j6 cues

[j6uk]

pro cue prep work


finished off the final details of my first made to measure cue for a top tour player, will start splicing tomorrow.

[Stevie1]

Are you going to badge it up jason and tell us who he is

[j6uk]

not sure about the badge yet, but if it ticks all the boxes i will reveal the player on the cue review.

[Stevie1]

Well am sure he will love it what is he picking for splice wise

[j6uk]

he didnt say and i didnt ask. i had a few shots with his cue and checked the resonance. then as i was measuring it and taking notes he was saying what he liked/ didnt like, as well as the kind of cue he feels he needs.
but i know what snooker payers are like so im under no illusions that this will be his future playing cue, though im quietly confident in the cue itself cus i know from wrestling with it that this ash is king kongs choice.

anyway time will tell..

Top 4 look to be happy with their cues I would say.
Is it Hawkins

Or perhaps it's a pool player maybe

Lol miss read it.
Top tour player and not a top four player :biggrin-new::biggrin-new::biggrin-new:

Do you mean stiff?

not really, its not overly stiff but its the toughest tree in the jungle that iv ever come across

You've been grafting away with the cues for a while now. It would be great to see one being used on the tour.
The effort you've put in and keeping the thread updated etc..... Not to mention your video seriesis great.

I'm sure the player is going to get a great cue.

Gotta agree with that.
Really enjoyed the progress of this thread, the pics and explanations.
Love the fact that J has now progressed to jigs so is always moving forward.

Is this bit confidential?

I'll go Maguire: if it's a Sweep

[matthias]

VERY COOL JASON!!!
must be the ultimate praise if one of yours will be used in the main tour.
would be like a 147 IN CUE MAKING

cheers lads, yeah im walking a windy path thats for sure.. as for the player hes in his early 20s, and after taking the measurements and a few pics of his cue he went on to make a max in a sparing sesh on the next table to me so, i know iv got my work cut out.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Just to be asked is a feather in your cap.

Gotta be in it to win as they say!

At the very least, get some pics for a future website even if he's just there as a visit!

[j6uk]

yeah marc, it was a buzz to have a very nice player ask you to make them a cue, though im starting to feel it a bit now getting to the crunch point when all the prepping has been done and the pieces need to slot together.
as long as it plays as i expect im happy regardless. it actually comes of the same trunk as the last cue a few pages back.
