which cue Peradon or Dunns

[macker]

Hi looking to have a cue made which would produce the better quality/plaing cue?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Dunns for me. From what I've seen you'll get a better playing cue for less than the price of a decent peradon.

Every peradon I see bought lately tends to feel like ****e when you strike the ball. My pal's just parted with close to three hundred for a peradon cue and case set. I'm disappointed for him.

I have had both. I had peradon make me a cue from there cuewizard page 4 years ago at a cost of £165 the cue was nice and it was nothing fancy and i did play well with it. Sold it to a mate...i bought a dunns Hendry replica in maple and i must say it was far superior to the peradon cue. If you do a search on here for my post in pics of your cue then i am sure you will see the post i put up about dunns cues.

Thanks for the replys, just looking for opinions, cue is for my son who is taking up the game and is enjoying it no end.

If you post a budget some of the known cue heads' will be on with excellent advice.

Cheers, for that budget would be around £200.

Read my cue contest thread. I am currently playing with a MAC cue, made to spec, exotic splicing and came with two extensions.

Think I paid £215? Not sure, but 'The Doctor' on here makes MAC cues. I am very happy with my cue.

There's Andy Travis, Raymo on here too who make cues to a similar budget.

I have a Jaws cue that is a good hitter going for £100 , otherwise i would go for GBL , mastercue , mastercraft , omin , phoenix , craftsman or other makers here thats been mentioned .

ADR147 on here has offered my mate a Britannia steel with extension and mini butt for £100 plus P&P, he has a few sets really well made cues have a look on his for sale pages.

Check out andy gibbs website, he's bound to have something there, I got one of his cues a couple of weeks ago and it's lovely.
