the CMs are paid per piece/weekly basis p1500-2000 depending on how complicated the design is... usually it takes them a week to complete 1 cue. the CMs where trained well... but if they dont change their present system its a "hit n' miss" quality like most new PI CM groups on ebay:sorry:

Very nice looking cue...be wary of the "possibility" of it warping when being shipped to the states. This happens a lot with Audrick cues.

For people here in the USA, that is $35-$50USD.

I ordered one and two weeks later it still hasn't arrived. Really poor communication also. Hopefully it'll come soon.

I had the same problem,when I bought mine...
It took a month to get to me and when I got it, it was warped like swiss cheese.
You get what you pay for.
BUT IT LOOKS NICE. :)

Stay away!!

Has anyone ever tried one of his cues?

Stay away from this guy, he has robbed me for several hundred dollars on a cue that he hasn´t sent. For you guys who are waiting for one - make a claim asap at Ebay and Paypay. I was to late myself. I was robbed by him and Steve Urate - they all know eachother. 1 cue from Navarro and 2 from Steve Urate. It was a couple of months ago know so I don´t excpect them to arrive and I was to late to make Ebay do something about it.
This guys are as low as they get!! Don´t trust a word they say - pure bullsh.....t.

If you want to see evidence please send me a PM with your mailadress and I will show you some mails from them.

Take care

That's too bad because there are good PI cuemakers. Stuff like this is trashing the general rep.

Ok finally got the cue. Everything looks great accept the shafts have a very hard time screwing in. I think the pin he used isn't truly a 3/8 10. No warping so far

I'm new tot he forum, but have been reading for a good while. Recently I have read lots of threads on cues from the Philippines, which got me interested enough to want to try a few. The first one I received the other day was from Patrick Navarro, purchased on ebay.

How was the purchase/shipping/communication?

The purchase was fine, with me supplying the tip diameter (12.75mm). The shipping was fairly fast, I believe it shipped about a week after purchase, via Fedex and I was provided a tracking number. Communication was also good. This particular cue was made and signed by Dindo Perez, who according to the ebay listing used to work for Edwin Reyes. I have seen some other cues listed by Navarro that were made by Dindo Perez, and they seemed to be very nicely done, and some very unique styling.

Here is a link to the cue:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170359166391&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

How does it look in person?

Inlays are nicely done, with very, very minor imperfections one would expect as I imagine they are done mostly by hand. When I say minor, I mean you have to get up VERY close to see anything at all. In fact they are so minor, I would go as far as to say they barely need be mentioned. The joint is very tight, as jimmy stated above. I haven't had a new cue with a 3/8 x 10 joint, so I can't really comment on the normality of this. I imagine it will loosen slightly over time. The cue came with 2 shafts, and everything so far is dead straight. So, to recap, it's a VERY nice looking cue, dead straight, and seemingly very well contructed.

How does it play?

Well, it certainly has a totally different feel than my current player, which is an Adam Balabushka GB-4 (had this one for 10 years, plays great!). After knocking a couple balls around with it, I played 6 or 7 games. The cue plays fantastic, even with the relatively cheap Masters tip. At no time did I feel handicapped by the cue, or have any lack of confidence.

My main concern with a cue from the Philippines was potential warpage, but the average relative humidity there is barely more than where I live (Tallahassee, FL). I'll come back and post a more detailed review after a couple months.

just FYI, this cue was nice enough for me to have him working on a second one.

As part of my experimentation with Philippine cues, I also just received a cue from Audrick Cues (also from Philippines) that I will review in a new thread. It was not one of his ebay offerings, but one of his older designs that I liked.
