    I bought a MW shark in the Welsh colours a few years back, which I sold a few week ago, but
    which eventually fell through with buyer being tight with funds. Quite glad though, as replacement I had
    my eye on didn't play like I thought it would ( always, always try 1st ! ).



    Also had a case made by Roger Taft in the USA. Word of warning though, don't set a price in your head in pounds but agree it with case making guy in Dollars. By the time the case was ready the pound had sunk . :-(
    Good service though , choose your wood, design, dimensions etc

    You hold up the butt of the cue to your eye, like a rifle and gently rotate it, if it looks straight it is !
    I do sight it like a rifle first and it appears to have a very slight kink on one side of the taper. Perhaps it's the way the shaft is planed or the effect is dued to optical illusion?

    Yes mate, you're spot on! I got them from Pete recently and had them altered to my specs before being sent out to me. They came with the matching mini-butts. Just a question for you, since you have played with both the cues. Did you realised that the Cocobolo butted 1 piece ash cue is not dead straight? There is a very slight kink 3/4 way up the shaft, if you were to roll it on the slate bed, it doesn't roll true. Other than this minor fault, the cue is playing great, a very well balanced cue. The other 3/4 piece cue doesn't have this problem and it's playing good too.

    If I had known earlier, I'd have gotten it straighten by the cue maker who did the other alterations on these cues.

    The 2 TW cues were acquired only recently, in fact, a few days back . As I shuttle between Brunei and Malaysia, I keep the JP 'Superior' n O'Min 'Union' in Brunei while the other cues are being kept in Malaysia, Yes, I do use all of them. My favorite was the JP 'Utimate' but now having played with both the TW's, especially the Cocobolo butted 1 piece ash cue, it has become my new favorite. The balance point is at 18.5" from butt and the shaft is stiff but responsive.

    These are some of my cues, 2 Trevor White's, 1 John Parris 'Ultimate'(Thuya Burr splice). I've another 3/4 piece JP 'Superior' Cue and an O'Min 'Union' 1 piece cue. All ash wood shafts. Recently placed an order for 2 more cues from Robin Cook and another 1 from Trevor White, all 3 cues will only be ready in 45wks from now! A long wait.......................

    May get a Hunt & O'bryne 1 piece ash shaft cue in the near future.
