Leo, have a guess where Raymond learned his craft? I can't say I blame him as many businesses spend a lot of time and cash working out where their customers are, Raymond has just found where his are very early on

I have a exquisite and can't fault it.. the finish is right up there with Trevor White and Wooldridge cues.

It really is up there, the only reason people think cues from maker's like these "aren't premium" is because they are a newish outfit. Fact of the matter is he is the go to guy for scottish professional.

On a side note i have played a few frame's with one of the most expensive cue maker's cues and the difference is very negligible. Imo he is up there with some of the best

Hk$12000 for a black plate here in hk

I can tell you from experience that the exquisite i use is the best cue i have ever played with, wouldn't swap for anything.

My little brother plays with exquisite cues, Luke. Agree 100 percent. some are really good. Especially playblts. But in my opinion, the craftsmanschap of Uk cue makers (top cue makers, not all of them), is better.!!!. Although, the only cue which I think ,the craftsmanschap is the same as uk cue makers,, is GBL.!!! Anyway, I think it is personal preference.As long as you're happy with your cue, and it suits your game. That's the main thing. Snooker cue is something personal.

Can buy 2 TW cues ~~~~~~ 贵到 !!!!!!!

[Ramon]

Trevor is still quite young so he could still be making them in ten years time if he want , the same goes foe Mike . Theres plenty of makers who i would class as world class , Crispian , Jason , Andy , and a few others , perhaps Dan Shelton may make a come back

Thanks for your time Hotpot,

I hope you're right !!!!. A friend of mine bought a Trevor W cue. About 4 years ago. Trevar tok his time for this cue. Because he had to wait nine months. Last week, we were here with 4 other guys. 2 of them are in Cue bisns. For 20 years. They trade everywhere, someone like Andrew. We looked at the cue along with other cue made by Mike. ABOUT 2 HOURS. Just to find a single mistake. And I'm talking about a deviation of perhaps 1 mm. (Which you normally do'nt even see). And I tell you what, we could'nt find it !!!!!
It will be a shame if this ll ended in ten years.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no question that now he is the go to guy for the scottish pros but a lot of people don't know he used to a a pro player so he knows them all well.

not many cues by any maker are 100% but when they are they deserve the premiums.

in truth the thai makers are superb the difference is purely in the finish of the cues, the thai guys like a varnish finish and the uk makers all finish in oils.

A chippy mate who make bespoke furniture said if everything is 100% on cue, no deviation at all in splices etc its more than likely its machine made as its so hard to get that accurate. Dont know if its true but sounds reasonable.

what you saying is : the master cue that you buy on Ebay for £ 60,
IS 100 percent handmade?? Button and the shaft? Really believe that????
(I talk about craftmanschap, not playability. Because maybe he plays perfectly.)).
With all due respect, Andrew, but I do'nt agree with you.

Maybe that's one of the reasons,
you have to pay £ 1200 for a Black plate, RO.
Because it requires much more work.
I agree with you Justf,, it is not easy.!!!!!!
