The latest addition to my cue collection a stunning mint, Claude Falkiner Facsimile Cue made by Peradon with a bone name plate I think. specs are.. 58" 10.55mm, 30.66mm, 16.7/8oz..even though it is 73+ years old it's still dead straight! it is one of the smoothest cues I've ever held! and a joy to play with.

Hi Vlad, how are you buddy, hope all is good your end bud... Thanks man.
Yeh i int been about these parts much for a few months bud, lost the love didn't i, but it's back now
Is she the one, Yes, YES she is, she feels lovely, the balance and feel is outstanding, really is summat special this time and she will be with me for life this one.....
Much better than my last cue, nice reactive little bugger she is, went for a game t'other day (first time in ages) and was over screwing, over hitting everything, plenty of zip in this one, much better than my last one for sure...
I had trev do me a slimmer taper through the bridge this time, a little flex too the shaft, not to stiff, he got it absolutely spot on (in the end, but that's another story) . .. well happy this time around.
Just gotta start using her more now, shame for her to be stuck in her case all the time doing nowt...
She will probs get to see the baize at least a dozen times this year if she's lucky ... lol...(only used her a handful of times in a year) gotta sort it out and get on the practice table, my games in tatters at mo due to not playing, should be all good after a good few sessions back on the baize and i get a good feel of how she reacts properly...
But she feels just right in the hand this one, weight and balance is absolutely spot on.
Just need to get playing more now eh...
if you are in london by any chance let me know and we will sort some baize action.
If i'm ever up that England way i'll defo l;et you know man, be great to have a few frames sometime bud...
Specs are iirc...
57.5"
9.5mm
17.5oz
30mm butt
slim taper (some might say pro taper)
Little flex to shaft, not to stiff... (i like to get a bit of feedback from a cue and i find very stiff cues lack this)
Balanced at approx 17.5" iirc
Asked for weight to be more evenly distributed through cue and slightly forward.
And she is spot on fairplay to trev, he's the man, and a gent to boot...
23 months wait eh vlad.. Ouch..... Look forward to seeing pics bud, hope she's a keeper for ya..
re Wayne g... I don't carry ext's, mini's etc, chalk in pocket cue in case and that's it...
If i need to carry anything else i got my snooker manbag in i...
im all good Cally, cant complain . my game is improving bit by bit .
im glad to hear you got the yarning for the game back and a cracking cue to boot. i remember you were saying about this beaut when she was in the making but only get to see it last week . SHE looks bloody lovely SHE is.
gotta take my hat of to trev as he is a real "cue artist" int he?
23month is a very loooooong wait i know, this wood betta be something special i tell ya.
the spec i went for is 57 inch,17.5oz,9.25tip,29mm butt. ill post some pics as soon as i lay my hands on it.
