Cue Guru 020 Review

[jaffa.johnson]

Here it is guys.

The first cue guru maple cue and I have to say its everything I asked for, the craftmanship is top draw. I paid Jason long ago for the first maple cue and there was a bit of delay in making due to my high expectation level, the search for macassar, the first planed down maple not being up scratch (visible marks) and more.

Cue is brilliantly balanced, brilliantly finished and the feel is better.

The splicings are very good, the selection of macassar is a dream, The taper of the cue is straight and round.

I seen cue guru 3 and it played very well but notably you could see and feel that it wasnt perfect. I dont have the same feeling for cue guru 20, my cue is as if Jason has been making cues for years and he could very easily be charging more.

Many thanks Jason Owen.

Not trying to be critical, how to define no visible marks on the maple shaft? there are clearly tons of grain lines on the shaft, and from my experience of a maple cue, it would be possible to be better than that. Just interested to know

You obviously have the grain lines but with maple you can get blemishes in the wood such as brown marks etc. These probably have no impact to the way a cue plays but I wanted one with no marks.

I remember having a conversation with craftsman recently and they say they waste 40% of the maple they cut due to it not being good enough.

I sold the cue to sellerlast week, providing they havent damaged it then the cue is in mint condition and maybe worth a buy.
