Speaking as a web programmer its a fine website which is well made and professionally presented. Always important when you're considering buying something. The cues are mouthwatering as well. I had never heard of a gold ferrule. I want one!

[craigslater]

Me to lol, ive emailed them asking how much one is, just out of interest, i will post on here when they get back to me with a price

Prepare for a shock

I have heard that the cues are not the best to play with. Nice for collectors or for players that like to show off a little but any serious player would go to a cuemaker who knows how to make a good cue, not how to make a cue look good.

One went on ebay for £600 not long ago. One with the silver spirals. £2600 I think the guy said it was new.
I was thinking of taking my all black cue round the jewellry quarter in Brum sure some one could do the same for £50 or so.

wow these cues are expensive do they use real silver & gold

[ADR147]

expensive cues - not the best players either - really for show i think. if you have the 3-6k they cost spare please feel free to e-mail me and i will arrange for a splendid cue!!

Yes they use real gold and silver, as wity said im not sure just how much gold and silver is used in the decoration to warrant £2600 for a cue, maybe it is difficult to work into the cues.

Someone like Trevor white or Andrew-adr147 would have to shed some light on the production and possible costs.

[ADR147]

no idea about the cost of gold but the silver used would not justify the costs.

[craigslater]

Would anyone like to hazard a guess as to much a gold ferrule will cost for when i get an answer?

[Wity]

Ive still got my old wedding ring round here somewhere probably worth about £10 as scrap. Theres enough weight in it to make at least 4 ferrules so i'll take a guess at £100 based on how barmy the price of the silver spiral cue is ( £2900 it says on the site)

i would have thought gold would be too soft.

Go for something cooler. Platinum or maybe Titanium. How bout depleted uranium?

[craigslater]

Lol qubit nice answer, as for gold being to soft, i think bras is a soft metal aswel so theres not much difference?

[ADR147]

Go for something cooler. Platinum or maybe Titanium. How bout depleted uranium?

with some form of firing mechanism?
