Welcome.
Maybe you can read deeper into the earlier thread or search threads regard the 2 brands.

I think you are the first one from Vietnam.

thanks, i'm glad to know

snooker is not that popular in Vietnam, and it is impossible to find a good snooker cue, if any, in billiards shops

I've done some searching but cannot find much info.

Will Hunt is the connection:snooker:

Maybe someone like ADR can share some in-sight to their connect & history?

1. Hunt + O'bryne = Hunt makes cues, O'bryne take care of business side of things

2. Hunt - O'bryne = Will Hunt Cues

3. Hunt + Osbourne (previously worked at Hunt O'bryne) = Hunt and Osbourne

Nice bro.

What about Robert Osbourne cue?
When did Robert come into the pic?

Willy , Robert Osborne had been on his own for a number of years before Will Hunt joined . He was first in Surbiton , Surrey then he moved to Tooting , South London . I think i bought my first cue off him at least 12 years ago when he was in Surbiton.

No wonder you are on good terms with Robert.

Thks alot Neil, for the information.

Willy , The guy is very easy to get on with . Top bloke and he puts a fantastic tip on . As well as making quality cues .
I might try to twist his arm and make me a blackplate next year .Fingers Crossed .

i am also confused about this,is Huntcues.com Will Hunts website as on the site it is advertised as hunt and o byrne but when i asked about a custom made black plate cue the girl didnt seem to know what i meant but it could have been my irish accent!!!

so basically Hunt is still associated with both O'Byrne and Osborne as well as making his own cues?

Happy New Year!!!

It appears to me that only Hunt & Osborne has red, green, black plate cues.

That website has no connection to Hunt & Osborne or Hunt & O'Byrne, that should explain why there was some confusion.
