A Snooker equipment shop in Vienna?

[41shots]

Hi! I'm about to buy my first snooker cue. I hope you can help me.

Didn't know where to start this thread, but this section is ok I guess.

I live in Finland, but I'm going to Austria next week. The reason why I'm searching a cue in Austria is because cues here are very expensive. Maybe they are a bit cheaper in Austria? For example a Peradon Century costs 189 € here. In the UK it costs £79. Of course I could order a cue online, but I'd like to try it before buying.

Does anyone know a decent snooker equipment shop in Vienna (or Salzburg) where I could try out a couple of cues? Price range £130-£200.

Hi

There are 2 Billard shops in Vienna:

Billard Weingartner
Address:
Neubaugürtel 11
1150 Wien
email: billard@weingartner.co.at


Tutsch
Address:
Wiedner Hauptstraße 87
1050 Wien
web: www.tutsch.at

Although both shops have snooker stuff, I doubt that they have what you're looking for.
Vienna is mostly about Carom, Snooker is quite a minority billiards wise.

Thanks for the quick reply. Tutsch seems to have BCE and Riley cues. If they're focused on something else than snooker then I doubt they'll have many snooker cues for testing. Too bad.

I can't edit posts yet... I've been reading this forum and Mastercraft has popped up as an interesting brand for me. Maybe I'll just order something and hope it's ok for me. It has to better than the crooked cues at my local snooker club.

I wouldn't be so sure when comparing to Finland. We are in the same league in terms of expensive goods.

@noel,

Don't know if it's really cheaper, but at least we know how to do it properly

Hm, quite odd, I never went to Britain on holidays since everything was sooo expensive there compared to Austria. Of course now, with the pound being so weak, my trip to Sheffield should be quite cheap
