Osborne finish is better!.....smoother!

Horses for courses, some people prefer being able to feel the grain somewhat.

Had my Parris Superior refinished at Roberts before Xmas as don't like Johns finish on a cue and if you close your eyes and feel cue/shaft you'd think the ash is maple!

On the parris finish or the osbourne finish?

Cue is excellent, I was with desso when he bought it. Robert had 3 red plates and 1 green plate for sale when we visited!!! Quite a few part made as well.
Nice guy, tried begging, onion angle starving kids in africa angle, nothing would make him take my order. Even a large wedge of cash for a blackplate. He did offer me a black eye tho.
His workshop is awesome, doesnt take orders as people kept mucking him around. Such a shame, he said he can make whatever specs and style of cues he likes, send it abroad and no cues ever come back to him from fussy customers.

That's how Roberts finishes his cues with special mix of oils leaving a natural feel and finish......definitely not unfinished lol.

Yes, he's a big Arsenal fan as Neil and others have said. Last time I popped in at 5pm I didn't leave till well after 7pm rabbiting football as I'm a massive Liverpool fan.

I struggled to get a cue of him a couple of years ago .....as he had to send a specific number out to his agents . But got there in the end !

My mate has just bought a Red Plate......very decent cue and the price seemed cheap at £360 .

Wish you could get one for me Neil. I've been trying for 2 years and I've been using the fellow Gooner angle as well!

I dropped him an email over the summer and popped in when passing but he only had red plates to choose from, nothing took my fancy. I think the orders he gets from agents are fairly relaxed ie he sends a random amount of cues with a few designs a couple of times a year.

Used to chat with him about the Football.....he is a big Arsenal fan.

Great guy is Robert and his cues and finishing are second to none.
Spent many an hour chatting with him and not about snooker as he don't play.

Robert doesn't like the hassle of packaging and selling to individuals. I think he's fine with people coming in to see his stock and purchasing there and then. Orders are out of the question tho

[Neil Taperell]

He seems to be selling a lot of cues to the public lately......know a couple of lads that popped in on the off chance and got a cue from him . Something that was very hard to do a couple of years ago , as all his cues were destined to go to his dealers abroad .
