j6 cue stories

Cue review :

So my cue that J6 made arrived a couple of weeks ago so i thought i'd get plenty table time before posting a small review.
After Jason had finished it and put the video review on this thread i noticed the specs and sighed as i wanted 10m and it was only 9.4m, I messaged J and he apologised for the mixup and offered me the previous cue he had made with a discount which was a nice gesture as he didn't need to and i could have waited for him to do another with my original specs, this one was only 17oz and i really wanted between 18-19 but the tip size was more important so i took that one.

The packaging was excellent and i give him 10/10 for that
The cue is really well finished which i new it would be due to the time and effort he puts in to it, he obviously has a little OCD and it shows 10/10

The tip that came with it was crap but he puts them on so he can test the cue knowing full well anyone serious about this game will take it off and put their preferred type on which for me was the MW Supertip.

The cue has a really lovely hit to it and is very responsive, so much so that when i reverted back to my old cue for our match(Jason's arrived the day before so i didn't want to chance it) it was like trying to control the cue ball with an old rest with a tip on, his cue is so much better and i now know what people mean when they say one is a player.

My only reservation about it is the weight as i have predominantly used only 18oz upwards but if i decide to get another heavier one then i'll be going back to Jason, top job sir!!

thanks for the feedback and kind words geordie.. sry about the tip, these are pricier than elks but layered pigs skins not every ones cupa tea. but as you mentioned these firm layered tips do give me very good idea about the shafts resonance,but will give players a tip option in the future

Well said Jason. This should be the aim of cuemakers to provide a good piece of equipment to the best of their ability for the benefit of the user who hopefully, will treasure and love the cue where much sweat, effort and time was spent to create, to enjoy and play the game to the best of their ability.
its not about monetary profit only in cues.
Any updates on the new cues mate? Thanks and cheers Jason.

Crap was probably a bit harsh, what i should have said was not my type, if you make something similar to the one i bought but between 18.5 and 19.5 then please give me first refusal!!
