JP Unique cue

[Ramon]

Quick question, has anybody actually questioned a shaft after they bought the cue and then spoke to the seller / maker about it ?

everyone has their own taste!! but for me, the important thing is, how the cue plays !!
most of the shaft wood comes from the same area anyway !!
It's not all about the shaft. or crs, playability of the shaft is important!! but the question is, who is the cue maker and what he's gonna do with that shaft. How the cue is balanced/taper/distribution of weight/are all important and does play a major role in how the cue plays.
Although, in my opinion thai shafts have a better playability!! ( in general speaking ). most of the thai cues i have seen , are responsif !!
Perhaps, due to the climate difference?? I do'nt know!!
personally if I buy a cue from a cue maker ( likes Mike W ), I ask nothing!! because I can trust him!!
I am sure that Mike does'nt import any shafts!! even if he does, that does'nt effect playability of his cues!! so, that does'nt matter to me !! ( but that's just me, lol ).

Yeah I'm of the same thought, as long as it plays well thats the main thing. Totally agree with you Ramon.
I only posted the question as others before were querying where they are from etc and if there is underhand activity going on.

Well if was waiting for my JP to be made and was 18 months in and heard he had a new range out, I would be straight onto the Silver Fox.

John, what's the craic? I've been waiting 18 months and you've used one of your precious secret sourced rested hand planed shafts on a stock cue.

2x CORRECT!

Plus the one's who don't work at his premises

Thai hand grenade?

You'll find that there are people will take offense over any subject no matter what it is. Either everything is ok to make fun of or nothing is. You were in absolutely no doubt that I was making a joke so please get a grip, brother.

I hear ya Pottr, but hey.. what would I know? I'm just a racist

lol

[Inoffthered]

I would rather burn the cues.

You prefer ash to maple then

MB .........The exact reason I sold my cue and bought a Trevor White .

And my Rolex is real

This is why I admire Neil, he's the real deal, he talks the talk and walks the walk. My hat off to you again Sir. Not sure why you bought a Rolex though, you don't own a kebab shop. Get a Chopard next time dear boy, better movement inside Anyway Neil, glad you feel as strongly as me. The day I find out (hopefully never) that JP uses Thai shafts, that ultimate is dust. Same with TW. I think Neil, Bill and Les need to compile the trusted list of cue makers whose work/shafts can be verified, including Thai makers because before long, I can imagine Thai makers jumping on the profit bandwagon and importing Chinese shafts.........And the cue makers need to join in as well, to protect their own reputations. Before long, every cue maker will come under question (even if nothing untoward) unless their output can be verified as kosha because cynicism has that effect. One bad apple spoils the barrel etc.

When you buy a Rolls Royce or even a Jag and they say they hand-stitch the seats, it turns out they really do. For some of us, it's not just about how the cue plays, there's the artisan factor in purchases, the skilled British hand we admire and want to keep going through our own spending. When we find out that the wonga has been wasted, our time and admiration wasted, and we've been duped, guess what, we have good cause to be furious.
