A nice Que Perfect Custom Cue for sale

Que Perfect

Ronnie does come across like quite a character from his website, and from the accounts of people who have dealt with him. But all that falls away if he does make good cues (some people I know really like his cues, I haven't tried one myself), and there are other wildly eccentric custom cuemakers that people still love to buy cues from.

But there has been another cue maker from the same region as Ronnie going around saying that Ronnie doesn't make his own cues, and that he has hired local craftsmen to do the work for him (I'm not inclined to take the other cue maker's word without any evidence, as it is just an unsubstantiated rumour). Does anyone know if there's any truth to this?

There are a lot of very fancy cues coming out of the Philippines that look great but that no serious player would consider (as they don't hit so great), but Ronnie's cues seem to have a following even among serious players. I was wondering if anyone could shed light on this topic.

Hi JoeyInCali,

I'm Canadian and I leave around the Ottawa area, a little Municipality/County called L'Ange-Gardien near Gatineau town in Quebec Province. I don't know about PoolPlayer2093, I think he leave in German some where, but I'm not sure.

Jim Wich recommanded me Ronnie Powell if I want a nice and good playing, we meet at the Canadian Championship in June 2005. Jim as one and don't ask him to play with something else either, he wont.

I don't try to sale my cue because I don't like it, it's because I need the money at this time. This QP cue plays great and look very good. The sale doesn't go very well right now because of the time of the year, but I still beleive I will get my price for it....if not I'll keep it.

Talk to you later my friend.:)

Hi bud,

Ask PoolPlayer2093, he knows more about that rumor. Something between two Philipinnes cue makers, but again I'm not to sure what is all the story.

I recommand you to test one if you have a chance one day, it's a great playing cue. The all around finish could be a little bit better I would say, buy all the rest is very well done on those cues.

I'm very happy with it and I do recommand anyone to test one and compare with other custom cue, you will be surprise of the results my friend.

If you ever consider to order one, please mention my name to Ronnie Powell he will be very happy.:)

Hi everyone,

This cue sale is a Que Perfect Custom Cue (model EW 06-0001) from Ronnie Powell. This is definitely a beautifully hand made cue.

See pictures;

http://www.queperfect.biz/cuesbeing.htm
http://www.queperfect.biz/exotic.htm

Similar cues have been auctioned off by Ronnie (on his website - cue auctions link) for between $3,500 - $4,500......I would like to sell the cue for $2,600 - $2,800

See pictures; http://www.queperfect.biz/auctions.htm

Cue specifications: http://www.queperfect.biz/EW06-0001.htm

Under the wrap it's made of Curly (Fiddle-back) Maple, how many cue makers use such a good piece of wood and then cover it with a wrap.....Ronnie does it.

It comes with two Predator 314 shafts, a Predator soft case and a set of joint protectors for two shafts and one butt made of Phelonic with same ring-work as cue.

Notice the four expertly inlaid rings of 24 ivorine and 24 phelonic squares, the highly white ivorine #3 joint and expertly finished inlays of ivory colored material.

This cue has over 70 inlays, seventy inlays in a cue that shoots better than most!

The forearm is made of upgrade Tiger Maple Bird Eyes and the butt sleeve and forearm long inlays of Philippine Camagond (rare) wood. Beautiful Black Camagong points fade into nothing.

No CNC milling machine has cut these super fine lines. This is all done by loving, caring, hands that seek for perfection.

There are not any defects in any of his cue, nits-pickers have used jewelers magnifying lenses to look for defects.....no luck.

Also notice the 18 ivory colored inlays in the butt, yes just in this small space. This is not counting the 20 inlays of Fiddle-back Maple.

This cue shoots like all Que Perfect cues, better than most cues on the market today. His cues also are tied with two other fine cuemakers for the least deflection of any cue in the world.

If you want one of his cue, better get in line soon.

All Ronnie's cue are hand made and the waiting time for any of his cues as of May 2006, is approximately 9 to 12 months.

Choose the cue that Efren Reyes choose, a Que Perfect Custom Cue.

See picture; http://www.queperfect.biz/erc.htm


THIS CUE SALE IS ONLY FOR SERIOUS BYERS, PLAYERS AND COLLECTORS.

