Info on New cue

[Alangc]

Anyone know anything about this cue? Just purchased this and im yet to play with it, felt nice in my hand though, just wondering whether I paid too much. Its a 60" 1 piece which im struggling to find a 1 piece case long enough to take it!

Mass produced Chinese cues, sports direct stock them, worth £30 -£40

Where did you buy it from ?

A guy local to me who does table repairs etc, he had a mint peradon century for £125 with case and extensions, may go a swap it over was torn between the two but the peradon was 58" and i like the extra length of this one, but i should of researched this cue more.

Where are you buying them for that? They're £135 @ craftsman?

Ouch. I'd give it a try now you have it, it might be 'the one'. You could buy 20 blind and not find one that suited, then what have you saved?

[Alangc]

Dont know what to do now it looks the same as those on craftsman, it came with the extension and mini butt too, suppose if im happy with hiw it plays it shouldnt matter, would hate to think i paid £150 for a £40 cue thou.

Never discourage the thrill of the chase, I've still got a garage full of not quite the ones to shift! Lol

Cheers for the help guys!

Maybe the one piece cues are superior to the cheaper 3/4 one's ?
Indeed £135 from Craftsman so must be different surely ??

The guy was open to trading it in if it didnt suit, im not overly concerned, if it changes my 50 breaks into centurys il be happy enough, if only lol

If you decide to keep it Peradon do quite a cheap case that is just over 60", just make sure you check the internal measurements.

You'd like to think so but they also sell the 2 piece cues with sticky back splicing for £75?
