Here's my JP Ultimate 1407
This one comes with a bit of history... It is my first quality hand made cue which my wife gave me as a bday present back in Nov 2009. It was the main reason for me going back to playing snooker after a 2 year break. I played with this cue for 18 months during which I was really struggling to play anything close to decent snooker. My highlight with it was 1 good performance in a league tournament about a year after I first started playing with it. To make things even worse it developed a couple of cracks on the secondary splicings after about half a year which was also a big disappointment for me paying so much for it. Fortunately I came to the conclusion that my bad playing might not be because myself not being capable but because of this cue simply not fitting me. So I started looking for an alternative cue and with it came a gradual improvement in my game.
Today after having a little more knowledge on cues I can definitely say that it's a very good quality of a cue but it's just not good for me as I prefer more of a lighter cue and a forward balanced cue. This one has a very heavy butt.
It was over at JP's for a refinish and also filling of the cracks I mentioned about a month ago and although I know i'm not going to play with it anymore I will most probably just keep it for my collection
3/4 Ash shaft + Ebony butt + 4 secondary splices in snakewood with blue veneers.
