Robin Cook 1 Piece Maple for sale

[alabadi]

Although it pains me to say i have a one piece Robin Cook Cue for sale

Dimensions

56 Inches length
9mm tip
30mm butt
17oz
17 inch balance

The cue has full cocobolo butt with a cocobolo front splice and thick maple veneer. The cue features perfect splices, ultra smooth finish (the best) a brand new Mike Wooldridge SuperTip and a stainless ferrule. The cue also has a stainless ring badge. This is the only Robin cue to ever have a stainless badge.

As Robin has suspended any orders for the foreseeable future and based on waiting time if you need a cue direct from him you are looking at least 2 years. so here is a chance to get one immediately.

i was reluctant to sell because its the best cue i have had to date, its straight , feel great and if it wasn't slightly on the short side for myself i wouldn't swap it for anything. i bought it in the hope i could play with a shorter cue than i was use to, all my previous cues have been 58" long so it was just an inch or so too short.

I am looking at offers around £300 or would consider swapping for a Trevor White 1 Piece or other if its worth it.

the cue comes with a black Metal case which could hold two 1 piece cues, or one with extensions the case has seen
better days 2 of the clasps are broken but could be fixed. the case is free and still is usable so its included.

What made you think you could get away with a cue a whole 2" shorter ????? i can notice a big difference with just 1/2"
Nice cue by the way

That is a cracking price , only thing not going for it are the specs , otherwise i,m sure it would have gone in minutes as its so nice .

Nice cue but another inch and about a millimetre and it would be much easier to sell.

The cue is beautiful , that's what made me buy it even though it was shorter . I thought because I don't hold my old cue at the end some two inches in I should be ok . Turned out I was stretching on to many. Shots which caused problems.

Ahh such a stunning cue, if it wasn't for the specs I would of bought it instantly! You don't often see maple Robin cues for sale either...shame it isn't a couple inches longer, but then again it wouldn't be for sale now would it ^^

Surely there is someone who plays with a 56" i would even think that you woulld get a way with it if you play with a 57".

i play with a 58" and can easily play with a 57"

although i managed to play with the 56" Robin most of the time it was just them shots that you have to stretch for gave me some problems.

saying that i contacted Robin Cook who said he could extend the cue a couple of inches for around £100 or so.
that could be an option if anyone is interested

from what i see, it does not have a butt joint for butt end extensions?

you're right it doesn't, however you could use the slide in type of extension or its easy to get one done if really needed.

i suppose having a brass joint put in would change the balance/weight slightly and is a personal choice
