Cue choice

[milla020]

Im looking to get a hand made cue and have a budget of 300 max for everything (case and extensions). Any ideas on cue makers and advice on what sort of cue I could get for that price etc.

Thanks

your not going to get a new cue, case and extensions for 300 from any of the top makers they charge around 300 just for a plain 3 quarter ash and ebony cue. if i was you try stu at greenbaize cues his gbl cues are as good as any i have owned 3 myself and he does some great deals give him a ring he has just got his 3 quarter new batch in too so he should have plenty to choose from.

Thanks for the responses guys. I know I wouldn't get a top one and I'll look into them and see what they can do for me. I've seen Dunns cues but I've heard that their cues aren't the best?
Thanks.

Dunns cues aren't the best. They are far from the best.

You could always get a T W etc and a cheap case for now and extentions later as i dont think they are essential , If you did want the full package you will have to look hard to beat GBL cues for quality and value for money and you should get the whole package for your budget .

that is very solid advice - i don't even own extensions for my cue.

ive just bought a 1 piece Green Baize cue fronm Stu Green and i can honestly say its probly the best cue ive played with for a long long time, the cue is very well crafted and perfectly balenced. i think if you get the chance then buy a GBL cue, if the demand for gbl cues grows then the prices will go up so get one now at a reasnable price

Seen quite a few GBL cues in my club, as we are not far from Greenbaize, and everyone looks really well made, cant go wrong with them really, unless of course you want the badge snobbery of a Parris

You can get some beautiful O'Min cues through Unclevit here on the forum or go for his new 'C' brand of handmade cues which look to be top notch as well.
Check his profile and look through his postings for some recent cues from him, the workmanship looks to be fantastic.
You could get the cue, case and extensions within your budget easily.

Here is pictures of a custom cue that I have ordered from him for my father.
It looks great and has taken only around one month to make.
Just waiting for it to be posted out.

That looks very nice gem....is that bloodwood ???
Are you allowed to say how much for cue alone shipped to UK ???

It is actually a brighter coloured Cocobolo and I was delighted how it turned out.

I would rather not say the price but if it plays as good as it looks then it is fantastic value.
You could easily have a custom cue with extensions and buy a case for the O.P's budget.

I think once this brand gets more recognised the price will increase a bit.
