    I do believe that if many british makers dropped their prices to something approaching reality rather than asking for a price that someone somewhere in the far east flushed with new money is prepared to pay, then a lot more british people would be buying and playing with british hand made cues.
    Come on peeps, support your home market.
    Don't disagree with this vmax.

    Of all the cues I sell from different places, I prefer the Thai cues as I think they are great value for money and a quality and price range that I think meets a very good return on the money invested by a customer.

    If they have a great choice of woods (through mass purchasing of materials) and have been doing it for 20+ years then pound for pound they are exceptional value.

    If someone wants a well known badge then I guess they'll buy the badge cue regardless. I have a few makes of cue including a Paris but I use the cue that feels right and hits solid.

    Each to their own and I guess we are all searching for something different,

                          What's the rubber stopper in the butt?

                              Very nice grain on that cue. Usually expect to pay a premium these days for a shaft like that.
