Retractable Rest

[damienlch]

Hi,

Does anyone know where to get a retractable rest with a snooker style (i.e. cross) rest head? Extended length of the rest is around 57", retractable to around 14".

I've tried googling for it and all I can find are those fitted with American pool style rest head.

Thank you.

Do what I do and carry 2 telecue extenders...1(new one) for cue and and other 1(old one) for rest.
Cheaper aswell than buying a extendable rest I should think.

I use one too for the rest, much better than the half butt

get the one with pool style head and change it for a snooker rest head....

Thanks for the replies guys.

I'm actually looking for a retractable rest that's extendable to 57", i.e. it extends to a normal rest length.

Something like in the photos below only with a snooker rest head. I'm quite useless with those American pool rest heads.

It does not look to be in the correct dimension to fix a snooker rest head on. Probably could do some modification to make it fit but I'm not too handy with tools. So looking to buy a ready-made if available.

Hi Wayne... I found it at www.seyberts.com.

I googled for "retractable rest" and nothing relevant popped up but mangaged to find quite a few other online stores that offer this when I searched for "retractable bridge stick". I think that's what the Americans call a rest, a bridge stick.
