Ali Carter front splice????

[RogiBear]

Does anyone know what front splice Ali has on his ultimate cue?? Can't seem to find a closeup or image of his cue.

From memory I think it could be masur birch

brilliant - I think Murphy regrets saying those words "it is just a bit of wood at the end of the day" how long did it take him to settle in with his new replacement cue?

Would you also know the splicing on jack lisowski's cue? From videos it seems like 4 splices of olive wood. Anyone can confirm? Thanks

That was his old cue, he has a single splice now over 2 veneers, haven't seen a close up of it though, looks to be ovangkol.

You are right though the cue before was olivewood.

Jack's new cue look like it is red amboyna (or similar) on 3x thin veneers (maple/ebony/maple)

That front splice on lisowski's cue looks more like caretto - which incidentally is the wood of the four secondary splices on judd trump's parris special cue
