    Come on peeps, support your home market.
    Don't disagree with this vmax.

    Of all the cues I sell from different places, I prefer the Thai cues as I think they are great value for money and a quality and price range that I think meets a very good return on the money invested by a customer.

    If they have a great choice of woods (through mass purchasing of materials) and have been doing it for 20+ years then pound for pound they are exceptional value.

    If someone wants a well known badge then I guess they'll buy the badge cue regardless. I have a few makes of cue including a Paris but I use the cue that feels right and hits solid.

    Each to their own and I guess we are all searching for something different,

    Because that’s what people do on here buy cues at ridiculous prices only to sell them on in a few weeks as it’s not theone. I agree with you give it a fair chance play with it and get used to it. About Thai cues not being better than anywhere else in the world I have to disagree I personally think they are better made the quality of wood is better and their attention to detail is better and their craftsmanship better not saying all Thai cues are as some of the top British maker do make nice cues. I do agree with you on price some of the prices of British cues are ridiculous and some of the waiting times are a joke. But I think that comes from people ordering cues when they don’t even know what they really want spec wise or just want to try something different. Take a day out go to somewhere like greenbaize cues and try some and fine out exactly what you want beforehand.
