      Same, I was fortunate enough to start collecting ( inadvertently ) TW cues from June 2011 onwards. Now have 3 ( 2x 26 mm butt and 1x 27mm ), but fortunately for me the 2 slimmer cues are almost identical in feel and a perfect replacement for my JP 'slim'. Just took me a while to get there LOL.

        Great cuemaker to deal with, very responsive to email queries. Got my very first UK quality cue from him, it was well worth the wait. Affordable compared to other makers and quality is top notch.

        For budget comparison you can request for a quote of a plain ebony butt from various cuemakers and you can have a very good idea about the price difference. Would surely order another cue from him if I ever needed one to replace my current RC.

          Thanks John, I did look at his website and I'd say he's a minimum of a hundred pounds less than other cue makers, given the renowned quality of his cues. If they're as good as a JP ultimate, he's many hundreds of pounds less.

            Not to be rude if you have or had 4 already why would you want another three, are u a collector or do you actually play with them.

            what has happened to the notion a cue is for life.

            if it were me and had a the perfect cue for my game, i wouldn't dream of changing it unless it got damaged.

                I have my perfect cue and I am not changing it. I just love his work and I love purchasing new cues of him.
                You cannot improve your game if you don't have a cue and snooker table
                BTW vucko means wolfie

                    Robin Cook could be an option for you too. Costs less, about the same waiting time and according to some, the same level of quality, and great service.

                      Had a look at the two TWs Andrew is selling. Just a few too many chevrons for me (I don't use them to sight, I just find too many offputting, don't know why) and a bit light, so Trev would have to reweight it, not sure how much it would cost, but a wait would be in order I guess?

                        I had a look at at mates of mines cue from RC. Member here "Stick'. A maple cue. Must say it was an impressive piece of work with dead even splicing top and bottom and very good quality ebony and maple.

                          Pleased to say that after a 55 week wait ( !) my 3/4 full cocobola Robin Cook cue should be with me tomorrow
                          Complicated story but had the option to also buy a plain ebony one piece at the same time, so jumped at the chance (top one)
                          Hopefully one of my neighbours will be in to accept package and i can try them out tomorrow night, and give a proper report

                                Not sure mate, as I'm not sure my current spec is spot on. I ordered it in the belief that this size would be ideal, but I'm not sure anymore, e.g. tip size, butt size and shape, etc. What have you got?
