Hi Stevie

It says in the about section that they start at £400 and a 6 month wait, but if they look as good as they do on Facebook, I may order one

I can vouch for Dave Bowen. Top bloke and cue maker. Really nice to deal with.

I like the simplicity of this cue, stylish. The seller has TW Mast cue for sale too, seem to remember someone on here wanting one the other week. Bit pricey though I think.

Yep, I saw it and thought £650 was too much. I made an offer but was quite a bit lower and didn't get accepted unsurprisingly. I think there'll be further opportunites with TW cues so I'm happy to wait.

Has anyone used or have one of his snooker cues and if so, how do they play?
He seems to make a fair few cues for pool...
Agree with above comments - his cues look nice!

No it's not , sorry about that . just some info.
would be nice to know how much experience he has.
His prices are abit on high side, imo.

Although, I saw he's using Canadian Maple – Acer saccharum.
Which is one of the most expensive maple woods.

It’s nice he’s using expensive raw materials assuming quality = price. In my industry you tend the find the people who advertise using the most expensive/alleged best components/materials are either very good all round (minority) or nobs whose work quality is trash and they use the premium stuff to distract from it (majority).

I tend the judge cue makers on their alteration work, consistency and turnaround times. Communication is another big factor hence I could never deal with Trevor White or Parris on a custom order. Andy Travis and Jason Owen Rick all those boxes for me. Hopefully David Bowen can prove himself in the same vein as them. Having another good cue maker in the mid-upper market would be great.