This post had had more hits that the law allows. Why hasn't the cue sold? :confused:

Hi Cueaddicts,

I don't really know, I'm not sure if it's me or it's because Ronnie Powell is not well know down here in State. This guy is a ex U.S. soldier who leaves in the Phillipines now and started some years a go making cues.

He make good playing cue, the hit, the feel and the balance is great. The only thing IMO that he as to work on will be "the finish" of his cue, all the rest is great. But if you want a good playing cue for a good price, try a Que Perfect custom cue and you will be in for a big surprise.

I hope I'll get my price for it, if not I'll keep it. I'm only asking $2,100USD for it, so IMO this is a very good deal. I can't do much better on that deal.

Any suggestion on your side ????

I think that's the problem.
You admit the finish isn't great and to be honest, I just couldn't see spending that kind of money on one of his cues. Not when, for the same money, you get something very high-end from a local cuemaker who you know and trust.

Just my $.02

Put it on Ebay and have $2100 as reserve price.
Look at the bids and then you'll get the feel how much desirable that cue is.
I don't think it'd get a bid over $750.
 
I've seen Ronnies work, and he does build a very nice Cue that play's as solid as they come and are intricate as they come....

But, I am sure my 6 year old could apply a better layer of finish on a cue than Ronnie does. Looks like an Earl Shibe clear coat job with the Orange peel and all.

The poor finish is noticable on his wbsite if you look close, and is pretty shoddy in person.

Very nice cue that if you sent it to Proficient Billiards to be refinished would look incredible.

But I'd never pay what he wants for a cue. I don;t care if he built it out of a peice of wood from Noahs Ark, if it don;t look as good as it plays, I aint paying top dollar for it...

For $500.00 it wouldn't be an issue, for upwards of $2000.00 it IS an isue...
 
Hi Jedi V Man,

I'm agreed with you at 100%, he as to improve in this area otherwise he wont be in business for very long. Apparently he does very well in the Phillipines, but down here he seems to go through all kind of critical regarding the finish of his Custom cues. But this cue plays so well my friend and IMO, sometime we seems to forget about quality of the finish.

If I line up keeping the cue, I will considered to sent it to Proficient Billiards for a new lather wrap and finish. Then the cue will work allot more do.......IMO, don't you think ???

Thanks for you input my friend.

Luc, please show me the imperfections the next time I see you. I don't think they are as big as you (or anyone else), is making them out to be. I took a very good look at the cue and didn't even see them the first time. I'll see if I can bring a camera to take a picture of them for any perspective buyers. I also want to test hit it again. Thanks.
 
Hi Snorks,

There is some but they are very minor imperfections to me anyway, the important thing to me in a cue is being able to play at my level with it and be consistent on every shot and that cue gaves me that.

I can't say enough how that cue plays, it's a great feeling. Next time we she each other, I'll let you test hit out again. It's a solid cue all around.

See you next time.

Hi Koop,

At least I'm honest with you guy's and it all depend of what are you looking for from a custom cue. For my self I'm looking for a cue who plays well and the construction is solid all around.

Also I'm not the best person to judge the craftmanship and finish of a custom cue, but one thing I could tell you, she plays welll and the rest wont matter to me.

I'm sure is high end custom cues are much better overall, but again the person as to be welling to pay to get it. If you fine one one day, test hit out your self.....you'll see what I mean by agreat playing cue.

Take care Koop.

I didn't and wouldn't question your integrity. Just giving an opinion as to why it may not be selling.

I am sooooooooo glad that the cue will no longer be for sale soon. He has bumped this thread more times than J-Lo has bumped uglies with strange men.....
Give it a rest Luc, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hi everyone,

This QP custom cue from Ronnie Powell is not for sale anymore, so on that, thanks to everyone who help me during that time and I wish all a good billiard season.

BackCup , as discussed yesterday......it's done.

Take care everyone.

Hi everyone,

BackCup will be mad at me, but I have to clarified something very important here.

During the time that I was trying to sale my QP custom cue, I stated that Ronnie Powell (Que Perfect Custom Cues) did not have a great finish. Well after comparing my QP cue finish with other high end cue, I relized that my finish and paint job was top notch compare to other high end cues.

So please guys, don't take my words as granted.....I was wrong to say something like that. I learned something here, don't talk about something that you don't know very well.......it's a lesson.

And I'm also glad, I didn't sale it.

Thanks everyone.
