No problem...if it doesn't work out, and if you want to take me up on the offer later it will still stand. I've had this cue for about five years and only use it in shortened form for restricted shots around my pool table. If you can afford to invest in better then ADR147 is a good man. He has a very nice range of playable budget cues, and I buy my tips from him and know him to be an honest and reliable seller. Tell him what you want, and he will see you right, and you will get more value for less cash than through mainstream outlets.

Right...I've had a rummage around, and I've found something that might be useful, that I'm prepared to let go of.

Lewis and Wilson (modern rubbish, rather than good old) 57" three quarted jointed cue, with SD joint in the butt. 17.9 oz with a 17.5" balance point. I can include Two fixed extensions (29 1/2" and 6" mini butt). These extensions also attach to the 3/4 joint to make a short (think restricted pool table) and intermediate length cue. Tip (end of the ferrule 9.5/9.6) type unknown, but no too bad, and decent shape....looks and feels like a Blue Diamond type. Dark honeyed (varnished!) ash, and a black/brown not too garish splice pattern on the butt. Looks okay from a distance, plays okay (medium stiff) with a decent hit for a cheap cue. Joint not totally flush, the finish overall could be better.

It's painted 'fingers' on the shaft, and I find the finish a bit tacky and varnish-y. If I was going to play with it, I'd spend a bit of time on it in regards to finish.

Pictures: full length four piece shot, business end shot.


No case, no postage and packing. I have a workshop full of stuff that I don't ebay, and just runs out of value because i haven't got time to pack and post stuff (never mind manage returns). So my suggestion is this...I'll wrap it in some bubble wrap or something, if the gentleman in question wants it, as a forum we need to relay it down to him. For example I'm in Nottingham. I will be going to Milton Keynes mon/tue during the day next week....anyone between nottingham and Milton Keynes who can take it on for another leg?

My only condition being that if it turns out to be of no use to the original poster, that he makes it available to another starter on the forum free of charge (postage paid, or relay organised...).

this is a fun sounding game - where does it need to end up?

I play ebay relay with my football friends when I can't easily collect something. It's not a big deal if everyone weighs in....shouldn't be a problem for a nationwide, nay global, forum like this. Anyway, where it needs to go is nowhere. He didn't want it.

So pottr will have to shelve his holiday plans.

You'll sell it. That was not what I was trying to achieve here. If you go halves on postage me and pottr can have a romantic fortnight in the maldives, and you can have the cue.
