A new cue.

[Jezz95]

Hello. I'm a new snooker player and I want my own snooker cue. So can someone recommend me a good snooker cue for my budget which is about £30?

If I were you I would wait until I saved about £120 and then search the forum for recommendations . Craftsman , Mastercraft , Mastercue , omin , UT , Peardon all seem to have positive reviews in that price bracket .

You may be lucky and find something on ebay , or second hand from members here .

Do you know what specs you want .

[Jezz95]

Well as I said I am new to the game of snooker so could you please tell me about spec's of a snooker cue. And I don't want to spend more then £40 on a snooker cue.

how new are you to the game, how long you been playing, whats your high break at the moment and how long do you intend to spend on the baize on a weekly basis???????

[Jezz95]

I started playing at the middle of February this year. I play about 5 times a week (including weekends) I spend about 2-4 hours at my local snooker club. I havn't really been keeping score of my maximum break at the moment. I am improving my game.

You wont get a quality cue for £40 i,m afraid mate , unless youre very lucky on ebay .

When you here people referring to specs they mean the weight , length , ferule size , and the more experienced players usually know what butt size they like , and the balance point .

Is there anywhere near you that you can go and try a few cues out . Thats the only way of telling what specs you feel comfortable with , if not then I would go for something around 18 oz , with a 9.5-10 mm ferrule . Thats around the average .

Do you want to borrow the money as well mucka :snooker: only kidding . For that money I dont suppose you,ll beat that one Cally pointed out on ebay .

Why dont you contact the seller ADR , hes a member on this forum and will give you an honest opinion on the cue .
