My brother is thinking about buying a Britannia cue, what folks thoughts on these? They any good and where do they come from, I've never heard of them, he just spent a lot on a cue not long ago, looks nice but is a bit of a stinker, he's a much better player than me to so im checking opinions for him....:-)

ADR on here sells them and I think he rates them quite highly, although I've never really had any experience of them from the reviews I've heard they're quite good value for money. Hope that helps"You have to play the game like it means nothing, when in fact it means everything to you" Steve Davis.

Britannia cues
Not sure where there from but have been around for a while.. I ve got 1 in the garage an a few mates have them and they re all pretty decent splicing and seem decent enough quality shafts so as long as you're not going over the £120-150 mark for it then it should be decent enough

Cheers folks, we were looking at one at the club we play at and it was bent, very bent, then we looked at another one and it was the same, I know it doesn't matter if cues go a little off over time but these were pretty bad, and they should be at least straight when you buy them? It was a lovely cue though, felt nice and had a nice finish on it , he was told that if he liked it they could order a new one for him...:snooker:

PS I see you've "clocked" the Exquisite Cues. Worth considering. Couple of the regulars at Locarno have them if you wanted a closer look.

Hello again Haggis. Are you still cue hunting? My mate made an 81 break last week with his new Andy Travis cue so he's convinced himself that that's the cue for him and hence he's looking to sell his Mastercraft Eclipse (3/4 maple). It comes with a mini-butt and a telescopic extension. He's looking for around £150 which might be a bit more than you're looking to spend but there would be no harm in looking and comparing to what else you can get for your money.

Hello Haggis. Was good to meet you and Scott yesterday. Your brother looked a pretty useful player. I hope he gets himself sorted out with a cue he likes. I've attached a photo of a Mastercraft Eclipse for you to look at but as the shaft is Maple it will be no good for Scott. I'll let my mate know that its Ash that your brother is after. Will bump into you again soon no doubt.Attached Files
