I'll say this for you Jason hats off to you for actually trying out the cues you make. Most cuemakers new to it or not don't. How often you gone back to the workshop and altered something or other so it feels right?
Nice work there! Good to see cues being handmade still!
This shows the faker makers look like real dingos. Machines, machines, machines, then the hand made claim/badge conning the public. This guy proves it is possible to hand make something of quality, sell it fairly and keep a craft going. The others are just greedy capitalists looking at productivity numbers. This guy is keepin it real.

Till he becomes a pro that is then watch him rebottle £10 finishing oil spit in it and say the ingredients are a secret and flog it for £60 a litre just like many pro cue builders do.
He could be worse mind, especially with his £15 pop bottle toca thingy.

i dont think its in me to be a mugger. though the pop bottle tuca thingy or pbtt sounds catchy, make it 20 with a name like that
Dont normally do cue reviews but this deserved the credit its needed. the packaging it came in was ridiculously good! And after a couple of hours of it arriving i dropped everything and went hit a ball with it on both a snooker and pool table. Wow the shaft stiffness the balance point and all the other specs everything is perfect to what i wanted, it hits the ball incredibly well and the finish is unreal. It definatly plays well if not better than cues i have had from the more popular expensive cue makers, would definatly reccomend j6 to anybody whos in the market for there new 'fix' lol

thats a very kind review jbean, and im happy to hear you like your new cue
nice score, are these special selected club cues? or all different old cues?
no matt, though as you know,i have access to the store room of one of the biggest supplier of club cues so i still have a few choice club cues..
no the shafts above were one piece all ash club cues used for pool. should have a few up on the table within a couple of months

Are they plain round butts at the moment?
I love taking cues that are due for the dustbin and bringing them back to life. If you're splicing them as well that must be a good feeling.
