Welcome Kevin:

Maybe you can post some photos of your cues along with ballpark prices? I know you sell a lot into the far east and also Canada's west coast, but not a lot of people on here are familiar with your cues and quite a few have never seen one.

I bought one from you in 2005 or 2006 but I got an offer from a guy in Montreal I couldn't refuse when I was down there for a tournament a long time ago and have since switch to another cuemaker.

Hi Kevin,

It's nice to see another fine cue maker on the forum. I've got a question for you regarding the maple shafts you use. What are the advantages of using laminated maple shafts compared to normal maple shafts? Does it give a more consistent hit?, lower deflection??? I see Marco Fu using one of your cues and by judging what I've seen from TV, the cue looks/feels quite stiff and Fu has to hit it a bit harder to get the necessary reaction especially on screw shots?

My understanding is a low deflection cue will help when potting balls and with playing side but might get less responsiveness and reaction. I'm not sure if it's Fu's technique of the attributes of the cue. I hope you can expand on my thoughts?

Hi Neil
Hope what you heard was all good -I always try to keep everyone happy.
I started repairing cues back in the late 70's until about 1988 when I started making
snooker cues for local customers .
I'm 57 now and started playing snooker in 1969
Thanks
Kevin
