whats the longest youve waited......

[damienlch]

longest i waited was for my jp, around 5 months. these 10 months once ordered will be killer

Yup, the anticipation's killer, but just go for it... you're putting off the inevitable...

[Belloz22]

it will all be ordered im sure, just gotta clear up some design issues and wood choice

hey all, im close to having a potential 10month wait for a new cue..... so i was curious, wats the longest youve waited for a cue?

been waiting about 4 years for my new cues from trevor white - still waiting!

[cueman]

I was gonna start up a thread similar to this but asking who is currently waiting for a cue to made and how long have you got to wait for it?

As for me the longest wait was only 4 months for a cue off Dave Coutts years ago before he became more well known. He makes all cues from start to finish hand planed so is understandable.

10 years, waitied for me grandad to kick the bucket til i cud get his cue!

[Neil Taperell]

4 months for a Robert Osborne cue . Used to go in there every few weeks and see what stage it was at . Very interesting to see it from start to finish .

[jim evans]

[JasonOwen]

Im still waiting for my own Jason Owen cue, looks like its going to be quite a few months more yet before I can get on to my own cue.

8 months for a Robin Cook cue.

Ordered one from trevor white. Waited almost 11 months & communications were brutal. Waited a long time to get a cue not meeting my requested specifications. Tried to resolve but was ignored.

you dont have to be amazing to have cue made, im not amazing but always wanted a cue personally made for me, my design, specifications etc..... i appreciate the quality. shame my talent doesnt do the cues justice lol

2 years! For a Dan Shelton cue

[Cue and Table Mag]

That's still not much of a wait!

Are these custom cues you are talking about? If so, then the waiting time is dramatically less than getting a pool cue from a top cuemaker in the states. I've waited almost 10 years to get a South West cue, and am going on 13 for a Searing cue. There are also more than a few makers that have closed their books because their wait lists are too long.

I wonder if the makers of snooker cues are just far more efficient, or if there are just more top quality ones to get a cue from?
