    thanks for that
    Black Mamba - I meant that this would be a Plain Ebony butt, yes?
    great hobby

    sold the Empire.
    AD is a pool cue i borrowed for county games.
    currently knockin the odd ton in with the club cue even though its bent as a dogs back leg.
    the brittania is for sale for a friend but wouldnt give it away cos its so badly made and horrendously balanced.

    must say that the splicing is spot one top and bottom just one cue with a splice 2 mm out. Now I must learn to insert the badges properly.

    JRC as requested the badges and as you can see it is a bit tricky to get them flush when you dont have proper equipment
    Lovely job Sanman. Keep it up bud.

    Enjoy ;-)
    Thanks bud . This Traditional is nothing like I've played with before!!! when playing any shot it feels like extension of my arm , the finish on it is simply sublime , Trevor white like , perfectly balanced and the feel is indescribable. Just goooooood. It's must be one off by Parris
    I completely agree with you CueAnt , traditional and burwat champion are just simple design class I'd say in same league with plain ebony. Ironically I've always wanted traditional style but never went for one so it's must be my lucky one.

    Never say never but I reckon I'm done with buying/swapping cues for good! Period.
