Hi all just wanted to give you my feedback and experience from buying a new handmade cue from Raymo147. I understand he is relatively new to cue making well certainly was to me anyway. I saw his post with Maguire taking delivery of his cue so I thought I would contact him and ask if he could make me one. I have had most of the well known cue makers cues now so know a little about what's good and bad and what I like and don't like. When I contacted Raymond the reply I got was that he wasn't making any just now but he may have something depending on my specs that would suit. I replied with my specs and low and behold he had something as near to damn it that I was looking for. Pictures were sent straight away with a brief description of how it played as I wanted a real " player "of a cue and one that didn't throw too much. Raymond sent the price with a note saying this is a real cracker. I agreed the purchase Monday, I paid Tuesday and took delivery today Wednesday you can't ask for better service. For what I paid I wasn't expecting too much to be honest ( sorry Raymond ) but boy was I gob smacked it's brilliant ! The finish is as good as any I've owned and better than most, the balance is perfect, the splicings even, the shaft nice and stiff and the grain spot on with really nice chevrons on the top of the cue. I tried a couple of ultimates last week and this is equal to them in terms of quality, I just hope I can bloody play with it now. Thank you Raymond you deserve all the credit you get mate you're been a pleasure to deal with and the cue is superb.
