cues for about 100 pounds

[nickylunes]

im looking at buying a cue in the region of 100 to 150 pounds. does anyone have any recomendations.

Barring a custom hand built job from the top makers you have a pretty good choice for that kinda money. What spec etc tickles your fancy?

You can buy a custom made mastercraft cue for 150

well i could do with an extension with it because im only a midget. also i would prefer a 2 piece 3/4 length. any suggestions! last night i was playing with a peradon which seemed quite good but just a little lite.

Do a search on the forum for:

Craftsman
Cue Craft
Peradon
Dunns
Welsh Pool Trading
Mastercue
O'min
Unique

all will do a good job.

Have a look on ebay as well once your familiar with some and look for a bargain.

hey thanks alot for those makes ,thats a real help. i like the look of those dunns cues.

Dunns !!!! I thought you wanted a cue not a tomatoe plant stick?

Well okay I've only ever seen pictures of them. but ask youself though, If the website is "english" and they claim to be made in Thialand how come the seller of them is in hong kong where they are shipped from?

A Chinaman can be just as good as any other chippy maybe even better but the whole chinese cue industry is only interested in mass producing cheap cues and flogging them abroad. I'd bet Dunns is some ex pat in hong kong and his mate still here in the uk.

Take a look at Geordiepool for whats probably the best of the chinese made cues sold in the uk. then come back and comment.

Mate you can't advise the guy that its a **** cue if you havn't seen or played with one (admitidly neither have i but i was just giving him some options)

Have you played with all the above makes?

Yes I can and did. Dunns cues are cheap, cheaper than any Thai cue bought new direct from a Thai factory so they most likely are made in china where they are sold from. The chinese as I said can make as good a cue as anyone but they dont simply because there is no profit in doing so. They cant sell a quality cue in their own country let alone export one. Most of the serious players out there play with Thai cues and the wealthier ones with British made ones.

Have you played with all the above makes?

Thats an irrelevent question as a £20 cue nor a £2000 will pot the balls for you. Idiots buy a top quality cue thinking it'll improve their game which it never will.

fairy muff - thats your opinion, it may also be mine, it may be right, it may be wrong, but the lad asked for help and i gave him a bit of direction.

[Wity]

Nowt wong with the others you suggested he look to but you cant put dunns in the same league hell they dont even have an addess or a phone number, the info on the site is 50% bull**** and if you think this is quality think again..

ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=012

Look at the butt/badge pictue:

I've seen price tickets on a pack of brillos more attractive than that

You sound that you really dislike dunns cues? what benefits are there for you to ruin their reputations?

Has Mike Wooldridge got a telephone number contact on his website?

Has Trevor White's cues got a website?

Do you know how bad John Parris cues are at the beginning of their business? Uneven splices; cracks in ebony, loose joints etc???

I think you are actually talking 100% bullxxit. x

You live in a sad little life i am afraid.good night

[Wity]

roflmao. How can I ruin the reputation for selling crap cues Dunns have ?

night night dick head /aka John Dunn

[Wity]

Nickylunes, theres a Craftsman Dominator 3/4 cue with extensions & case on ebay now i'd seriously consider bidding up to say a ton for though i suspect it'll go fo 70-80 tops.. check it out..

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=009

Case looks naff but if the spec is to your liking and it's straight thats a nice quality thai cue finished in the uk and as good as any thia cue you'll find and better than many english ones.

[BITTER]

Wity are you upsetting people again ?
