Cheers, The Newbie George.

Great view down the shaft, only two splices visible and nicely lined up. Cue looks classic, same as they ever were, could as well be 60 years old I like it mate, hope it falls in love with your hand and good luck with your century.

Hi guys, this is my playing cue for almost 30 years now. It's a Hunt & O'Byrne which I picked at Britannia Snooker Shop in Germany sometime in 1985. I was a student then and so the price tag of 1300 deutschmarks (about 650 euros nowadays) was a little shocking, but I tried the lot of stock cues and i finally picked it because it didn't have the typical reverse darts on the back side (important for me as I have a habit to play with the flat side down), it was plain ebony and ash and felt heavy and like a weapon. And most important, I liked the weight and balance and my hand fell in love with it instantly ... it could pot half distance balls almost by itself

The owner of the shop later gave me an original case for a day's work repairing and reconfiguring his computer, I never would have bought it because it was kind of pricey and so I was delighted to get it as a present. I still have that case and prefer it to a shiny new one despite it has worn down very much now. Cue and case travelled with me to many many tournaments, near and far.

As the years went by, a new ferrule was added multiple times and occasionally the cue had to be shortened by a ferrule size because the wood inside the ferrule was damaged. First, Will Hunt added a 2 inch piece of wood at the bottom end and re-spliced it (perfect work, you don't feel or see it ever has been cut), and about 5 years ago it gained another inch by adding a new butt which Robert Osborne built for me. The new butt is exactly same weight and balance as the original one but one inch longer. It has four cocobolo splices with maple veneers, and all the splice points are exactly in line, both upper and lower sides.

The cue is very rigid, it plays best with a tip on the medium/soft side.

Make: Hunt & O'Byrne
Design: plain ebony & ash, even splice points high and low, straight grain at the sides and not many darts top and bottom of shaft
Length: was 147 cm (57 ") when new, now 145 cm (56" ?) with original butt, 147 cm (57" ?) with replacement butt
Weight: 535 grams (18.5 ounces ?)
Tip: 9 mm (was 9.5 mm when new i think)
Butt: 27.5 mm, 18" (original); 28 mm, 19" (replacement)
Balance: at the joint, 19" from butt end (18" with original butt)
Price: 1300 DM back in 1985 (about 650 Euros)
