Nice looking cue. How does it play?

I'm curious too...I've seen how beautiful his cues are but am keen to hear what people think about the playability compared with TW and MW?

Well with my new tip on it played really well last night, it is a fair bit chunkier (nearly 10 mm ferrule) than my usual cue and consequently a fair bit stiffer too, but the balls kept going in so that makes it a success in my book. One of the better players had a go too and he loved it. Another friend is borrowing it tonight and going on looks alone he is very impressed with it.
Hard to compare it to other cue makers as all cues play different anyway, the TW's iv'e had played terrible, far too stiff and lifeless (but that's just my opinion on them, others may love them), my regular playing cue came from Mike and is still the best cue (that suits me) iv'e had.

New Andy Hunter cue, Nonpareil & old snakewood front spliced Mannock

There's an old guy in my club who would love that mannock, in his 70's but still likes to play.

very smart

Very nice cue that Crispin one.

Cheers
Came with a Mui tip on it, i just can't play with a rock hard laminated tip on a cue, the noise they make is horrendous, so just put on one of my old faithful Mike Wooldridge supertips and hoping it now plays like i want it too

Simply put if a cuemaker is going to offer ebaono then they should incorporate into their cue ranges with a simple checkbox feature if they have a website, could be as simple as if you were ordering a cue from parris and have the option in the checkout as ebony butt\ebano butt and a link showing the differences.

I looked it up, It as got good reviews for performance and appearance, If you like a light cue, 15, 16 or 17oz and advertized as ebony, I would give it a second look, sounds like weights will be needed to go over 17 and over and keep a half decent balance point. I is also very stable and works well with normal tools. I have no problem them selling this as long as they are up front with product and use of weights. I personally dont like to have any weights in cues, but then I am not building them. Cheers

I think it depends what someone wants out of a cue. Composites like this have been used for years in musical instrument making. Even some expensive gibson les Paul's have composite fingerboards, and they perform well and are popular with performers. But... you wouldn't want it on a collectors item, or an older guitar or an antique violin. Same with cues i suppose, if you want a cue only for its performance I doubt ebobo/ebonex is going to affect much if you're happy with the weight if its attached to a decent shaft. It's more sustainable and cheaper, so i'd imagine it will be more of a norm in the future

Its a kind of wooden substitute, doesn't have the weight of ebony but meant to feel a lot like it. Can buy blocks or precut splices of it here https://www.cuemakerssupplies.co.uk/...ocument&part=2
