    Beware of hobbiest cue makers

    Some people always seem to have quality and service issues no matter where they go. Plain unlucky? Probably not.

    Well for £9 it's a cheap lesson learned and will no doubt save you plenty more than that with the knowledge that you are a 'Craftsman Cues' kind of guy. From now on only buy what you know to save yourself the hassle.

I cud get a hand made cue from "craftsman cues in leeds craftsman " there majestic cue which is the same kind of cue jim tryed to make me for £234 it is number 2 in there cue range and it wud be 10 times quality jim sent me! Im sorry his cue was no where near there quality as i now owned 2 of there cues and a friend owns one! I was nothing but nice when asking for refund jim ignored me for days then i finaly get refund of 221 after i paid to send cue back aswell i never swore i told him if i got refund that wud b end of it all but he was nothing but rude to me! I mean hu calls there client a ball bag!
      I saw and played with this reject cue on Saturday, it's perfectly straight (who the chuff plays with a straight edge on the cue??). If those splices are an "inch" out, lets just say I pity your other half..

        Did you have any pictures of this cue? Would be interested in seeing how bad it really is?

              Again in English?
              I have no idea whether the specs were as you ordered, but I can tell if splices are an inch out, or the cue isn't straight.. I’ve owned 1 or 2 cues. For that I don't need a straight edge, or a ruler, I use my eyes. If your eyesight is as poor as your writing, I think I understand the problem.
              Funny you should mention arses actually, because I was just thinking if you pulled your pants down, I’d be able to hear you better…

                    Chill out mate, no need to be name calling lol. Pictures speak a thousand words, I'd have thought if you'd intended to create this thread then you'd have perhaps taken some pictures to show us the horror of your experience lol

                            Then what's the point in creating this thread? I'd have thought it was to warn people, and with the greatest of respect people can only take your word for what you say, pictures would have shown all errors for what they were and then there certainly wouldn't have been any doubt on the matter?

                              Ever heard of a full stop or apostrophe ? By the way it is spelt know and straight!!

                              Also I think photo evidence would help a lot here!!
