Jason Owen - Cue Guru Cues

[viv0147]

How times change when I bought my cue on my 14th birthday the most expensive cue available was a Joe Davies and that was £8 which was much too expensive for me! So I bought a Permac one piece maple cue which cost me in old money £2-19s-11p 51 years later I am still using the cue so quite good value but I have a feeling the warranty has run out.

Love stories like that, so how many balls has your cue potted in its lifetime?

I remember buying an old Burroughes watts cue from a guy who was 90+ years old and he showed me a row of teeth marks in the lower shaft where it was bitten by a dog who had chased him after he was leaving a club back in 1940 something. Great history.
And yes, I probably did give him £3 for it and sell it for £60 the next day..!! (I didnt, wasnt actually worth £3)

Made this cue for Billiards Boutique. I will be supplying them with 1 cue a month, made to my own choice of design, so if you want one of my cues but dont want to wait then visit their website. *They are on holiday for a week so give it a week.

Does anyone know if this got listed on their website?
Also what sort of prices are they going to be asking for the cues you're providing?

Jason: What is the price for these cues & what is the spec: Length; Weight; Butt diameter; Tip diameter; 3/4 or 1 piece; Balance point. etc.

I'm not sure if it made it to his website or sold before then.
Prices are up to them to charge but please remember its pretty much the only way you'll get one of my cues off the shelf.

Just listed Cue 114 on ebay

It has a cracking front splice of Tulip, very nice figure. Also has a cracking shaft.

i've got number 74 from jason, its no doubt that its one of the nicest cues i'd ever played with, point in fact i sold off my other cues after playing a few weeks with it.

[diggert]

Hi all ,
I got my new cue no 76 , just a plain ebony and maple cue ,nothing fancy ,workmanship right up there with the best plays well what more can you ask for . Thanks Jason keep it up ..

[willtyson]

I've just managed to buy cue 114 and eagerly anticipate its arrival. Will give my thoughts when it arrives, but if it plays as well as it looks then I'm going to be very happy hopefully.

[JasonOwen]

Will, Cue has been sent, 'should' be with you Weds.

[JeeSe]

Hey Jason are you able to make a 6 inch mini butt extension for cue 45? I think you used a 1klik joint? drop me a pm please

Hi, I'd just like to share a few thoughts on Jason's work. Firstly, the wood choice on cue 114 is sublime. Lovely well configured tulip wood, jet black ebony (this is an overused phrase, but in this case it really is jet black), and the ash looks outstanding. All the splice points are spot on (I mean SPOT on) and it's a very nicely balanced cue in the hand. The finish is perfectly smooth and from top to bottom the cue was entirely blemish free. The ash is a lovely stiff piece and the cue felt far more powerful than any other cue I've had in the past. If you want a top quality cue, easily comparable with the like of Parris, Wooldridge, White, Coutts etc at a very good price then Jason is the guy for you.

Note the fact I'm not getting paid to say these things haha, it really is just a lovely cue.

Does anyone know if Jason is still taking custom orders? Ive tried to contact him twice. But not had a reply

[RogiBear]

Likewise, I'm not sure. I contacted him initially a couple of weeks ago with reply. But haven't received anything since then.
