I do believe that if many british makers dropped their prices to something approaching reality rather than asking for a price that someone somewhere in the far east flushed with new money is prepared to pay, then a lot more british people would be buying and playing with british hand made cues.
Come on peeps, support your home market.
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,
