Played a fella at billiards this week ,I am pretty sure he had a TW, cue , it was lying on the next table , I had just spotted it and was going for a nose when we got called to play so I didn't get a great look but I'm sure I caught site of the badge, I said to myself I would ask him at the end for a look see, but I forgot, it was a beautifully made who ever made it.

Maybe we should have a thread, where if you find a bargain put it up, with a disclaimer saying it's nothing to do with you.

I know people bang on about tw cues and I use to think yer whatever but his cues are beautiful,my dad has a David coutts multi spliced maple handmade and that's a beauty as well.

I play with an omin, and have always thought, how can a cue look any better, it's only wood and a bit of polish lol, but this thing made mine look like fire wood, the quality of workmanship and the finish on it were, well it's hard to describe unless you saw it. It was genuinely a thing of beauty. And he thumped me at billiards the old git lol.

That's really good,u look at the table see 3 balls think this is easy, but it is far from easy at all, my uncle plays to a very high level

I don't ref(everyone's ment to take a turn)as I don't know the rules or how to score, I just keep potting the red, until someone's says stop lol, it's not nice to watch and I have heard comments of , it's not a feckin potting contest,and bloody snooker player, lol , it's as if I am breaking some kind of code.

Not sure ill check on any events mate. I pot a lot but I don't feel you are breaking any code,the rules state 15 hazards buddy,what I never try to do is pot an opponents cue ball to win, in our league the older ones hate this, it's like winning without playing a true billiards shot. Do what I do play your own game, if your opponents tut when you pot, bloody pot more. They may feel it's disrespectful to constantly pot, but it's a lot more disrespectful to comment on your opponents game during a match, for practice just constantly practice the half ball over and over get a shot 10 times in a row, then change it.
