Lovely looking cue les and the shaft is a cracker! i wonder who did the work on it thou as i have been friends with Stu for a very long while and bought many off him and he doesnt normally do all this work as far as i know unless hes just started to as he doesnt mind doing odd ferrule etc but i dont think he had lathe there to do joints etc?
Les let us all know what the Ferrule plays like when you have it back mate, you maybe able to Screw alot better now!...ha ha ha...:snooker:
Hi Guys I sent my GBL back to Stu to have 2" cut off re shape the shaft, put a new black ferrule on and reset the joint. He just sent photos this morning. Cue should be in my hands Wednesday.
Gaz.

Alan Day did all the work, he did a fantastic job. The joint was uneven and now it is absoultly perfect. The length of the cue feels great and it is deffinatly not too stiff. Compared to my JP it really hits soft and they both have the same tip. To me I feel like it will make it easier to control the cue ball. I compare the feel to chipping from the side of a green with a Titelist Pro V or a Topflite.
That I don't know jrc, if you ran your hand over the joint it was uneven so it would grab on my shirt. I am not sure how he could get it right without spinning it on something.

After a 19 month wait I finally picked up my ultimate from John today. Seems to be what I asked for. I wasn't too concerned over the evenness of the arrow spacing, but did ask for a maximum of 7 as I don't like it too cluttered. I asked for a tight side grain, bit of give basically a playable cue without being whippy. Should be able to take it for a test run tomorrow/monday. Pics aren't the best as I have my phone to hand atm.

Well I can't tell what they actually are as I don't have any calipers tape measure or scales here, but it should be 58" 9.6 18.25oz or at least that's what I ordered
What I would love one day is for someone with a few quid to buy a JP ultimate cue rip the badge off it and stick a David Wu or another cheap make on, and stick it on this thread just to see how many people would actually reply.
