Top 10 Snooker Cue Manufacturers

[DeanH]

Quote from Dave coutts: Will Hunt cues are part made to Will's specifications and then finished off by Will himself.

From wills website: In line with many other UK cue makers Will Hunt employs highly skilled craftsmen to part make the cues overseas
Following a rigorous selection process with a significant number being discarded and using only the best grade the cues are then completed and finished in London by Will himself

yep, read all that ages ago...
I believe what I said is true unless someone sees Will at a work bench somewhere finishing off cues and reports as such
Nice to proved wrong though.

That's a good list. I have two GBL's and a Paris cue. All three are great cues. My next one on the list is a MW. Terry has one peice and loves it. I would really like to try a one peice Parris cue. Mine is a 3/4 but my one GBL that I ordered is a one peice and it defiantly has a real solid feel to it.

Yeh I only use 1 piece cues now, I really can't be doing with 3/4 cues but if I had to choose a 3/4 cue then I would use a Mike Wooldridge as his joints are great. I honestly couldn't recommend Stamford cuemakers highly enough, the shaft I got on my series 1 was absolutely spot on, the finish is genuinely 1 of the best I've ever felt and their customer service was brilliant

IMO these cuemakers are there at the top.

Forgot to mention Jeson Owen as the maple cue my mate had , was an example of high quality craftsmanship.

Gbl cues are top draw but if your after a english made cue in no particular order and I don't think anyone would disagree your talking trevor white, mike wooldridge, robin cook and dave coutts I would say are the 4 stand out cue makers.

Would certainly add Glover and Stamford , every Glover cue ive had have not only been spot on but great playing cues too .

Agree Defiantly glover & Stamford,never got a buzz for wooldridge cues maybe because they are way overpriced imo when you can get a cheaper better cue from trevor etc

i personally rate tony glover very highly and a good guy to deal with.

my brothers wooldridge cue was quite literally the best all round cue i have ever seen, expensive yes but if we are judging the cues on the cues there is no question mike is one of the very best.

A friend down the club play with a glover and it's gorgeous to look at and play with
