Why are Hunt & O'Byrne Cues so desirable?

[Stevie1]

They do look nice cues 1day al buy one

Will post pics comparing it to my tw when it arrives, meant to be Thursday though thats with parcelforce so maybe a Thursday next month.

They are a bit over priced I think, seen a lot of variance too some real crackers and some really whippy ones and along with Parris they are by far the most faked cue out there - which is why I would steer clear if I was you Steve - unless you buy from a reputable source .

If you get a dodgy one you can always flog it on to some lunatic with more money than sense, the recent Will Hunt auction proves that much

Here's another pic of a flat on one of these cues.



As you can see the shapes pretty much the same, only real difference is one is much shiner than the other making the edges more obvious. And i think it's fair to say not every cue would have exactly the same flat, some might have been shorter, longer, not as deep cut etc.

Yeah I agree I think it was just the other angle and the light, nice cue!

Nothing so far is making me convince myself that I need one. I just don't get it!

Was hoping to have it today, parcelforce as usual being useless seems like its now tomorrow, that's despite landing in their "hub" at half 2 yesterday.

Who are they ?.

Who are they ?.

Well they made that cue - not will Hunt - the ones with the other joint were his these ones were cues he bought in at the time I believe - so it aint really a hunt and OB cue really . I think that is what he is alluding to when he speaks about cutting out the middle man.

Well to coin a phrase: "not a lot of people know that" They see the badge and assume its a hunt and ob but technically its not.

So let the silly buggers pay a grand for a cue worth 200?
