    Playability wise this cue fees superb. Lively ,responsive with solid hit and good feedback. Nothing else to add.

    Although I see that you are an expert in that field if you can determine how it feels by just looking at the pics.

        Thanks for saving me posting that I thought it was a pants reply.

        While I might believe it if an expert had a magnifying glass on it; I struggle that it can be done from a pic.....

          Why cant you explain what to look for? It can't be that hard As you can tell from a photo.

            all i can see from thi pics is it dont look any better than a cheap woods cue. It might play ok but is it really woth the money ? for example can the person use it ?

            i should shut up now before i get my self in some trouble..sorry if i have offended anyone.

              I'm only offended by the lack of explanation.

                It's more a matter of personal preference.
                Some players prefer more or less arrows/or tight grain pattern/ or ..........

                Something looks like cheap to me, may looks like expensive to someone else.
                But wether you could judge the playability of the cue just by the look of it??
                I doubt it.

                When it comes to making a cue by hand, the most important part is selecting a piece of decent wood to start with.

                well, in this case Richy is an experienced cue maker not to mention an decent player as well.
                I've dealed with him and his work is as good as any JP/TW/MW. ... and other top cue makers. ( not suggesting anyone has denied this part btw . generaly speaking ).

                On a second note, you are buying a cue online without first trying it . The cue may not suits your game (regardless of who the cue maker is ). The only way to know for sure is trying it out .

                      You could be right Warren I believed I could tell the quality of a shaft just by feeling it.

                          Yes well feeling it makes more sense as opposed to looking at a pic

                            You won't find a better ash cue for this sort of money.

                            Grab yourself a bargain whilst you can.

                                I'm saying 17oz is a bit on the light side for a snooker cue
                                The weight of the cue
