[smythe]

Does any body know how good these cues are, they are been made in Sutton Coldfield. Malcolm is his name.

They are now,they took the original b@ watts name in 80s I think.

[smythe]

Yes your right Jim I paid a visit over there and spoke to Malcolm who makes cues with the B&watts badge. Showed me a lovely cue, the thing is I havnt seen any for sale and I don't know anybody who has bought one recently. Ian

[jim evans]

You saying they buy them in and badge.

No I went there on Sat morning had to make a appointment first, he is in Sutton coldfield he told me he makes the cues n showed me one. He also refurbs snooker tables, I have put a small deposit on the cue. But I wanted some feed back on his cues but can't find any.

Look on his web site it says cue maker

I'm sure this is the same company that sells cues at most events in Great Yarmouth, whenever there are pool events. I've spoken to them a few times and they reckon they do make their own cues?? One of mates has a pearwood cue that was handmade by them.

Hi Rob Malcolm at B & Watts seemed genuine told me the cue he showed me was a pair he made for a pro player , one was slightly longer. It seemed a really nice cue, I only went for some advice. But still can't find any cues made buy him around.

I'm sure it's the same company B&W billiards based in the West Midlands? One of my mates uses one, I've played with a few times, seems to be a very nice cue, unfortunately that's where my knowledge ends
With them. They always seem to sell a few cues up at the pool comps, know what they are talking about etc.....

How much you looking to spend?

Two companies in the Midlands with similar names, you mean B&W Billiards Rob. Burroughs and Watts is a different place.

Oops, that's exactly who I mean, B&W billiards I'll shut up now

Couple of friends use B&W billiards cues, I've only used them for repairs. Their cue makers are Dean and Julian. I'm sure there is an old thread on here somewhere about the other Borroughs and Watts company.
