Andy Travis Cue ( My new purchase)

[denja]

i ordered a cue from andy about 2 weeks ago ish got a mail from him yesterday saying the cue is ready its a one piece maple 58in long 10.5mm tip 30mm butt 18.5oz in weight handspliced in african blackwood with a single thick maple veneer and a single front splice in whatever he had. i will post some pics when it arrives.

Bet you feel like its Christmas ! As a Andy Travis owner would love to see some pics and your review.................

Lol, a single front splice in whatever he had I'd be interested to see what turns up, sounds nice though. He works so fast mine was with me in under a week! Although that was a while ago, I think he's reputations built up a fair amount since then

talking to him last month he hates it when he's getting orders galore prefers to fin 1 and then get next order

i am more interested what the overall cue is like not realy bothered about the wood used in the splice i will be happy with a splice of rosewood. i have been watching andys cues for a few years now and they have defo got better from the pics i have seen on facebook and by other members on here i like the new badge he is using alot like robin cook cues.

If you're half as happy with your Travis cue as I am with mine...then you will be over the moon...Stuffed my mate 8-0 today with loads of high 30 breaks...and wasn't really trying...love my Travis cue, and when I purchase a new one...(don't tell her indoors) it will be another Andy Travis. Quality workmanship, great balance, nice stiff shaft...and he knocks them out as quick as you like....and best of all...very reasonably priced....What more can you ask for???

Looks real nice ! what was the spec ? If I ever ordered another Andy Travis think I would go with a real contrasting inlay I have the plain ebony model.

just been to the club for a quick knock so i will write a small review.

when i unpacked the cue i was amazed how solid the cue felt the weight is very well distributed through the whole cue it just feels solid from top to bottom. i will be honest i wasnt expecting it to be this good i have put it next to my ultimate maple and the only difference in the cues i would say is the quality of the materials. the maple shaft on the travis as some blemishes and those dark brown lines you get it maple and its more golden yellow like a old maple shaft where my ultimate is perfecty unmarked pure white maple. to be honest i prefere the travis i like the blemishes and little marks that make a cue unique. the splicing is very good so is the finish the african blackwood as turned out very nice it as more grain than ebony with browns running through it for a new cue it as a lot a character. the ferrul is fitted well as is the badge cant feel it as all all in all i am very happy with the cue i would say its more for the player than the poser a proper players cue. i will be using andy again and fully recommend him to anyone wanting a well made snooker cue.

sorry i didnt post specs 58in long 10.5mm tip 30mm butt 18.5oz in weight and all specs are pretty much bang on. the only thing i would have liked is the splices to be a little longer he only splices the butt 18in long where i do perfere a 20in butt.

thanks it plays superb its just my cup of tea very traditional looking cue the maple shaft looks 30/40 years old it as a lovely golden yellow colour to it

[willtyson]

Sounds great mate, from the day my cue arrived I haven't stopped recommending Andy he's craftsmanship is just outstanding! :snooker:

[safe t boy]

Could you please do some more photos of the cue in daylight if possible? From what I can see it looks great but I would love to see more of it please.

[willtyson]

Forgot to ask is the front splice kingwood? Looks nice whatever it is?

[ste bed]
