which is the best snooker cue.

[superman32]

Yes the shop is down now

[tsering]

Can you plz tell me that only the high range cues are good at MW or a lower one also will be good enough? I'm used to playing with heavier cues 18oz or 18.5, I can't play well with lighter weights, and tip size to 8.5, which will cost few more extras there.

[superman32]

You should read Mike web carefully. Mate

I think the best way for you is to order a mw01 is the vcm is open again. This way you can have whatever spec you want.
I think the price for mw01 is around 500-550.
Or a custom shark. It will be cheaper.

But the shop is down now.

If you read mikes website,

It has a lot of advise and explains the difference between his shark cues and hand spliced range.

Hi! I'm from India. Where can I buy MW cues used one. Is there any website to it? If yes please send me the link.

[tsering]

Hi! I know MW it's Mike Wooldridge, but plz can U lengthen the TW H&O R&O and JPU.
Thnx

[DeanH]

TW = Trevor White (there is Tony Wilshaw but TW usually stands for Trevor)
H&O = Hunt & O'Bryne
H&O = Hunt & Osborne
R&O = I think he means Robert Osborne - same that worked with Will Hunt (as above) now on his own
JPU = John Parris (maker) Ultimate (model)

[dpcw_wsm]

yes i understand the difference between shark and hand spliced.
shark= butterfly splice, a cheaper, less labor intensive form of hand splicing.

what i want to know is how do they compare to a fully hand spliced 4 point cue

I'm playing snooker from last 13 years at different snooker parlors, but didn't bought a personal cue for myself before. I used to play with which ever felt good to me.
The one I bought right now is a chip chinese made with 9mm tip size 17 oz, and it doesn't feels good at all, when I bend down for a shot. With my new cue tip sized 9mm I feel that I am struggling to hit at what part of the ball and I am uncomfortable.
The main thing is that I'm used to play with heavier cues and the tip size of 8mm, but I am seeing all the cue sellers there on the web have above 9.5mm. So, what I want to ask here is should I keep practicing with 9mm or should I go back to my 8mm size? Does the sizes makes any differences to make 147? Is there any standard tip size for world class players? If yes what it is?

[dpcw_wsm]

a small tip can give you more action on the cue ball but if your not bang on with your cueing it will also give you a lot of unwanted side!

I play with an 8mm, most the time its fine, and i love the extra reaction i can get with an 8mm tip, and the fact i havent got a big bulky cue in my bridge hand.

but when your having an off day and not cueing straight it gives you loads of unwanted side and makes it a lot harder to pot and control the cue ball.

Its preferance mainley. I know pep who wont play with anything above 8.5mm and i also know people who cant stand anything less than 9-9.5mm

If you have played over13 years. I think you should stick with what you have
Already used to. If you like 8.5 tip then 8.5 is the best for you.

I have talked to some pros about cues and posture.
They told me that if someone is new to the game they should
Learn to have a very good posture. But if you have played a long time
The best for you is to stick with whatever you feel most comfortable with.
Same with cue specs. If you already used to something. May be that is the best
For you.

[hoddle28]

Peradon Pro cue is a very decent mid range priced cue...

[Fedia147]

The best cue in the world, is the one that feels comfortable to you, be it a cheap £20 cue or one at £1000. Haven't played with one of Mikes yet, but he seems to take pride in his work and be picky about the quality of his own work, so at least with him, you are at least guaranteed a great cue... Whether its right for you is another question. No 2 cues play the same hence why so many forum members are constantly buying and selling cues in the hunt for 'the one' lol

Good luck with your search anyway

Best post on the forum.

Well done.

[bally]

possible try (MC) Mastercue top ranges like Masterpiece or connoseuir , u can custom them w,t budget around USD400-600. I got one masterpiece custom cue last 3 months , it is superb , well balanced and stiffness, smooth finishing, they came w.t a nice even arrow + a dead straight grain as my requested.
I have try while put a magic black tip on it, it feel so good ,very comfortable for all kind of shot , 30+ break on spot is easily for my first time play w.t it. I feel far better than my JP and RO cue of mine own.
1 more things Accurate cue was positievely made by China cue company my freind has buy one and it is not as good as we have heard.
Hope this will share some idea.

Smaller tips are acceptable if you don't mind losing the white constantly and playing recovery shots throughout your game but in the long run anything small will be hard to control and become consistent with. Generally 9.7-9.8 is a good size. 9.5 might be a tiny bit tough for ball control and anything below that won't be good for your game. Yes, you might get the spin, but you won't be able to control it and get consistent.

The toughest thing with small tips are long balls which are key to playing this game properly because you can get unwanted side spin. Unless you have a pristine cue action and can deliver the cue dead straight, use a larger tip.

If you already have a small tip, try fitting an oversize tip as an experiment and note the difference in better long balls with it.
