  • The real work is the shaft, then weighting it right, everything else is decoration..
    So you could spend the summer just cutting shafts. Then from there it's possible to turn a cue around within a week including the fine tuneings.

      Cool. I couldn't dream of making a cue, I wouldn't know where to start.

          • Cue Review - first post on page 26.
            Cue - Ash, Maple Front Splice, Bubinga wood.
            Tip of Choice - Talisman 10mm medium (shaved down to 9.4)
            Previous cues used - Maximus Premium, ADR 147 (both Ash).
            both previous cues have similar specs.


            I should have written this review a while ago but feel it is the right time. I have been reading a lot of "JP" hate (warranted or not) so I thought why not put up something positive?

            This cue is an absolute gem in terms of its looks and feel. I cannot compare the feeling to anything that I have tried or played with. I didn’t start of well with the cue but after much practice of my cue action and just table time I am starting to reap the rewards of what the cue has to offer.

            Also learned an important lesson to not share my cue with anyone. A friend wanted to play a few shots and I obliged, the very first shot with my new cue he plays a 10ft deep screw and split the tip in half. If he wasn't a friend I would have bashed his skull in with hammer. In hindsight - I was forced the replace the tip and put on my favorite - Talisman medium. That is when I truly felt one with the cue. So maybe I shouldn't hate my friend.
            Long story shot - I highly recommend Jason's work. He was very upfront in the beginning about cost, wood selection, and in general answered every question. The only thing I didn't like was that the grain of the shaft wasn’t filled, but now I have gotten used to it and it actually worked out better because I don't focus on my cue but what is infront of me.

            Cheers Jason - keep up the great work! I know I will not be buying a JP or any other "top end" cue anytime soon.

                            Is there any other way? I’m a long time lurker, not quite/at all active, so the board does not allow me to send PMs. ��
