 you were thinking of
Ring Stu and ask him what GBL cues he has in stock, you will get a really good one for that money

i thought custom made cues are more in the region of £00-500?
depending who makes it?

yep.. you're right.. depending on who makes it..
There are many choices around. You can try Omin, UT, mastercraft, GreenBaize... etc etc..

[jrc750]

All Mastercraft cues are made exactly to what you want

Maybe not the very top quality you can get, but for the price its hard to argue against

Well you can get a custom made Trevor white for a little bit over £300. Or a very good 2nd hand one.

Have a word with ADR147 on here, or Stu at Green Baize as well as contacting Dave Coutts as he deals in a few cues.

just looking at them now, impressed so far, and and reasonably priced.

[Wright Cues]

Thanks,
I do try to keep my prices as low as I don't have the overheads, fortunately for me and my customers I work from home.
Hope it has helped you.
