Why do you rate Tony Glover? Never played with one of his cues, just curious as to what made you recommend him.

Having used the brands you mention above you know what a quality cue looks and feels like. Other than a A grade maple shaft what playing qualities are you looking for from the cue? Guessing stiff shaft as you want maple, but do you want more weight forward in the cue etc? A few other Thai brands have that quality in them (forward weight) like Maximus for example.

I don't really think it matters who makes the cue tbh as long as they are reputed for quality. A lot of folks on here have spoken to Stu Green at Green Baize about what characteristics they are looking for in a cue and he understands this subject really well. Every piece of wood is different and will have its own characteristics so having one made to your spec is not necessarily going to play how you want it to... I recommend going somewhere like Green Baize and trying a number of different cues to see which one feels best to you.

Tony is a great cue maker, I have had a few of his cues and they were all top quality. His prices are reasonable (not cheap, but better value than most), waiting time was around six months and his workmanship is top notch.
