j6 cue stories

Hi Jason

Just wondering ... Is the cue from the very fist post still your playing cue or have you made a cue you like so much that it will become your new playing cue ?

ive not changed but im kinda falling for this cue, though havent really given it too much time on the table as of yet.
its an old rex williams cue that i customised, its on this thread a few pages back

this was 57"/9mm and im taking it down to 56.7/8.25mm. should be ready late next week

Couldn't agree more Matt, on mine the finish is exceptional IMO, balance is lovely , perfect flex in the shaft ,just an all round great cue, if you are not a badge snob and want a player, get one of these.

thanks jim, i'll be making a few more around this spec. still learning and hope to go one better next time

cheers mate

Hi Guys

I just have to give a review to this one

I've been following this thread for some time now,
and was really impressed with the amount work & time Jason puts in
making cues & giving advice to people.

I've was not feeling confident with my previous cue , so thought why not drop him a line

After I gave the specs & design I liked, I immediately got a few options of cues Jason thought would be nice.

so
I just received this one yesterday, after in insane wait of 2 Weeks or so hahaha

all I can say it was well packed & looked fantastic when I received it yesterday at the office

so off to the club in the evening.
I could'n believe how well it played, I really felt like I couldn't miss a shot.

really strange the power that this thing generates is insane.
I've never had that before, but it just brought a smile to my face.

normaly I feel I need to give some extra power to get what I want (something I need to work on)
but yesterday I just floated them all in generating spin like there was no tomorrow

before I knew it it was 3 hours later, hahaha

all I can say if you are thinking about a new cue, drop jason a line,
he's more than helpfull and a true craftsman.

so enough of this ass kissing

cheers

the new jig is coming along, ready for a busy spring



and it fits well

[golferson123]

yeah i see it, though id need more time in the dust to make a proper judgment.
im using that tight grain rex williams cue at the mo and im liking the give in it.. would you say broad has less give?

dont know but i have found broad grain is quieter and sweeter hitting, just a preference really, each to their own

[j6uk]

so j how do you feel regarding tight grain vs broad grain?

Well how long is turnaround

maybe couple of months

The shaft on the right hand side looks the best a think

maybe, not down to their final cut yet
