**Post Pictures of your cue!**

[Neil Taperell]

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.

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 .

Very very nice looking cues those.

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.

That's still a fair price in my opinion for a handmade UK Cue .

What do you think Thai Son ??? Good price ?

From Reg's website :

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.

Looks like the RW cue has taken a lead from Mike Wooldridge's f1 joint with the lettering around it.

[thai_son22]

Just saw reg website and he's increased his prices. The plain ebony are now £340. Prices increasing everywhere

[jrc750]

Nice cues lads
Like the white badge too, butt joint looks virtually identical to Wooldridge ??

[Stevie1]

Yes a like the but joints aswell

[Neil Taperell]

Nice pics mate ...........not sure which badge colour i prefer . Both look good .

Finish looks excellent in those pics , couldn't get my images that good .

[qc2]

My signature cue is on the way too. These are the pics I have from Reg:

[Neil Taperell]

P.S

Forgot to add ......his standard range are on a par pricewise with Thai Cues .

So for me it's a no brainer .......UK made cue all day long .

[Neil Taperell]

Cheers for posting Dean , no idea how to reduce images from an Ipad !

Unfortunately the lighting is affecting the images , so not doing the cue justice .

Right , about the cue & Reg .

Finish is very smooth , nice balance to the cue and a flex in the shaft . So not a stiff cue .

This is one of the first ' Signature ' Cues in Reg's new range , and he had a slight delay in getting the joints . So my 6 week manufacturing period turned into 7/8 weeks .

But for a UK handmade cue to be turned around in that time is fantastic . I believe that he is very busy at the moment as well .

I like the way that the joint is individually numbered , and you also get a certificate .........so does go a long way to hinder the fake cue makers out there .


Throughout the process i was emailed , telephoned with updates and twice sent photos of the actual cue in various stages . Proper customer service .

On speaking to Reg , you can tell how passionate he is about cue making . He has been developing the joint for many years .

I just hope the cue plays as well as it feels and looks .


Hopefully Reg will come on here to explain more about his new range , new joint etc........ but this guy , in my opinion , is going places !

And finally , i think his prices are very reasonable when comparing to the established elite . [ Shocked to see the cheapest Ultimate at £1k now ]
