Custom Made Cue - Comments Please

[robertmac]

Thanks everyone.

I have just emailed Andy for a quote and I am also interested
in the Exquisite cues if they are within my budget.

I am open to any suggestions too of course as I do want this
to be my final cue.

...as I do want this to be my final cue.

famous last words!
as you have only recently joined TSF and have not gotten the "cue-bug", I am sure we will let you off

Good shout Dean lol.... Got a jawes coming myself...

Haha you guys are comical indeed.

Just a bit of background. I started playing snooker at age 16 and immediately
loved the game and played it into my mid 20's. Then I got away from it as
snooker is declining sadly here in Canada. I did play a fair bit of pool with my
son and its only been a year since I got back into snooker. I am now retired
(64 yrs old) and adjusting to the 6x12 snooker table with my trusty old 'pool'
cue (21 oz x 13mm) and just last month I bought an inexpensive snooker cue
(18 oz x 10mm) has been a challenge. I can still have a break of 6 blacks or
5 blacks or 6 blues but they are as rare as hen's teeth. Usually my game is less
than ideal and a black and a pink looks good LOL.
I have been working hard on my stance, aiming and the basics so I thought it
time to buy my 'last cue' sort of speak.
I am indeed a snooker lover and get out 4-5 times a week and hopefully keep
loving it and improving.
This is a great place to get useful information so thank you all.
Robert

Send me a pm. You'll get a custom from me for that range.

Food for thought.

You can trust Andy! Great service!

Beg to differ. My experience with him have proved otherwise.

I am giving a lot of thought to saving some money and
buying a custom made cue in the 150-200 BPS price
range.

My requirements are unusual but its what I want.

length 57" 3/4 with 16" butt
weight 20-21 oz
tip 11.5mm
butt fitted for screw-in extension
butt plain black

Adding on shipping will increase the final cost.

I am considering a Peradon cue.

Any comments / feedback would be greatly appreciated
as there may well be other cue makers I need to consider.

Thanks
Robert

Raymo would be a good option as well as Ritchie here who makes mac cues. Jim evans as well. If u prepared to wait i could sort u a cue to your specs and design come january next year.

[robertmac]

Thanks for your reply as I am still looking at all my options.

Like I mentioned I want this to be a great cue for me.

I dont know who makes cues here so if you could let me know their
usernames I could PM each of them. I so far have 3 members here
(you are the 4th) who have shown their interest.

I came across a mention of a Lance Lenth who makes cues in Canada, as to whether they are pool and/or snooker, budget,mid,exclusive; I do not know.
No known website or contact details, TSF member Slasher was the person who mentioned this cuemaker, he(she) may have more details.
Cheers

[robertmac]

Thanks I will check out the suggestions.

I forgot to mention that the cue needs to be made of ash.

[allanr5]

Did anyone find any more about Lance Lenth doesn't appear to have a website kinda curious we don't have a lot of custom cuemakers here in Canada that I know of " individuals that is" I'd appreciate any info on this man or any other independants in Canada always trying to expand my horizons with cues, you would think we'd have lots considering we produce some of the finest ash and maple in the world but the more I study it the more I realize its a very hard gig to get into, man when I retire I'd love to apprentice under a master cuesmith just for the pure pleasure of being to make your own quality cues It's nice to dream oh well back to reality bye !

[robertmac]

I am new to this site so I dont know how to PM the person who posted
about Lance.

Snooker here in Ottawa has been dying off the past several years which
is sad and there is only one pool hall now which actually has proper 6x12
snooker tables.

If anyone knows of a cue maker in Canada please let me know.

Thanks
