Got any pics of it?

And specs would be nice , please Trevor .

Supposedly the previous NorthWest cue was short (55/56"), light (~16oz), slim butt (~28mm); so it would be interesting if John Higgins has gone for anything different?

Funny because I think sometimes that he makes the cue look like it weighs a ton. He's one of my favourite players though.

Because when he done it he got a piece chopped off the end of the butt and a couple of days later had it glued back on. So it either made no difference or made things slightly worse, in his mind at least.

Theres also the fact that soon after he went to John Parris to have a cue made, so its obvious that chopping and adding bits didn't work.

Oh ok, my recollection was that he took an inch off the tip and added an inch to the butt.

Thanks Neil I had missed this while on Holiday.Still trying to track Graeme down as has been everywhere from China to every golf course in the land,but I will ask.

The question on everyone's lips though is Trev, did he pay you for it or did you give it to him for free?

It doesn't appear to be a question anyone else has asked, but yes, it was paid for and yes, at the same price it would have cost anyone else. In fact, he was pretty insistent that he paid for any and all adjustments made also, to both this cue, and the first one I made for him. However, I was equally insistent that I wanted no payment for that, and that's how it was left.

I hope you charged him extra for putting the arrows on backwards!!

Yes, and I have no problem with anyone seeing it, but, I have no idea about uploading images here and don't intend spending the time to find out.

Fair play to you Trevor. So he had 2 cues made up then, same spec or different? What things was he specific about, I guess he is a fussy character as he's always altered his cues in the past? What kind of shaft did he want?

I hope you charged him extra for putting the arrows on backwards!!

Haha. Yeah. I don't know JH does it.. I'd be completely lost if the arrows didn't point towards the ferrule on my cue.
