About others

Please do not confuse this website, nor compare me directly, with the myriad of cue 'sales' sites on the internet, and various claims of 'experts' or offers of 'top quality/best value' etc., etc..

If you do not know what you are looking for, you may be drawn in, and ultimately make an unwise purchase.

Don't get me wrong, there are some legitimate, honest traders out there, but please just be aware that some things are not what they are dressed up to be, and the majority are merely drop shippers who hold no stock, never even see the cues they sell you, and to be perfectly honest, do not have a clue what is or isn't a good cue.

Nobody can deny the importance of 'shopping around'. We all have a budget and you would be foolish not to check as many places as possible, comparing like for like products to get the best price.

But that is exactly the point - be very, very careful that you are comparing EXACTLY the same product...

A hand made cue for £100 somewhere online WILL NOT be the same as a genuine Mike Wooldridge cue. If you don't already know this, trust me, you will find out one day.

A good cue is worth it's weight in gold. It will serve you a lifetime, if you look after it, and will help you play the game to the best of your ability.

That 'bargain' cue you bought, or are about to buy, may quickly find it's way to the bin and you'll be back searching for a new one next year...

Remember this proverb:

'All that glisters, is not gold...'

About me

I started playing snooker and pool long before I started making cues. As a seasoned century break player myself, I know what makes a good cue. One that not only looks superb but, more importantly, 'feels' right.

One day I started 'making' cues. Nobody taught me. I did everything myself.

It took years to learn what I know now. I had to 'think outside of the box' and find my own ways of doing things. But I knew what the end result should be, and through years of hard work and determination, I gained respect the World over for making the best cues money can buy.

So, I am not just a random businessman who bought some machines, turned them on, and watched cues fall out the other end!

Also, I never bought a domain name, commissioned some third party to design an online shop, and then fill it with whatever goods I could lay my hands on, often simply taking orders then drop shipping a product I've never even seen.

I know my business, and I care about what I do and the people I deal with.

I was a player first, and then I became a cue maker. No machines, and no amount of money can buy what I know. I make cues because I love making cues. And there is nobody better.

When you deal with me, you will quickly realise you are dealing with someone who truly knows what they are talking about, and fully understands what you want.

Because I was once a player.

Just like you...
