Those shafts which Rogi took a pic of were for the classic up to the regal

and probably the Unique

I have other suspicions about them

He did say those shafts were around 12.5mm to 13mm at the tip so the rest would be done by hand.

I must admit, this reminded me of one of the guys who spent in the region of £1200 on a JP (don't know which one but it was all ebony).

He was one of the best players in the league prior to his new investment but his form has since disappeared and he has had it two seasons.

Because he was good and now has won an average of half his games over the last two years, his opponents gave him a new nickname of '50 cent.'

Needless to say, he ain't too happy about it as they talk about his nickname and then the price he paid for his cue.

Am I blaming the cue? Nah, have no idea why his forms dropped that much...............like the nickname though.

So did I.

Never managed to ask him about his nickname yet, can't keep a straight face when I've tried.

Ah. I was wondering when the hand made bit came in (don't answer that, it's for my own enjoyment!).

He did also say he can't remember anything on his website saying that all his cues were hand planed completely by hand but everything is done in the workshop

Not thinking too well when I broke the ferrule off it became too short and I ordered another 6 Parris cues but all of them were way too stiff for me even though I specified I wanted a medium flex shaft.

I've found the only cuemakers who can meet my requirements are those mentioned above who are one-man bands although of course MW does has 1 helper or apprentice in Gavin. I have found most of the cues I come across have either stiff or medium-stiff shafts these days. Older cues seem to be a little more flexible and my Parris from the 80's was more a medium flex.

Been debating flexes down the club. Does anyone know if there is a standard measure of flex between a stiff, medium and high flex cue?

[Leo]

What's the roger with these unique cues then?

[billabong]

What's the roger with these unique cues then?

Is the "what's the Roger" similar to our own local term "what's the Hampden " ( hampden roar = score ) where score means what's it about ?

i.e what's the hampden wae these unique cues , then ?

no matter what way yous look at it these are still broom handles in the corner of a room that aint no where near a piece of sand paper. these dowles are simply at the stage were a cue maker would know how the piece of wood is gonna look, the weight of the shaft, an take a guess at how it may play..
.
not much else going on here really

Sweat over. Apparently he's got a sideline going.
