Snooker

Looking for some advice,was thinking of buying a Craftsmen with pro ash shaft.
But read on this forum that they wax cues.Would you advise to get the cue unwaxed?
My other question,is about something i read on another snooker forum.Saying that craftsmen and mastercraft are the same cues with a different badge on them[think guy said they were imported from asia and finished off here] is this true and if so what company do they get them from?

Hope you can help a newbie

both are good cues – a craftsman with a pro ash shaft is not imported its made on site in kippax leeds.

can always rely on you buddy .
What about the finish,simon recomends the wax finish,whats your opinion.As i know trevor white and mike wooldridge dont finish with wax.
Also do you think the pro ash shaft is worth the 60 pound extra,if you’ve seen one.

Craftsman & Mastercraft are very similiar in terms of quality & pricing & both offer great value for money, but are not the same cues badged differently.

Craftsman have 2 ranges one is made on there premises from scratch one is imported i think & finished here, either way quality is good for the money.

Wouldn’t worry to much about wax etc as long as the finish is done well whatever it is it doesn’t matter, down to personal preference & what feels right which will be different to each of us depending on what experience we’ve had of each.

The 2 makers you’ve mentioned will provide you with a very nice cue at a very good price…….
