Hi all.
This is my new pool cue.
Its made from leftovers from 2 broken cues. Shaft section from a Peradon Atom and butt from a Cue Craft Falcon. I had the parts made up into a functional cue by the excellent Andy Travis.
As the Cue Craft butt was longer than the original Peradon I was able to specify the length and make it longer than the stock Peradon (55") at a more comfortable 57". I also had the tip size increased to 8.75mm.
EDIT: After checking my cue action and making some measurements Its actually 55" that is more suitable for me. Probably a lot to do with why I played so well with my mates cue!
Ive been playing with a freinds Peradon pool cue and found it to be just a tad too short and the tip a little bit too small for my liking. Hopefully my new 'custom' (lol) cue will fit the bill just right and improve my game. I absoloutely love it so far based on the photos Andy sent me, looks stunning and I cant wait to get my hands on it hopefully tomorrow morning or early afternoon (hurry up postie!).
I also want to add that Andy Travis has been truely fantastic to deal with during the whole process. He was prompt to reply to every email I sent dispite my many questions. His price for the work was very cheap and I didnt expect to see the cue completely re-finnished too for such a cheap price. When he sent me the photos I couldnt beleive my eyes! My freind was with me at the time and looking at the pics he was quite gealous! He didnt think anything could be done with his old bits of broken cue/s!
So here she is...
These are the bits I had to begin with, 250 quids worth of busted cue/s that I got for 40 notes:
The original Peradon butt had multiple splits and a bent join. Someone got angry then lol!:
I'll see if I can get some better photos of it once it arrives.
Thanks for looking
EDIT: Cue arrived this morning!!! Looks as good as it does in the photos. Feels like a much more expensive cue than the orignal parts were from too. Looking forward to using it!
