    since we're on O'min cues... I recently got hold of an O'min O'Millenium. Anyone have any idea where those rank in terms of playability (with relation to the rest of the O'min range)?

      Any help from anyone on here would be much appreciated!
      I also sent an email and still no reply after 7 days. Looks like the only way to get one is buy second hand but they dont appear on ebay very often.

          well, its not a new cue so not sure what the original finish was like. it seems like it might have been lacquered, with the lacquer stripped away for oil finish on upper shaft (butt still seems lacquered).

          Play-wise i prefer the single piece omin classic... not to say that this is bad, just find the classic balance more comfortable.

          This piece that I have is probably 17.5ish in weight

          I think it has a kamui tip at the moment.

            I have a OMIN VICTORY 3/4 the finish on mine is beautiful just plain oil, purchased this cue from Andrew Gibbs, did not know what to expect but I have to admit it puts my other cues in the shade and it has become my main playing cue, it came with a adjustable mini butt that is great for those in-between type of shots when you dont need the big stuff,it had a OMIN ORIGINAL RED TIP Fitted I have since changed it for a Talisman (The Red Tip was ok ! but a bit rock hard for me) Are the Kamui tips all they are cracked up to be ?

              Are the 3/4 cues jointed at 14 or 16 inches?

                14.1/2 inches with air-loc type fitting and the OMIN LOGO Stamped deep into face of brass joint very nice fit.

                  Since we're on O'min

                  Its fairly easy for me to supply O'min cues here but the main problem is the price point.

                  Say for example the top of the range Hunter and 147 models will set you back easily £400 and that's not inclusive of shipping.

                  Now for the basic entry level of classic and perfect £150 exclude shipping.

                  Now how many of the guys on here would pay that kind of money given the large number of cue maker selection you guys have?

                    Do you know the prices of the Climax and Union range? These are not top of the range like the hunter. Plenty of folks are reccomending the Master Cue and GBL cues which sell for just under the £300. Would the climax and union cues fit into that price bracket?

                      Personally? the control is there but i prefer mike's tips. the Kamui does shine if your game is based on close control
