Try Rex leisure, Howard St Glasgow, next door to Slaters.

Can you let me know if you find anywhere? I'd like to find somewhere I can "try before I buy". I live in Edinburgh and my local shop has closed down. They had a few John Parris on display but I dithered about for too long making my mind up and the shop closed.Originally Posted by docherty_1991 View PostComment

I don't know if you ever found anything, but in case you didn't, here is a link to Gordon Bayne's site: http://www.cues-cuecases.co.uk/index.htm
Gordon's an ex Scottish amateur champion (I think) and, if he's still in business (he has health problems) he has a nice selection of cues you can have a look at: Master Cue, Peradon, O'Min etc. You might even be able to meet him at a club where you can try out a few cues, if he has your spec in stock.Il n'y a pas de problemes; il n'y a que des solutions qu'on n'a pas encore trouvées.

I don't remember Gordon winning the Scottish but he certainly had some nice cues last I saw, he's good to deal with. Also Richy Mcdonald ex pro got a lot of the stock out the Rex shop I heard. He'll definately let you try, he's the doctor on here.
Paul Preston in Motherwell has a lot of good cues if you pm me I'll send his number.
ADR147 is a good guy but based in Perth.
Not sure if I would buy a peradon though.Comment

Keith, you seem a nice guy. It's not a bad thing you're out of the country if you love snooker!
Anyway any of the guys I mention above can supply quality cues.Comment

I seem to remember in the late 80s at my local club i think Gordon Bain was the club pro..He used to play another great player called Barry Gilmour..Last edited by warren132; 26 December 2009, 05:17 PM.Not played for 3 years and itching for a game....11-3-2017.Comment
