[mu147]

Hi,
Which offers the best quality for your money out of these 3 snooker cue brands -
(for Ash shaft and ebony butt).

Peradon (specifically Harlow)
PowerGlide (specifically Prestige V)
Master Cue

I don’t know what’s better but according to a lot of guys on here Peradon quality is not that good these days .

in that price range you have loads of (better) options,

don't know where you are but you could check out https://greenbaize.com/ you can try there or they will ship anywhere

exellent customer service and you can contact them with any questions or discuss what you are looking for

good luck

As above I was going to recommend having a look at GreenBaize.com if you have not already

Also, whereabouts are you located?
It is always best to physically try a cue out if you can
And if you can, ignore the brand and badge

I'm based in London, UK.
When people say I have a range of cue options available for that budget, yes you are right, but which brand/cue should I specifically look out for?
I've looked on the GreenBaize.com website and to be honest, I didn't find anything I liked. I don't know much about Phoenix cues for instance.

A bit away from Green Baize.
From cues I have seen personally, I would rate Phoenix above Peradon, in build quality and playing characteristics

Phoenix cues are excellent. Dominic Dale used to rave about them before he became ambassador for Maximus cue which are another great Thai cue make. I would would favour the Thai brands over Peradon and Poweglide cues. So add Ton Praram , Tom Classic , SP and Asia cues to the list, alongside Master cue because all these Thai brands make very good cues. It's just down to spec and design really if you are unable to try before you buy.

just make a day of it at greenbaize
try them all (within your budget) and pick the one you like best

brand doesn't mean much, it's all about the wood, the cues at greenbaize will all be build well so no worries there

just my 2 pennies

If you want a custom UK made cue for a decent amount of money, try MAC cues or Karl Craik's cues. There are many other options depending on the budget.

I just looked on green baize too and seems a bit pricey I need a 3/4 59.5 and found this on the site and it's extremely cheap compared to all the others...is it worth a punt?

It's 1" shorter than what you 'need', though
