What cue is Dale using in Australian Open?

[Straight strike]

The cue he is using looked very appealling to me. Can anyone tell what wood is used for the four lower splicies and could it be a vintage cue pls?

Is it tulipwood?

From another thread, someone has mentioned that they believe Dale is currently using an antique H&O, no information on the splices though.

I spoke to Doms Dad last week as he good friend of mine and he said Dom is Really trying to make a go of it and bought a flat near Gloucester to Practise Hard and try and get up the Rankings.

Hope you stick with 1 Cue then Dom and Dont keep Changing them like you have done most fo your Life!...lol

Never understand these people who always change their cues .........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The cue looks very classy and I like it a lot, have a look at his cue and tell me if the lower splicing is tulip should you have a chance pls. Dale really played well in Australia though he had been out. It's amazing that he can switch between ash and maple.

I had a look at his cue when I was in Gloucester but I can't say for sure if it was an 'antique H&O or not but it was definitely and H&O and while I was there Dominic went to O in London to get some work done on the cue (no longer H&O is it).

I think Dom has upped his motivation and dedication and I hope to see some great results from him this season and besides all that he's a pretty nice guy!

I didn't get to practice with him though as he was playing Ronnie in the Worlds and he preferred to practice late at night on his own in the Academy (he heard me walking on carpet in the hallway through a thick door so maybe he has very sensitive hearing and likes quiet surroundings when he practices or something)

Antique H&O - as in Hunt and O'Byrne?

[Terry Davidson]

Yes, most people have used H&O but now Will Hunt has left it's just O'Byrne so I guess it's just 'O' now

I had a blue plate with just Osbournes name on the plate.This was before Will re-joined the company.Perhaps he will go back to this style of plate now that Will has retired ?

I read in a post over a year ago that he was playing with a JP Mannock replica, so maybe that's what this is.

The recent broken up partner was Robert Osborne. Hunt&O'Byrne had been wound up in early 90's, some even said O'Byrne had died already(correct me if I'm wrong).
