Hi all
I'm a snooker player from Belgium, thinking about buying a new cue. I know already which specs I want the cue to have. With different cue sellers available, such as greenbaize, adr147... I'll probably won't wait for having one custom made direct from the maker (waiting lists are pretty big).
What I find interesting is the difference in price between cues made in Thailand (Ton Praram, Maximus...) and in the UK (Trevor White, Exquisite...). I'm pretty experienced and I can't really spot any differences in quality. I don't have the luxery to try cues out in shops, so judging cues on the looks of their grains, specs, is the only way for me to pick a new cue.
At the moment I'm doubting between: Exquisite (green plate, very nice grains, gbp 550), Trevor White (gbp 650) and a Ton Praram ('beyond' with snakewood gbp 425). They al look like quality cues and the specs are very much the same. So my gut feeling tells me to pick the cheapest.
What are your thoughts on this?
Cheers!
