It's new cue time!

[CueAntW147]

Some confusion in this thread i think, BW Billiards at Cradley Heath ( Dean & Yvonne ) are good to deal with and they make a decent cue, only thing i've noticed is the tapers can be a bit chunky, but that said sure you could specify slimmer if you wanted, so easily sorted.

The other B & W ( Burroughes & Watts cues near Sutton Coldfield ) who have no connection with BW Billiards, the cues from here can be very poor quality and the service not always great.

But as long as people are talking from their own personal experiences good or bad from any company/maker thats all that matters really.

I for one look forward to seeing it. Nefver seen one of thier's so be interesting to see how it compes to the other lower cost makers i.e. mastercraft mainly.

A lot of players in my league use B & W Billiards cues, have to say they are all superb cues. I went up to the warehouse when i was purchasing my new cue about this time last year, saw a lot of their cues and spent a good hour or so chatting to the guys there. Have to say they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable, i ended up leaving my old cue with them to be shortened by an inch and re-tapered and finished, the job they did was superb. The only thing that stopped me getting a new cue off them was the price, they are not cheap but are still very good value for money. However they are not quite as unbelievably brilliant value for money as the Andy Travis cue i ended up buying, bargain of a lifetime!

Good to finally see some positive comments. Lol

I think you need to go and read my first post again. I didn't ask for anybody's opinion.

I said I'd been looking about for a bit, and that I was going to B&W.... I'm telling you something, not asking a thing.

Perhaps given your subsequent comments regarding the ambiguity of your op, it is you who should read things twice before posting.

My only dealing with B&W was positive, bought one of their triple cases, very well made if somewhat heavy.

Yes that's right. I have taken on board this advice and will be more careful in future.

Thank you.

Ok. Thanks everyone. I've made a terrible decision. I won't look forward to my cue being made and when it is finished, I'll post pictures of my badly made, poor cue as soon as I can.

not a terrible decision if you're happy with it, from what I've read on this forum so far, its just experienced folk looking out for one another, that's all. Trying to possibly guide you, since I've started playing the game again i decided to get a posh cue made up, BUT GOING By WHAT OTHER FOLK HAVE SAID.... I've bought perhaps a 'lesser known' cue from a maker on this forum, and i do not regret my choice.... I would trust most of these folk ive never met before than trust 'the expert at the snooker hall'.... I'm just saying.......

It's new cue time!

Anyone actually like the design of my cue?

Or not like it?

I don't care either way. I'm just asking because it's a forum and I want some random people to say they like it, and some to say they don't.

Cheers

Yep i like the design very much nice and simple, but very effective

Good Day,
I like your design, was wondering if they accepted your pictures when you ordered your cue. Also was wondering how you designed your pictures, what program.?

Hi,

Don't know what you mean by accepted? I just said that's how I wanted it to look and they said OK.

I went on the John Parris cue website and used the cue builder thing on there to design it (not my idea. Someone else had done it before).

Cheers, I should have said taken or took the pictures.

Well, my cue should be done this week.

I went in to see it this weekend and it's looking perfect! The grain looks lovely!

So hopefully should be finished and I can collect this week!
