I bought a Ton Praram cue from Green Baize and couldn't be more satisfied with it after approximately 80 hours of play. I live in Canada so obviously wasn't able to try any cues before purchasing. However I put my trust in Stu Green at GBL and he suggested Maximus or Praram which met my specifications (3/4; 18oz; 9.8 tip) . Based on comments on this forum I made the decision to buy the Praram (295 pounds) which arrived at my door 5 days (including a weekend) after ordering. I found Stu Green's service and attention to be absolutely top notch and recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a cue.
I bought an 3/4 Omin 'Climax' cue from Bangkok in Aug 2016 for about A$315, incl one short tele-extension and a 3/4 pseudo leather case. Went to the Omin factory next to the river. Picked out a cue from their rack, tried it, then told them what length and weight i wanted. They fixed it up in an hour. It plays well, no major issues with it. 56'', 18.5oz, 9.75mm blue diamond 'pressed' tip. Bargain. I also seen a few Maximus cues around at my snooker club, they look good too. I used to own a Parris Regal cue for about 20 years, and it got nicked. It was 57'', 20oz, 9.5mm...In retrospect too heavy for me. Happy with the Omin. Does the job.

Did you climax when you played with it? :highly_amused:
I have owned a Gbl, adr 147 and now a niche cue, they are all excellent quality and you can't go wrong with most top Thai cue makers, although I still can't play like I did with my old Hunt and O'byrne, that I stupidly sold lol
I went into a chemist and asked for a deodorant, the assistant said "ball, stick or aerosol", "No, I want it for under my arms!" was my reply.
