The main difference in these two types of cues is simply the way
they are built. The cue on the left is a Machine Spliced cue, and though
it might have some decorative splices, it is a solid piece of wood, normally
Rosewood, Mahogany, or Ebony. You will see that
the
ends of the splices are pointed where the machine has cut it.
They are not so time consuming to produce so they are not as expensive as Hand-Spliced cues. Never-the-less many of the top players can be seen on the T.V. playing with Machine Spliced cues.
Our Premier Machine Spliced cues start from £49
The cue shown here on the left is our top Machine Spliced cue, `The Proton`, and comes in Pool and Snooker formats. For snooker if you wished, you could have a telescopic extension to fit the butt joint.
Though the `Proton` cue has a number of front splices and is a very attractive cue, most Hand-Spliced cues very often (though not always) have more splices and veneers.
The cue maker often uses more
exotic timbers to enhance the appearance of Hand-Spliced cues, though it must be
said that it won't make you play any better.
A Hand-Spliced cue is made from several different layers (or splices) which are individually glued to the cue. Some of these splices can be quite thin, so you can imagine, it is a more skilled and time consuming job, which is reflected in the cost.
You can see from the cue on the right that it is a Hand-Spliced cue because the tops of the splices are rounded and not pointed. Any cues that have this feature and are not expensive are probably painted, and can not be compared with a true Hand-Spliced cue.
The cue shown here is our top Hand-Spliced cue, `The Laser`. It has over 20 veneers and splices and looks quite stunning in just two separate colours.
Our Hand-Spliced cues start from £84, and you can have your own `Custom Made` cue with colours and any design of your choice from £150.
