Went to meet a friend of a friend in Muntinlupa today who has the reputation of being the best cue maker in the Philippines. He as assembled a team like no other and the cues he showed me only had me in total amazement at the quality. A huge thanks has to go to Sammy for the hook up, Maraming salamat po pare :)
Ricky was very welcoming and invited me into his home to show me the cues he is currently working on. He doesn’t have a shop per se but he has a huge catalogue which he lent me to get some ideas for my custom cue. HE also offered me a very nice discount for being a friend of Sammy :D
Im feeling like a kid thats been locked in his favourite toy shop and left to play with all his favourite toys. My plan was to just get 1 cue custom made and maybe a break cue too but with Ricky can probably get 2 or 3 playing cues, a break/jump cue and a case too and for a very good price too! All custom and hand made by some of the best cue makers in the country. Ricky even invited me to stay once I had ordered my cue so I could watch my cue being made. I might have to take that offer up cause I think that its to good to pass up. Once the cue is made I have been invited to play with Ricky and his friends in a weekly tournament so that should be interesting he he. I’ve also been invited to play with some Philly pros which is another offer I just have to accept. Rack em up!!
