No such thing as a best cue really and if you read upon a few threads you will come to realise that many cue makers have very lengthy waiting lists if you are looking to buy direct from them or brand new.

For me your best bet is to get in touch with Stu Green at Greenbaize. He has a number of different branded cues in various sizes and should be able to sort you out a cue to the spec you used before. Right now he has the best range of cues in the country bar none, and even better if you could get up to his shop but as I see you live in Luton that is probably not an option.

If I lived in the mainland I'd definitely take a trip to greenbaize for the day... What's your budget?

not really thought about it probably no more than 250 really

i would stay away from a tip of 8.5mm in general look for a cue within the range 57-58" long 17-19oz 9-10mm

def not a parris or you will be out of the game for a lot longer!

I agree with Andrew that 8.5mm is too small for snooker so 9.5mm would be more appropriate. For £250 you could just about afford a GBL but only just as their prices has slowly increased with their reputation but personally I would get a Phoenix cue from craftsman cues in kippax Leeds. They are amazing cues and you could get a plain ebony Phoenix cue with both extensions for £211

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY. Check out www.franksandellcuesport.co.uk. A drive to Worthing may seem a long way but at least you will know what you are paying for.:snooker: F.

I agree try before you buy if you can, but for your budget Andy Travis will make you one to your own specs, I'm sure he's around that price for a classic ebony one, and he has a very good reputation, do a search for his cues on here, if not ADR is bound to have something nice in that price range, with no waiting time, good luck.

Noticed on another thread you also wanted a few coaching updates. You will see from the website that I can help you with that and if you bought a cue probably be a free lesson in complete privacy. :snooker: F.

Hi Paul, may I ask a question? What is Utopia? Never heard of it. I mean, where are they made? UK? Thailand? . I can not find anything about this brand on the Internet.
