Is this cue any good?

[redblackredblack]

Hi, as some of you may of gathered from my other threads, I am currently looking to buy my first cue.

I was just wondering if anyone has used this cue before and if so what is it like?

The other cue I have been thinking about is this, as while it's only £70 I read a post on this forum saying it was very good value.

Which one are you talking about because the john parrott one says it's hand spliced. These cues in these pictures look fairly good I suppose, but how much are they and are they new or used? Thanks.

all the cues in the pics ADR has put up are handspliced, and he is extremely knowledgable and an all round good bloke when it comes to buying cues and bits from.

if ADR says its good or not then take his word for it, hes been in the game for years

lol ty -these are all handspliced but some of them are rosewood not ebony but still look the part and all are decent cues. they are around the same money as the first one.

When did I say the cues in his pictures were not handspliced...? ADR said the cue I linked to was not handspliced. Now I don't know which one he meant as I linked to two cues, but if the first one he is wrong as it is handspliced, that's all I was saying. All I want to know if whether or not these two cues (the ones I have linked to) are decent. I have now looked at ADR's range and they are good but out of my budget.

chill your boots off a bit, all i said was all the cues ADR has in the same price range as you were looking at were handspliced...

the first cue you linked IS handspliced, the second one is not, which ADR stated was not worth the money.
