As a Christmas experiment,why not remove the brass joint,glue in an appropriate sized dowel ( ramin,if you can get it) therefore converted to one piece ( job would cost pennies) and use it as your "punchbag" until TW arrives.Just a thought,All the best for xmas and the New Year.

Hi oldschool I've managed to remove all of the broken joint without damaging the cue any further. What I would like to do is put a new joint in. Do you or any members know where I can Buy a 3/4 brass joint. Failing that do you think if I took the shaft to a cue maker that He could splice on a new butt and make it into a one piece?

Andy Travis was advertising joints and a joint fitting service, £20 + postage,fitted by return of post if I remember.He also does splicing,why not give him a bell.Craftsman charged me £21 + postage ,in Jan 2010,for converting a one piece to a 3/4 inclusive of jointing (bargain) you could call them as well.Hope this helps.If you need contact details I can provide them easily.Good luck Caz p.s. I still think evostick Resin W and a ramin dowel would do the job and save you money,New Year project ??? Lol.

Hi old school I would like both contact details if you have them.
I found the exact joint I looking for on a site called made in china.com. But I don't think they sell singles, baulk order only I'll see if I can get the picture up....

As some of you might known I've been changing my cue a lot lately and recently brought a JP exclusive. I just couldn't play with it and returned it today.
I picked up an elite, I have to say it was the worse looking cue in the shop but was the only cue that I liked in the right weight range. John was very helpful and offered to make a new butt for the cue, I said I would see how I got on with it. Well I had a game today and have to say I'm really happy with the cue. I think I'll stick with this one for a while. http://s971.photobucket.com/albums/ae200/cazmac1/

Just goes to prove that nice looking cues aren't always what they are cracked up to be. Quite often plain or rather poor looking cues can often surprise people by how they play and looks like this is the case here with your cue.

Never judge a cue by its decorative splicing or even spaced chevrons on the shaft!!!!

Hi Cazmac1, When you say it was the worst looking cue in his shop, What do you mean freind? And what other model's does he have in store, Regard's George:snooker:

[cazmac1]

Hi GM, he's got quite a bit in and had some lovely cues but were either to heavey or to whippy. If you look at the butt of the cue you can see loads of spots, it looks like something has spilled on it. There is also a defect in one of the splices, which has been filled. But the shaft is first class and in perfect condition. This is what makes the cue after all, every thing else is just for show.

I was wondering when this thread would be brought to life again Peter

I like the look of the elite , similar to Mark Allens . Like the Chevrons on your cue as well .

Good luck with it mate .

Hopefully up for a re-match next month .

Had a game with the cue tonight and really struggled. It's not the cue in feels great. I managed a 59 so thats the bench mark for now. I found that I can play the del drive better with a 56 inch cue, my cue on order with trevor is 56 so I'm not going to do anything with this cue. Just play with it till TW arrives.

Sounds like it's time to move on cazmac

Hey Caz, everyone has off days, balls run awkward... I'm sure you'll have more good days then bad with it being the right length for ya.

Shock ! Horror ! Hold the Front Page .........Cazmac does not like his cue ....dramatic scenes in Shepherd's Bush as the hacksaw is once again seen being taken to a cue

Silly question Pete , but can't you put a piece of tape on the cue at the correct length of where a 56" cue would be and try that whilst waiting for your TW to arrive ?
