Jianying Billiards Snooker Cue

[abhi147]

Hi Straight strike & sanman,

I am now going on 72 and have just picked up a cue again after not playing for 25 years. Before leaving for Hong Kong in 1985 I played an exhibition match with Eddie Charlton. Whilst in Hong Kong I played Gary Kwok who at the time won the Chinese and Asian Pro. Championship that year so I do happen to know what I am talking about when it comes to cues.

I see that the knocker "sanman" highest break is 57 or such, I guess that gives him the credentials to criticize my original statement.

Do not be distracted by the price, I have never heard of Jian Ying before buying it so I really didn't know what to expect. What I can say is, I received a good quality multi-spliced handmade cue for a very reasonable price.

You dont need to be a century break player to understand a good or a bad cue

Blinky88,

I know that you play very good snooker and d you must be able to beat me with your Jianying cue. I am happy to know that you get on well with Jianying. But when it comes to playabilities, it has no match with most of the cues mentioned by people on this forum. This is my comment.

Sanman,

I think you have been wasting a lot of money on budget cues really. The money you gave away may well bought you a nice cue from a decent cuemaker. If you had done so, you would be a much happier man than what you are today.

Sanman,

If you keep spending your money and time searching for cues but only bring you disappointment instead of joy, what's thepoint for doing so? Snooker is no fun to you anymore.

I seldom change cue myself but just got a decent one three months ago. I got my highest and second highest break with it and I'm over the moon now.

I have owned over 40 cues to date
the only mistakes were andy travis( i must say that twenty years of cue maing has not taught him much and he did not have the decency to sort out my issues)

the other mistake was Jianying

i do have at least 10 good to excellent cues at the moment

the moment i am able to find a good one piece I would sell of all except for My two favourite 3/4 UT cues and that new one piece.

As for pics I would post some on monday as i no longer have those cues and I need to get hold of the new owners

Blinky88
I was waiting for you to open your loud mouth, via your arthritic fingers of course. You seem that way inclined by your very nature.

Let me properly introduce you to the forum. Ladies and gentleman may I present you to Blinky88 who to the world of snooker is er er er…… Hmmm
What is he?
Nobody significant really, because if he was he would not have to blow his trumpet here. Yah yah you played some matches against some good players we can all relate to but heres the thing no one here seems to know you. And frankly not too many care. Myself included.

You have the audacity to call me a knocker and furthermore to to rasie doubt over my creadentials to question your appraisal of jian ying cues. May I ask how many cues you have owned in your life time. Not too many I would assume judging from your comments in other posts. So having never owned a good enough cue you now find think yourself the “EXPERT” to give advice on cues. Maybe that’s why you never became a top snooker player. Because you were too tight to spend on a decent cue. Because as most people would tell you here there is a world of difference between a good cue and a bad cue. But if we had to extrapolate your rationale then all one would need to play snooker is a broom stick with a tip on it.
As for my 57 break it is now 72 and the reason for that is that in South Africa it is very difficult t find a good snooker hall with champion standard table. I play snooker once in a while ( like evry six months). This is 8 ball country. Of course if you think I don’t know how to hold cue get you @ss on an 8ball table and I will educate you.

Finally if you like JY cues so much then whoopee for you. You can sit on it for all I care. God knows its not not enough for you.

Again please wait for photos and then judge my assessment of these cues. Maybe there are some good JY cues out there but all I am saying is that they sent me cr@p

Let's be fair to Blinky88, he just said Jianying was the best he had ever used. It could be true for him. But his statement was not indicative unless he told us what cues he had used before.

read his other posts and then you would get an idea where he is coming from

[abhi147]

Its not about the cue
But the way he talks and forces us that we are all wrong and hes always right

[Straight strike]

Oh, i see.

[sanman]

just because he could hold a cue straight once upon a time according to hime means that he is an authority on cues. His logic just like him though is flawed because he has not used an expansive amount of good cues extensively to know the difference

[Straight strike]

Let's forget about it.

[sanman]

We are not in a discussion about who is the better player, have a good look at the original question. I answered that question as I recently bought one.

After saying I just bought one I was immediately attacked asking what do I know about cues and I answered that. Then a very personal attack by sanman who claims to have bought a dozen of them and they were all crap, I find that very hard to believe, if fact, just about every comment made by you I find hard to believe.

As for Ben, who asked a question about the cue maker, you will need sort out what you can from statements on this thread, good luck.

and sanman, if you are ever in Australia be sure look me up and I'll show you my arthritic fingers.

maybe if you were not such a name caller then people wouldn't KNOCk you

Also try not to be such an expert in an area you don't know everything on.
As for being crap wait till monday till you see the pics you 2 by twice fourflusher.

[sanman]

i am open to knowledge. I wil learn til i drop. That being said no 1 starts out attacking sum1 character lest provoke. U did call me a knocker. By that u implied that my character was lacking. This is not the 1st thread that u hav gone on the offensive because of a difference of opinion. Bitter to swallow your own medicine huh. U provoked me. Jian ying in my opinion is rubbish. That is my opinion from 1st hand experience. Pics wil follow monday to confirm
