lLovely work by the way , what spec do you think it will come in at ?

cheers mate, at the moment its 59/10/28.5/19bp/18oz

I own a one piece , m/s Tiger Maple that has a Weildings weight stamp , solid hit , great cue . Tony Glover has an absolutely fantastic Reece with a Tiger Maple shaft that puts mine to shame . I have no doubt , Jason , that your cue will have a really solid hit but dont get distracted when the table lights highlight the rings . Lovely work by the way , what spec do you think it will come in at ?

I played for a while with an old machine spliced one which was refurbed by Sean Parker. Played very nice too.

haven't played with many curly maple cues but this has straight grain so im expecting a firm crisp hit.. not easy to work cutting across the curl lines, lots more sanding

Out of Internet does the curly maple play any differently to normal maple?

i wasn't happy with the depth of the flat on my new playing cue so i put on a front splice and cut in a shallower flat.
will be taking this and a few others to the table tomorrow..

can't remember the last time i played with a snooker cue with a 18bp, with that light butt feel timing and accuracy was a bit of a struggle. could flatter it more if i had a few more sessions with it.

Be interesting how it would play if it had an additional weight added to the butt to bring the BP further back......

Liked that, cue looks good.

Like the way you trickle the balls into the pockets, certainly positive mate!

i took it down to 58 and would say medium to stiff response
