MKR cues

[chipper1977]

So I've taken a gamble and ordered an MKR cue from Pakistan. Anyone heard of them or got any experience of their cues?

All I know is that ex-pro Hamza Akbar uses/used a MKR cue.

Ok, that's pretty cool then. At least i know there is some quality/heritage there. All i can say is they were very easy and good to deal with, so hoping for the best

[DeanH]

Can I ask how did you contact them, details of the cue, timescale for delivery, and (being cheeky) how much -ish

[chipper1977]

OK, so I contacted them via Facebook on their official site, then WhatsApp, told them what I wanted and they showed me what they had ready made or could do a custom order. I wanted something quicker (they quoted 10-12 days delivery) , so it's a 1 piece ultimate edition with titanium ferrule, 3 extensions, cue case and delivered to the uk. I don't wanna feel like a mug if I've been ripped off, so if you say what you think that's worth and then I'll let you know (ish) what I paid 😉

Yeah I hope so too. I'll be honest, i don't think i've been duped and if the cue is half as good as it sounds then i'll be happy. Here's a cryptic clue on how much.... less than double the cost of the most expensive cue on argos.

Delivered? Then it sounds a cracking deal for hopefully a cracking cue and set
Can't wait to see what you get

[chipper1977]

Yes delivered. which was probably about a third of the cost unfortunately

Nick Barrow did a quick review of these about 7 years ago. Scroll to about 5 mins 30 secs. Nice pair of Connoisseurs.
