I read earlier that Mike will do brass for you although he recommends the blackspin.

Does anyone know if there is an option to order a MW cue without the blackspin ferrule? Looking on his website it doesn't look like it?
To be really honest, this would put me off buying a MW cue! Top players have come this far using ash/maple and brass. Maybe when players in the top 128 start using cues with different ferrule materials we might all see it differently. But as far as I am concerned, if it ain't broke....!
That said, I have every faith that Mike knows what he's doing. Nobody would doubt he abilities at making fine cues, but without the opportunity to at least try a cue with the black ferrule, who's to say for sure it would suit/improve their game. I don't like the look of a black ferrule personally. I am one of those guys who obsessively keeps the brass ferrule polished and looking its best. Not sure I am ready to sacrifice that for what might (or might not) be improved playing characteristics. Sounds like a gamble!

Thanks

I have only seen positive reports on the blackspin cues.
Of course some have said it took them a while to adjust but most average players probably wont notice much specifically because of the ferrule, only like getting used to a new cueUp the TSF! :snooker:
