i would prob say go for a master cue very nice cue and best for that kind of money have alook at green baize

From personal experience i would recommend craftsman.

Think the mastercraft plain ebony is only £140 including mini butt so that could be worth a look.

Do u know the spec u need?

A lot may depend on how long u willing to wait as gbl and craftsman have stores and hold loads of stock cues in all sort of specs.

How long would it be if i were to order a mastercraft cue?

Are they better then craftsman???

[jaffa.johnson]

Erm, depends on ur splicings. I would say about 4-6 weeks.

I have never owned a mastercraft but enquired a few times and think the service at craftsman is better.

Its much of a muchness and a matter of my opinion though. If u research both companys on here then u will find they very similar reviewed and that is both very good value for money.

What spec cue are you looking for?

Where abouts in the country are ya?

I'm from Luton, Beds

looking for a 3/4 joint

about 18 - 18.5 g weight

just seen black prince mastercraft cue with aluminium case for £165. is that value for money?

Well...being from Leeds myself I have had quite a few dealings with Dave and Simon at Craftsman and have found their service to be top notch at all times. However, if you don't fancy a "new" cue, why not try to pick up an older one to your own specs from ebay maybe?

[jaffa.johnson]

Erm,

Depends on condition of the cue I would say. A new cue is £140 and you can pick up an alu case on ebay from £35 so u do the maths.

Maybe wait to see if anybody else responds on here, they might have a cue in your spec at a good cost.
