best cue make to get

[cameron0606]

Hey just wondering what the best cue make is and I am looking to spend about 300

[BadMadWicked]

What do you play pool or snooker?

[cameron0606]

Both lol but whant a snooker cue

[andy carson]

you will mot likely get 100 different answers from 100 different people

theres no particular "best" cue maker out there, just get a cue that feels right for you, it might be the worst looking cue you have seen but if you get on with it use it

I got bought a used Mike Wooldridge that was within your budget from the forum and I like the way it plays. The best thing is the mini butt fits into the shaft of the cue and the butt which makes playing pool in cramped pubs easier ;-) I don't think the JP cues can do this! I also use it for snooker so bought a telescopic extension for the long shots. IMHO - if you want best of both go for a reverse butt jointed cue - check out this thread:

I can't recommend any specific cue, but hope this helps...Goodluck :-)

Go and try a few out before you part with your cash... You could end up spending £300 on something you hate if not.

That's the same set up i've got only mine was made by Dave at mastercraft. After missing a thin black this season having to play with a pub broomhandle, i vowed to do something about it. Got extra weight put in the mini butt also so the cue doesn't feel so light when its screwed into the main shaft.

Hi Cameron,

I represent Cue Craft on the forum and am pleased to tell you that with your budget you'll be able to afford a Brand new top notch hand spliced cue made to your personal specifications, including a mini-butt AND a long extension and probably a new case as well!

Email your specs to me cueist@genie.co.uk and I'll get you a quote.

I need to know:-

Overall cue length?-e.g. 57" is pretty standard, but can go longer if required.
Tip size? Would recommend 9mm for use with pool and snooker.
Jointing? (3/4 if you want a female jointed shaft for inserting mini-butt)
Overall Cue Weight?
Woods for butt and shaft e.g. Ebony butt / Ash Shaft, Rosewood Butt / Maple shaft etc?
Any coloured veneers on the butt?

You can also do this by phone or text to 07740102927.

With the issue of tight shot's if you want the cue for pool as well, I'd definitely recommend a 3/4 cue with mini-butt to fit on the shaft as well as a butt joint for snooker.

Cheers, Dave, Snookerpoolman

I was thinking of a gbl cue cost they have a stiff shaft like mikes cues.

Go that bit more and get a Trevor white or maybe He'll do a plain butt for £300

[centurysnooker]

in my view the best cue ive played with is a john parris but you will proberly have to buy a second hand john parris with that budget and spend the whole 300 and take the risk of not liking the cue. so you should proberly go for a less expensive cue that you wont lose money on e.g mastercue, mastercraft, omin, craftsman cues etc best of luck with your purchase

[vucko117]

Robin Cook can make you a nice cue for that budget I think...
