A new "Signature" Joint, this joint I designed back in 1993. It's universal (used as a 3/4 joint or for the extension) It's made out of aircraft aluminium to maintain the natural forward balance of the cue. The joint has a rebate in the flange to give the shaft strength to stop it splitting. The joint is engraved with a unique number and also anodised.

Hmm, think i'll take that with a pinch of salt. Not incredibly believable considering the f1 joint has been out a while and this looks very much like it and has only recently surfaced.
That's still a fair price in my opinion for a handmade UK Cue .
What do you think Thai Son ??? Good price ?
I think it depends on the quality or where you rate the cues. Many years ago I sold a couple of cues badged up by ADR which were from mastercraft. If those were priced at £300, I wouldn't say they are worth it.
Parris charges £320 for a classic and robert charges £300 for a plain ebony red plate. I'd say if the cue matches craftsmanship and playability i'd say its worth it.
If the cue excels and the craftsmanship is lets say the same as an osborne green plate, then id say its a bargain haha.
I don't really know, i guess id have to see his cues individually and think if its worth the price.
the cue you have, i guess it was priced at £540 as was seen in his workshop. Osborne has his green plates starting at £500. do you think the craftsmanship or selection of shaft is on par with an osborne black plate for example. if it is then i think at the price its a bargain.
difficult one though tbh as reg isnt as known as other cue makers i suppose.

Just to add that £320 for a Parris classic only applies to 3/4, a 1pc as discussed earlier is a different realm completely in terms of cost. Not sure how much Osborne's pricing is affected by jointing if at all.

Excellent post , the thing with Robert is that you can't order a cue from him . Unless you go to his shop and he has one that he wants to sell .
