yeah maybe but there was nothing revealing, not for tsf anyway, he was repeating himself and only really promoted thurstons, mentioning them three times

[justf]

How do you get hold of andy to order a cue??

[jrc750]

Wonder why he mentioned Thurston's so many times when you don't see any at all for sale ???
plus i know it doesn't really matter but his splicing's were a mile out, i certainly wouldn't buy one of his cues !
Edit: plus i once emailed him once asking for advice on a cue (as he freely advises on his website) i received no answer, in my mind he is ignorant and deserves no respect, it takes 10 seconds to reply, no excuse at all

Don't Thurstons just sell Peradons?

Have you ever played with one of his cues jrc?? I saw one on ebay, quite expensive i thoight for cue maker i hadnt really heard of. Just wondered if his cue are any good?

Not really a lot of info there. If you're a world expert (which he is) you'd surely out a bit more planning into that, a script for example?

[jrc750]

Maybe i should add i bought an old cue off one of his "friends" which i suspected was a replica, i asked for advice on it before selling it, i got no answer, speaks volumes to me, adr gave me some story about him being unable to work computer or something, funny that

Not good that. A poor show. Robert Osborne, Robin Cook and Parris cues replied when i emailed them about cues i bought from other sources other than their own sites. I think any decent cue maker should reply to queries to limit possibility of fakes or possibility of fraud. Also shows good after care for cutomers who bought, then sold cues on.

Andy makes very few cues and I don't think he makes them for the general public.

Which website? The Cue Collector?? The site is run by Gordon Radford as Andy is unable to write due to dyslexia.

Andy is an expert on antique cues and really knows his stuff.

I have one of his cues and it is a lovely playing cue.

There is an Andy Hunter cue for sale on ebay at the minute being sold by Blackswancues :

The advert does say "Any questions on the cue please ask and I will pass them onto Andy".

There is another thread on Andy Hunter here:

Hi,

Andy Hunter is undoubtably one of the nicest blokes you will ever speak to and his knowledge of 'Antique cues' is second to none, unfortunately he suffers from Dyslexia where replying to emails or even texts can be a struggle for him, he is also 'not' well known for his computer skills where many of my emails to him have gone astray due to him accidentally deleting them.

Andy will speak to anyone by phone where you'll see his true passion take over, he'll explain certain cues and ask for photos and answer any questions you ask and will give you the correct advice accordingly.

When it comes to Andy making cues he does this as a hobby but he's no hobbyist cue maker so to speak as his cues are of excellent quality yet only sold when they past the test which involves himself giving the cue a few hours on the practice table.

I'll stand by my post and challenge anyone to telephone Andy and you'll see he's in no way an ignorant person, just a passionate person who knows what he's talking about.

Peradon and Thurston are both trading names owned by Peter Clare and essentially the same company.
