    Blimey, and you believe this.?

    There's an old saying "don't believe everything you hear".

    In this case, it very much applies.

        Thanks guys. Yes the cheap labour cost makes sense. No I can't even try Master cue and will have to trust the who is sending it from another city. So it shall be the same case for both options. I am not going for a custom cue yes but then I want the cue to be 59 inches. My current cue is 60 inches and I am used to with it but then 59 inches would suit me well too. The problem is max standard size is 58 and 59 is not available for every cue otherwise I might have asked them to bring me a Peradon Eden or York I like them both.

        Also tell me if Omin and Pheonix are linseed oil finished? I am not going for any machine spliced or lacquered/varnished crap.

        I wrote to GBL and Mr Green responded. He is a nice guy but the 59 inches cues he had were like 300 pounds plus I am looking forward to get a cue, a mini butt extension and a hard case for like 250 pounds and I still think this is a good budget for a hand made English cue...

        By the way I won't mind used cue if the condition is good and it matches my specs.

        Master Blaster things are sort of ok here in Pakistan. I am not sure what the media would be reporting. But yes these are dangerous times. The military is doing a touch operation in the areas bordering Afghanistan and due to that the baddies are trying their best to bomb cities and people in order to spread chaos and demoralise the military. However, after the attack on the school and killing of about 500-700 under 18 children including 7 and 6 year olds, the government and military are on the same page and trying to nib this evil in the bud. The problem is that there are still some *******s in good clothing who are selling their motherland for a few dollars more. But I am very much hopeful that this menace shall be curbed soon. Things are moving positively now so lets see. But then you never know what would happen next. May God protect us all.

        Cheers.

            Sidd:

            Check out the string 'Cue Listed on Ebay' on here from Old School. He has 2 cues up although the 3/4-butt might be a bit short for you. Not sure if you can access ebay.co.uk in your country though.

            I would still recommend ADR147 who can pick out a very good (usually used) cue for you at your price and including mini-butt. As long as you tell him exactly what you want. Another option if you are able to is an O'Min cue from Thailand. I have had 2 of these in the past and they are very good.

              Seems like a good idea. I shall check with ADR147.
