I've searched through all the posts and did find a few comments on Sawdust cues, I'm just wondering if anyone has played with these cues at all?

They certainly look to be well built with great materials and woods and I did reach out to them on FB and even though they're on the other side of the world and I was simply requesting info on their cues, they got back to me in no time at all and spent a chunk of time explaining their process and cue building tricks. Needless to say I was pretty impressed having the cue maker respond directly and quickly to a customer who clearly wasn't buying a cue directly from them at this time.

I know it's all about the cue right? Not in my opinion, a lot of guys make great cues. How many makers support their product and make themselves available to existing and potential new customers?

I have an opportunity to trade a cue I'm selling for a Sawdust cue and I was looking for any opinions on the cue itself. Are they stiff, low deflection, how's their 12.7' Taper?
Any issues with the cues?

The quality of the the cue and the craftsmanship and materials are not my concern, they are all high end materials and the cues looks gorgeous.

I was simply looking if anyone has tried these cues out and what their thoughts were on the cue overall.

3 or 4 decent players made a group buy a couple of yrs ago and gave them a whirl

i think one is still strokin and jokin with his, the others have gone a different direction

many of the cues in the flyers above look good, don't know about value if it's flipped

does anyone know who makes them and where they're made?
 
I believe they are out of Singapore and are relatively new on the market. That is to say less than 10 years.

They are well known in the Asian market for billiard cues with no traditional tapers, but in past 2 years have changed to add a 12.7 pro taper. I'm just hearing a lot of good things about this company.

I'm not the smartest computer user. I've clicked the links and searched on google. everything seems to lead to the facebook page shown in the post above. How would you pick out a cue and order/purchase one if you wanted?
 
A lot of people use Facebook as their company's web site or Internet presence. So you'd have to be on Facebook to get to his page and you correspond with him from there.

You can speak directly with the cuemaker via FB or Messenger. I'm sure they have a phone number and would send you pictures, reviews, wahtever. Like I said the guy was truely up and up with me and I was simply asking about a cue he's made.
 
I own a sawdust. The cues play and look great. I don’t play with it every day (I play with a mezz ace series), but I do enjoy the feel and play of the cue.
 
I own a Sawdust. I think that I can help you decide. First, Jack Tan, the cue maker is as good as it gets in terms of communication and honesty. Second, the cues are constructed very well, mine is wrap less with veneered points, just a great looking cue! Third, Jack offers traditional maple, Kielwood, low deflection maple, and carbon shafts for his cues. Jack's pre 2022 plain maple shafts did not have enough shaft taper for most players and I had mine cut down to 12.5MM with a 14 inch pro taper and they played so much better- he now offers a pro taper and I have his low deflection plain maple shaft with the new taper from Jack- plays just fine!

Jack usually or can adapt his cues to his own rear bumper extensions- my cue came to me with a rear extension from Jack- the original extension was 7 inches and I bought from Jack a 4 inch add on extension that screwed right into the existing 7 inch extension piece.

I do not prefer leather wraps on cues and Asian leather wraps tend to be rather slick- so I chose a Sawdust wrap less cue- your choice . I never saw an original Sawdust linen wrapped cue- cannot comment on that.

My cue is 3/8 10 pin, phenolic insert in the shafts, Jack makes great cue tips as well, the hit is firm, crisp, very solid but not dead- very good feedback through the handle area - if a Scruggs cue is a 9.5 on firmness of hit- Jack's cue is about an 8 on 10- which is my personal preference - using a medium hardness tip. The cue is not whippy, and it is not a dull thud on the other end of the spectrum- again- expect firmness, expect feedback, expect something solid in your hands.

No complaints on his cue- had it for about a year now, played about 100 hours with it including tournament play. I have 35 + years experience with over 50 true custom cue makers as well as all the past production makers. I like the cue a lot- will stay in my current stable of custom cues- which is fairly small at this point in my life- I have about 7 different makes left in my cases.

Hope that this helps you!
