Maximus & Niche (Thai's Cues)

I don't believe that have that kind of margin at all.. knowing what the mastercues actually cost compared to retail.

mastercues are not really cheap for traders any more either - i can remember when they were £50 but not now!

Ukrit had already a price list for european costumers when i was at his shop the first time back in 2005.
Pyragon was 190 Euro at that time...without any extensions.

i am going back before that.

I thought as much

Yes and I have had to pay myself several times to refinish cues, after they have been scatched and thrown
around by the customs !Im sure you have had this yourself Adrian?

joints fallen out, ferrules missing, deep scratches the lot - as a rule i allow 10% wastage on imported cues.

First impression of a custom cue nearly completed just waiting to be badged. This is not ultimate order, just custom cue with four splices of afzelia burl on thin maple veneer. Splice work looks decent. Never heard of afzelia burl before but looks like a cross between abmoyna burl and padauk. Will give more information once it arrives, but it looks promising.

Hi Jono,

How have you found your new maximus cue to play with? Is it as good as you had hoped or has it been a disappointment, that is if you've had a chance to test it out yet?

The cue itself feels really really nice. very smooth finish, splices are nicely even... The only thing for me is i went for a round butt which is taking some getting used to but the overall impression of the cue is a very good one. its responsive, well made, and well worth the money.
