Try any of these trevor white, robin cook, mike wooldridge, john parris , dave coutts, will all make you a
Custom handmade cue you will have to wait probably 1 year for most and longer for some. Or you could try
greenbaize cues website and look at there cues gbl and maximus both superb cues and ready in stock to buy
or try andy travis he's a member on this site and will make you a custom made cue and he's waiting time is normally
just a few weeks I have had 2 cues off andy both superb.

i am not very good at explaining things i meant in a way the cue is hand made actually by hand which we now those companies above would not be in business if they made there cues totally by hand.

oh dear, here we go again

"what is handmade and what is not" discussion has gone round the houses many times.
those makers in the post above all make very high quality cue "by hand" as opposed to machine-made (spliced)
now if you want to go down the line of "well they did not grow the tree themselves to start with"...
If you mean, they do not use any electric-tools as part of the contruction; then I doubt any maker today, anywhere, does not use an electric tool of some sort to make their high quality cues.

Dave coutts hand makes his cues they are very expensive and a very long waiting time why do you want a cue thats totally
made by hand anyway. Its not like you can tell the difference when its made the list I gave you in my 1st reply
are arguably the 5 best cue makes there is and all will make you a top cue I think you need to do some research on the subject
1st try reading through some threads on the forum.

Is Dave coutts selling Ton praram cues ?. I know he placed a order.

If you have a budget and time scale in mind, it would make it easier for the members to make recommendations for you. Are you looking to get a cue made to your own specifications or to buy one ready made off the shelf?

How do you know this? Seems a strange move if true, as anyone can order from Ton Praram, if he tries to charge more than the price direct then I can't see why anyone would buy one.

Try Tony Glover or Steve Grice Leo .

thanks renzie had a pm mentioning tony im just not spending good money on a hand made cue that is not hand made it's kind of defeating the object when companys buy them in and sell them as hand made

[wmccreedy]

Would highly recommend Reg Wright of Wrightcues.co.uk Reg is much more reasonable than the 'top names' and the wait time is a lot less. My game has improved since Reg made me a cue back in January. Check out my review at http://www.thesnookerforum.co.uk/boa...12545&page=501

the only name given to you that openly "buys in" is GBL, and then they are still handmade to Stu's requirements.
they are still very nice cues.
so what you are looking for is a cue ACTUALLY made by the name on the badge
all the names you have been given (bar GBL (as above)) should full-fill your requirements
let's start again; importantly, what is your budget?
