higgins got a new cue

[Dave Walton]

Really nice looking cue Trevor, I'm sure John will be happy with it. Cocobolo is beautifull, probably my favorite for cues, smells nice too lol

On Eurosport now for those who have it and Higgins looks to be playing pretty well with it. Missed a couple of balls a bit thick, mainly over distance but seems to be potting well with it. It sounds lovely, a very crisp sounding hit, a bit how Neil Robertson's cue sounds when he plays. Looks to taper down quite narrow along the bridge down to the tip, narrower than his last cue?

Joe Johnson on commentary said that Higgins told him he felt that his old cue had come to the end of its life! Do cues really have a life span where they don't play as well or lose their spring feel? Seemed such a strange thing for a player to say considering the likes of Matthew Stevens and Shaun Murphy have had their cues since they were kids.

Just been watching on Eurosport. New cue seems much more powerful than cues he's had previously. John is getting tremendous reaction on screw shots with this one. It seems to be a cracker.

Will we ever find out the specs on John's new cue ??? any ideas anyone

Congratulations to TW for having such a high profile customer (even if I can't stand Higgins for what he did). TW deserves every success for making his cues from scratch, and doing so honestly, and properly. Not every so called British cue maker does. Glad to see someone who puts in the graft getting the rewards.

Dont think Trev will be shouting from the roof tops like other makers have done , even if John wins a world title with one of his cues , would be nice to hear John mentioning it though , not that Trev may be bothered but it would be nice .

It takes two to tango. At the very least he brought the game into serious disrepute. He received a ban. He didn't need to take phone calls or get on a plane. He could have simply put the phone down and immediately called the WPBSA and the police. He didn't.

From what I've read and heard, that's spot on. The man came on here and apologised to customers for delays, class. He was obviously busy making this stunning coco masterpiece! lol. He speaks well on here. If I ever meet the guy, I'll let him buy me a pint; I'm usually very choosy about this honour.

There are more great cue makers like him on TSF of course, people who do it for love first, money second.
