Here, and here...

Was that a grand cue Neil, I got one for roughly the same price, I was amazed it was real ebony, splicing was nice and even and felt nice in the hand. Downside was it got sticky quickly ,did yours? And the tip end was very flexible and I thought, oh this is going to be like cueing with a piece of spaghetti but it wasn't ( I suppose that's not a fault then lol)

No , it was a David Wu badged cue .

He cleaned it , then played with it and it didn't get sticky . And there was a nice bit of flex in the cue at the top .

Has anyone one ever dealt directly with Grand cues ? As I would want to order a round butt cue .

Thanks Tetricky and Niel , I have always been a bit worried about trying to refinish a cue but I my have a go with this one, nothing to lose . I like my ash shafts to be as pale as possible, probably because I prefer maple, but you can see what you are getting with ash grain wise ,a dirty bit of maple is horrible.
Not dealt with them direct, I went on a website once a while back but there wasn't much on it. I don't know if you can contact them through eBay but I do know they do a custom cue so they must take orders.

Glad you found one, I really like mine, Just sanded off the varnish from the shaft left it bear wood, its maple so stays very smooth, was worried it might bend but held fast....Cheers,

What's the maple like on it Sharkster, I like a maple cue but thought these would be poor quality and whippy.

Quick update, got myself some decent sandpaper and just cut back the finish, didn't take it all off as it felt nice anyway, had a knock with it in the club today, very nice indeed , much ,much more reaction than my maple cue, so much more I was struggling with position, it is also lighter so I may have been getting through the ball a bit faster, but I'm going to give it a few days and see how I get on with it. It didn't go sticky at all ,in well over two hours playing with it.

Emperor say 'we select naturally dried wood to make the best cues'.
What could they mean? I wonder who could own this company.

12" to 15" of flex is where its at, thats where you get your action from

I really like my Maple Cue, its plays really well. Very reactive cue, well made and worth its weight in gold. Cheers, I only wish I had purchased a ash one as well....

If you don't mind me asking, what was the price range of your cue, there seems to be about three, sixty and under, sixty to one twenty and top of the range one sixty to two hundred.

i paid 160 cdn delivered to my door, no import or exchange charges, the case is worth that or more here... Cheers,

[itsnoteasy]

Cheers Sharkster, reckon that's about £80 , think I might try one.

what is that in real money?

:wink:
that does seem pretty cheap for a reasonable cue. (if they are reasonable that is :biggrin

I went and ordered one of these last night, I've bought 3 cues in the last year now, this is getting a bit silly but at least they're cheaper than guitars. I actually already have a grand cue, it's one of the ash only cues, just a couple of veneers on it and an ash splice, I don't really get on with it, but it's a nice enough cue.

This is the one I've ordered http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272035487660
