It just shows how much the top cue makers in this country are having a laugh at us with the prices they charge, you get all the that above from LIDL for just £19.99, yes less than £20 ....Now a cue from one of the top cue makers over here will set you back approx £400 upwards and all you'll get is a cue, yep just a cue and a large bill ..... No spare brass screw-in tips, no spare plastic ferrules, no scuffing tools, no shaft polisher and no padded zip-up carry case.

Well it looks like the top cue makers in the UK have some serious competition, LIDL have set the bencmark so i'd like to see them match that deal without skimping on quality.

It's an american pool cue looking thing mun, not a top uk makers snooker cue made with exotic timbers etc.

How can you compare...lol..



Horrible cues, ok for a little kid getting into american pool/9 ball etc i suppose.

Hmmm at £14.99 its still £14 too much

Gee, you guys are SO-O-O negative. I mean screw-on tips are a marvel of science and of course they play so well given that they are absolute F*****G C**P and even a pool player wouldn't use them.

I've only ever seen them as house cues in pubs over here and believe me no one ever steals them although some get broken in fights I guess.

Besides, they don't hold the chalk very well either
