    Has anybody bought a cue from Thailand directly? If so what are best ones? Heard very good things about cues from there.

    Maximus and ton Praram have been doing good things with excellent reviews all round, around 500£ for a hand made cue.

    Phoenix, omin, precision, have always been known to make good cues at the lower end of the price range at around 150-180£ for a custom cue

      Just risk of not trying cue first is putting me of...but they all look excellent.

              I think Stupree is about to place another order with Ton Praram, much easier through Stu, he was really helpful and as he orders in "bulk" the delivery and customs charges work out less and he gives you a price delivered right to your door so you have no hassle at all. Very happy with my cue although its just a Series 1, custom made to your specs for a great price.

                waiting on a ton praram,had 3 others from other makers,to be honest there all very much the same in the standard of ash and maple,think the finish makes the difference.

                  I took delivery of a Ton Praram Series II last Monday. Can't fault it. If you know what you want spec wise (and I mean EXACTLY) you can take some of the risk out of buying "blind".

                    Anybody paying the prices that John Parris is asking are absolutely insane, I bought an LP package for around 60 UK pounds and it is a very well made cue, also came with case and extensions .... great value for any player .... I also use Elk tips.

                      I wouldn't say insane, my brother has a jp and its absolutely stunning, it plays very well too. for snooker I find the tip a bit small (8.5mm I think) but he plays very well with it and when it comes to pool, he's a different level altogether but then that's him not the cue, I would say though that it's probably the nicest cue I've played pool with, absolutely perfect.
                      he got all extensions etc. for a very reasonable price second hand and they tend to hold their resell value too which is a bonus.

                      absolutely nothing wrong with the Thai cues though, I've seen some really nice examples, I was actually thinking of buying my buddy one for his birthday later in the year but will have a good look about first.

                        Suppose you're entitled to voice an opinion but it's not really relevant to the thread! Poster was asking about Thai cues.

                            I probably shouldn't have bitten at that....
