Yep spotted and shared on my fb page. I think it is awful!! I can see how sombody may have thought this may be a good looking cue in theory with the matching case but the end result is ghastly.

I happen to like it, its different and looks rather unique compared to most cues which are very common by design. I happen to like those colours though so I guess its a personal taste.

Comes with 2 x spare 9mm tips eh ? The motoring equvalent is chucking in a set of floormats & mudflaps. .

The seller doesn't mention if the cue has a 9mm ferrule . Could be 10mm, could be 8.5mm.

Absolutely. It looks to me like a lot of cues that fill the lower end of the market and not a fine piece of craftsmanship. I guess my tastes are for cues to show off woods in their natural state and dyed veneers dont fit in to that view for me.

Sorry to say but its ugly.

Tend to agree , for some reason Blue , Green and Red don't look good on cues in my opinion .

The exception being those Welsh coloured front splice cues ( Welsh shark etc etc ) I.M.O.

I have see the odd cue with coloured veneers that looks stunning. JRC had a nice H&O with red veneers and cocobola and there have been a few others but as a rule they are not for me. I also do not like cue with marquetry and inlays such as the MW Sharks and the JP Limited Edition. I've had both

I'm not one for coloured veneers, but that is very striking JRC.

The jp looks a bit odd, why go for dark veneers on a dark wood? 0_o
