The Cue You Made Your Highest Break With.

[Matt-10ant]

Can anyone on here remember the cue they was using when they made their highest break.

Do you still use that cue now or even still own it.

If not do you have regrets of selling it.

Good thread idea, mine was my 3/4 cue craft monarch. I still own it however I use an Exquisite cue as my playing cue, feels a lot better than my monarch. Don't think I'd go back to the monarch but occasionally use it if something happens ie, new ferrule needed on playing cue or something. I was also considering using it for pool but I love my current pool cue so wouldn't change it.

Trevor White 3/4 from 2010.

I am still using it now although I am keen on getting a new 1pc maple from Trevs.

made my highest break some 18 years ago with a Cannon Whirlwind 3/4 Cue! :snooker:

My first cue was a fake 2 piece peradon I bought in Israel back in 2007 for 120 GBP. I know it was fake because a guy who had an original one told me that the joint in it was not a peradon joint. I have no idea what the specs of this cue were and I never bothered taking pictures of it but all I know is that it's the best playing cue I ever had... played my highest break of 51 with it along with many high 40's and that was back in 2007 when my snooker skills and knowledge were very limited compared to what it is now after having several private lessons.

What happened with this cue is that I simply stopped playing snooker at one point as I went back to playing club basketball. So after a while of not playing snooker I just threw it away. About a year after this happened my wonderful, amazing, best wife made me a bday surprise in the face of a JP Ultimate which I hoped will bring back with it the love for snooker I once had. The only problem was that since my baby knows nothing of snooker, and since Mr. Parris has very "helpful and professional" people working for him the cue ended up being 59" long and 19.5oz heavy which is far from a standard spec. The thing is I never knew anything about specs and I figured that the fact of it being a John Parris cue "the best cue in the world" "used by all the professionals" must help me play much better than I ever did before. I spent a whole year until I started playing decent snooker with it and even then it was not that impressive and far from constant.

I was very close to quitting snooker for a second time thinking I'm just no good without even contemplating there might be something wrong about the cue and not about me but then I was lucky to enter a billiard club which had a new JP Ultimate for sale and after trying a few shots with it I went on to buy for a fortune, but at least I am still playing snooker today

Mine is a Mike Wooldridge custom made cue..... I've only had the cue 18 months and have made loads of 70's and 80's but can't seem to overcome the mental barrier of the magical ton. I don't think I will ever change my cue now as it feels part of me somehow......my previous cue was a Pearson Victorian and only managed 1 or 2 70 plus breaks with it.....
