lovely cue that -
i thought that as well but didnt know if the price was goodComment

Looks a lovely cue 280 AU $ is about 190GBP so i would say in the current market place its probably worth between 120 - 140 GBP just my opinion.
These cues are also well regarded not just as a collectors piece but also as great playing cues for players who like the idea of using an old cue that is suitable for the modern game, in which case you may judge the price differently and pay a bit more.Last edited by CueAntW147; 2 July 2011, 10:47 AM.Comment

I think that price is ok considering that you don't see too many of these in Australia and to get one from UK would cost you an extra 60 quid in postage. I'd jump on it if I had the spare cash.Originally Posted by jay_j View PostTear up that manure-fed astroturf!Comment

Beautiful cue that really is. What a piece of burr and lovely looking shaft. Agreed with the price as well. I think they are usually around the 200 GBP mark, but perhaps price has gone down a bit now.Comment

The seller has 100%, so assuming the ad is accurate, the cue should b worth every penny, looks a stunner, not been messed with...Comment

Your right strange really these seem to have gone down in value yet you see Joe Davis 147 machine spliced cues worth about £50 sell for over £150 sometimes which is crazy, and everything else seems to have gone up especially the Burroughes & Watts stuff.Originally Posted by ADR147 View Post
I don't think people generally know enough about these cannons i know players that use them as playing cues so are worth buying from this point of view, as not many older cues are suitable for the modern game.Comment

This is something I posted in a different thread (can anyone tell me the shaft wood of this cue), based on talking with Andy Hunter about the Cannon Match cue range -
I think at the time Cannon produced their match cues in all kinds of wood available for cue making. I knew they made them in maple and ash, and my dad has one that is made in pear wood. (Its absolutely beautiful!), so it wouldn't surprise me that they did one in hornbeam. If anyone has a pearwood cannon match cue I'd definately be interested in buying it! (even though I have been promised dads when he retires fully or worse...
From what I understand, hornbeam is a supposed to be a pretty stiff cue, compared to the pear wood, which is supposedly "whippy", although I have had a go with both types (pear cannon, and a different make hornbeam) and there wasn't much difference. The pear wood cue was quite simply a beautiful cue to play with, although unfortunately I would never use it, as it doesn't "feel" right to me. I will never sell it.
Having spoken to Andy Hunter regarding dads cue, he advised me regarding the Cannon range, saying that the ash/maple would be worth around £150-£200 for a good condition cue, other wood types similar up to approx £250, and the pearwood cue value ranges from £200 - £300 for a collector, probably going higher (up to £400) for a player as they are extremely highly regarded as a playing cue if you have one that is straight.
Hope this helps.

Also ADR, next time you get a cannon match cue, can you let me know, as I may well be interested. I'd prefer Ash or Pear, but not overfussed about maple or other wood...If you want to play the pink, but you're hampered by the red, you could always try to play the brown!Comment

I played a couple of frames of pool with my Hornbeam Cannon Match yesterday, and it played really well. It was bit lighter than i'm used to but I soon got used to it. I think the tip's original......quite a soft tip, which felt so easy to stroke the balls in with. If I wasn't playing so well with my current cue i'd seriously consider giving this a go as my playing cue!Comment

So instead of using it to play that girlie game (pool) with it (this is sacrilage anyway. A Cannon match is far to beautiful to play that tarts game with), and instead of leaving it unused because you're currently playing so well with your current cue, you are just going to sell it?????............ :-)Originally Posted by DocJ View Post
