About Randy Anderson
Randy Anderson is from Wichita, Kansas and started building cues in 1983. Verl Horn helped him to build his 1st cue and mentored him. So far he built 800 cues or more and he does something what only a few ones do nowadys and it is that he builds fullsplice cues....he builds his own blanks.
He also makes 3 different tapers for his cues and the one that was used in this one is middle ground.
️It was nice working on this cue with Randy. He is old school. Nice, humble, polite and indeed builds fantastic cues.
Carrying tradition of building fullsplice cues is something that should be highly appreciated and it is great for the industry, players and cue collectors too. We all should know more about how everything started, went through years and how it arrived here where it is today.
There are some fantastic makers that are not that well known for public but known by real pool lovers and they deserve attention and appreciation and Randy is one of them.
It was pleasure dealing with Randy from the very beginning and it is just one of a few cues that i am expecting from him. The others are in build and can't wait to get them.
Kansas seems to have quite few really great cue makers.
Enjoy the photos!

I started wanting to service my own cues because it took so long to get them back ,this was 1981. Then I put a small lathe together to do tips and ferrules. Then I went to a tournament in west Oklahoma where I met Verl Horn and started getting interested in building cues. Over the next few years, I got more involved. In 1987, I took an ad in Pool and Billiard magazine and started selling cues. The response was overwhelming, and I couldn't keep up. Then in 1994, I had a heart attack at 36 years old. So I had to cut way back. I continued to build cues, but more on a local level. In 2016, I decided I wanted to go to CNC instead of my pantagraph and that lead to much betters designs and a need to learn new skills. I advanced to build my own CNC, and I feel it has helped to elevate my cues to a much higher level.
