probably will sell it Leo as I am partial to ash. First let me get cue in hand. I will be most interested in seeing a H&O cue first hand as I never saw one before let alone play with one. See what the hype is all about.

The thing in SA regarding cues is that people are clueless about cues here. Don't know what real value of cues are. Crappy machine spliced Joe Davis cues are held in high regard until they play with a good handmade do they know the difference.
Just 4 months back I missed out on a JP exclusive at approximately 150 pounds. Thing is the cue was available for a few days before that. I guess it's what's in your luck. But yeah not many know much about cues and cue value. Either Overpriced crap or underpriced gold. Hopefully this cue is all good.

Just received this cue. I will post more pics on weekend. I am guessing here as I have not measured anything yet but specs are 29 butt 9 mm tip and 17 ounces. Cue in very good condition. Would have been in exceptional condition for the age but for two dents on one splice. Shaft is clean and blemish free stiff maple. I had a hit with it and plays beautiful. Just not gonna go back to maple.

I know the green plate Robert Osborne cues have been criticised recently as they are made in Thailand and simply finished at the most by him, but what is the difference between the different colour models of H&O?

Freudian slip?
