From what I've read on here they're inconsistent, even with their 3* range. Happy customers and unhappy customers. I guess for the price some people might think it's worth a punt, but if things go wrong they don't seem all that keen to sort it out. For me that's when you find out what a company's like, so I wouldn't recommend them to my friends. Also, if the cue is no good, you've probably already been stung for import taxes, so you might end up paying that twice to sort out issues, and that's your saving gone.

I've done some minor work on a few Woods cues for some friends and they certainly look nice, but I'm not entirely convinced by their quality. Their bundles a very tempting at that price and I know some people have gotten some quality cues from them, but equally there have been some of questionable quality. If I'm parting with my money, I want to be sure I'm getting a consistent product. If you're not looking to break the bank then I'd save a bit more and go with something like Mastercue. Stu at Green Baize sorted me out with mine years ago and I've been amazed by the quality at even the lowest price point. Of course, at the end of the day it's up to you, if you're happy taking a chance on them, then by all means!

Stu sorted me out too. I was only after a cue to tie me over for a few months, but he found me a Mastercue which I'll probably hold on to, or at least pass on to a friend. With a company like Greenbaize, any cue you buy has already been checked for quality. Also, if you have a problem it gets sorted with no fuss. I had a problem with a case from Greenbaize, and I had a replacement in my hands in a few days. That kind of service is worth more than saving a few pounds IMO

I was watching a video today on how to make billiard cues; it was a US one and they called them cue sticks so it must be a US thing (possibly!).

ive just bought a woods maple cue while my parris is getting repaired.looks stunning but cant feel that solid feel through the hit,feels a bit hollow
ok for the money but if you can afford it spend more for a real quality cue

[raghavnrrp]

Thanks so much...I will plan for a cue from greeanbaize or master cue thailand

They are the worse quality and the Company is simply awful. I ordered a 3/4 Ash 60" it came with a case designed for a 58. No big deal, I'll live with it. I ordered another for a friend the same. A month later he shows me where the splicing on the butt was cracking. Concerned, I took a closer look at mine and sure enough it was cracking too. I contacted the company with the following

Hello. I have 2 cues I purchased in August and December. I have been very pleased with them. Unfortunately the butts are splitting where the Wood crest is mounted.

Their response, Hi,we checked these cues are OK before shipment,sometimes over-tight by tele.extension or forced racks cue on hard ground may this phenomenon. How about we offer you a big discounted price to purchase another?

I replied, This is no PHENOMEMON ! No hitting on the ground or an over tightened extension. This is 2 out of 4 cues with defects. The splits go right through where you drilled for your crest. It is quite obvious they are stress fractures . These cues are only a few months old and used once a week by seniors at the snooker hall. After I purchased my cue, I convinced 3 others to order one. Now they are all waiting to see How Woods is going to rectify the problem. How Woods is going to make it right. The way I see it replacing the defected butts is the only solution.

Woods then came back with they would replace the cues if I was to pay for shipping. Even though I knew they should pay as shipping was included in the order, I wanted my cues so I agreed to pay $82 to send to Canada.

Today I received my replacements. Woods sent me 2, 58" 1 piece parlor cues. No splicing, no case, no extensions. They are basically 2 painted sticks. Terrible stick even for a pool hall. The value on the Customs form stated that they were $18 each. This company was at one time a UK family business who built a reputation for quality. The company was purchase by a Chinese group. You do not get the quality of a good British cue. They do not stand by their product. AVOID AT A COST. Pay a bit more and be happy with your cue
