My Custom Mastercraft Review

[Deepscrew]

The cue looks awesome, what variety of wood is the butt made from?

Its Thuya Burr. Some of the best figured burr ive ever seen. Alot nicer than i could have hoped for!!

As for playing, it is such a powerful cue its almost silly! Played a straight brown that was right on top of the D screwed the white back into the opposite side middle bag! Never done that before or even come close! I cant decide which to use going forward, this or my unclevit. Both stunning looking and playing cues....

I ordered a Black Prince from mastercraft 5 weeks ago and can't wait to get it! Will post a review as soon as I can.

So after much farting about, this cue comes a close second in my choice of which to use. Having two cues just confuses me and will make me switch back soon im sure if i still have it, weak willed you see!

So if anyone on here fancies buying this cue, drop me a pm with an offer.

57.5''
18oz
29mm butt
1 piece

Cue only no extra's. Trackable postage usually 24 hour delivery on weekdays, include £15 in your offer for this.

Any questions just ask.

Which is it you're selling? The Mastercraft is a sweet cue. I'd love to buy it, but think the mrs would kill me if I did.

If you're still selling it after xmas I might have to take it off your hands......

[Deepscrew]

The Mastercraft yeh. I dont want to sell it but i will keep swapping cues which is not good!

I'm due to go there very soon to order my new cue. Could you give me an idea of price of that lovely looking wand.

I custom ordered a maple cue with 4 secondary splices and the total was 195 quid. With a custom badge, mini butt, talisman tip, cue craft case and shipping, I spent 290 on the cue. Very affordable considering the excellent quality and the 4-6 week wait (very low compared to 40 weeks with TW and RC).

The cue I ordered has the following in terms of appearance:

Maple Shaft
3/4 Jointed
Purple Heart Butt
4 Jet Black Ebony Secondary Splices
Pale Blue Veneers over the Ebony

If anyone is interested in seeing pictures of the cue when i take delivery of it in a week's time, please let me know and I will post them. Dave sent me some pictures of the cue in the various stages of manufacture and it looks fantastic.

Already posted in the other mastercraft review thread but I'll post here as well.

*Dave's got the specs pretty much spot-on.

Received mine today just in time for christmas. However, the butt was damaged slightly during shipping. You have no idea how upset I am. The key to the cue craft case was put on top of middle portion of the butt, why would someone think that is a good idea is beyond me. The case obviously got thrown around during shipping and the key very nicely dug into the butt. The cue craft case also has a section for chalks, put the key in there! Anyways, I played with it for a bit and Dave has done a fantastic job with the cue. I will email him about the damage and if he handles the situation fairly, I am a customer for life. I'll keep you posted as to what Dave says when he gets back to me.

I will also post pictures of the cue and the damage within the next few days. Again, can't go wrong with these guys, fantastic cue. Pity for it to be damaged during shipping.

Went to see the boys myself yesterday and ordered a custom cue from them. Great guys who have the time to talk to you and dont rip you off with rediculous prices like some. Just the wait now to see the final results. Will post pics when I've got it.

[Deepscrew]

Good to hear. Im sure it'll be a good'un! What have you ordered woods wise?



Has your issue been sorted AKB?

Yes, very much so, thanks for asking. Dave got back to me yesterday. "We will always correct any damage issues with the cues we build." He told me to ship the cue back to him to fix and that he'll reimburse the shipping cost etc. Very nicely handled. I am going to keep the cue with me and not send it for repair as the damage is only cosmetic. I am at a loss for words as to how well the cue is made. Just fantastic. I've already managed hit a 70 with it. Good stuff. I'm ordering one for my father in the coming weeks.

[Deepscrew]

Good stuff...

''i like my set up, dont want to get too big and have to employ lots of people. Just me and chris and thats how we like it. I just dont think any cue should cost £450, i dont want to rip people off''.

if thats their true moto then he is just not a good craftsman but a genuinely good person as well but with this moto they will struggle to stay in business, he is so many good reviews obviously he will be flooded with orders. so either he has to employ more people or increase his price, no more free mini butt.... things are changing already..... lol
