Worst cues in the world. I know two people with Arch Fine Cues and they are ****e, far too heavy. 1 of them is 22oz and the other 20-21oz. The bloke that makes these came into the snooker club I practice at when the coaching was on and basically tried to sell a **** load. His basic cues start at £250 for cue,case and extensions and are possibly the biggest rip off in the world.

Only reason they are this price is because of the shops they are sold in (can't remember the name atm but it's the one Fayed the Fulham owner, owns).

Harrods

?

Thats the one, he said he sells them there for between £3000 and £4000.

Well would any of the users of this forum take one for free if you couldn't sell it? I mean if you had to take it and play with it, for free would you? I'm not trying to knock the cue maker, good luck to him, but I just can't imagine playing with one of these cues and making it out of the club in 1 piece!

I've played with one before so if I was offered one for free, I'd take it and then sell it.

We should all ask this guy a load of stupid questions to annoy him

The only reason I know anything about these cues are because a 'snooker coach' who goes to the same club has a cue which is 22oz lol (he isn't the silver one) and the cuemaker doesn't live far from Newcastle.

"cues like ours cannot be purchased with any other company anywhere in the world"

no, that's right, 22oz for a snooker cue must be quite unique! I've never even seen a pool cue that heavy! It's probably all the silver, lol.

[LWB]

I know a very good pool player that plays with a 23oz cue. This cue to me looks like something you'd get at argos. Obviously though there's a market there for them! Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

[-Matty-]

No thats the weight of the 'normal' cues i.e. without the silver hegeland.

That's madness, nearly as much as a snooker table! lol. No one has bid on that yet, and I doubt anyone will. As if you're going to spend £2000 on a pool cue, you'd rather not purchase it from eBay!

[Wity]

£2000 lol he'll be lucky. The last one on ebay went fo £600.

Personally, it would bother me that every time I changed my tip I was doing in £15 worth of my ferrule!
