Kind of difficult to put into words, so here's one of the photos Jack / Praram III cues sent me:

Kudos to Jack and his craftsmen at Praram III cues. I forgot to mention that in my previous post. How rude of me.When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back. GET MAD!!

I'm playing with my lovely 15 year old handmade/hand spliced(ebony) Britannia 3/4 ash cue which I've kept in my Barracuda Tournament Case(aluminium).
Basic cue specs are 58" long and just over 19oz which I have recently had a base joint fitted buy Robert Osborne and purchased a ebony mini butt & extension from him for it.
I've also been playing around with a lovely silky smooth Smith & Nelson "The Sportsman Cue" maple cue which is 57 1/4" long and just over 19oz which was originally a 1 piece but been converted into a 3/4 cue which is kept in a Cheddar Classics aluminium case.
Would add photos but can't do at mo.
By the way...great forum guys:encouragement:
the Smith & Nelson(lovely smoth shaft) maple was sold to Mick(old school) but recently bought a very nice Andy Travis 1 piece maple(african black wood butt with a front splice of wenge and a maple vaneer) and a Pheonix Unity machine spliced(georgeous chevrons and plain under belly) from John(JRC147) which you can photo's here http://www.thesnookerforum.com/board...13-Phoenix-cue which i am looking for to receiving thursday/friday
the Andy Travis cue is currently on its way to him for a few alterations which i can't wait too see as i love this cue and my 1st 1 piece/maple aswell!!
caught the snooker bug again lol!!!!!!!:snooker::biggrin:VR Ultimate Limited Edition 1 Piece Ash Cue - 58” | 9mm | 18.9oz | 29.5mm | 18”.
Long & Short Tele Extensions | 6” & 3” Ebony Mini Butts.
