Just because they are on a UK based company's website does not definitively mean that Prime Cues are made in the UK.
They could be made in China, Thailand, Malaysia or somewhere else.
I am not saying that they are not made in the UK but would contact Craftsman directly to confirm their origin.

Can't see the badge, does it say "English" on there ??

And then...just becasue it is not made in UK does not necessarily mean it has to be inferior. :-D
The Thai cues on Craftsman's site are good cues for the money, too.
Stu also sells some cracking Thai cues on his Green Baize site.

oops, of course I did not mean to infer that non-UK cues were inferior
But if anndee1 wants a UK cue (quote "I will only buy english cues") he should clarify the origin first

thanks for info people.

Did you find out where they are made?

It does actually say "England" on the badge but that doesn't mean much really

ok here we go..........it does say england on the stick but on the shipping email from tnt,{the transport company}
it say they come from manila. So the cue goes from manila to, 51 high street, Leeds and then to Victoria, Australia where i live.
I think this is the way cue making is going..>Also alot of good cues come from Manila ,,MEZZ cues and ADAM cues are made there and they are top quality and are expensive cues.The Mika Immonen mezz cue $2000 ,google it I"m not joking.

But at the end of the day craftsman cues do not sell crap as i have bought from them before ,so when i get the cue in the next couple of days i am confident it will be great.
