Heres a picture of the cue

Ahh yes i saw that last night, deffo hand spliced, but no details given of length, weight, or tip size, Plus it's centre split so not popular, you should get it cheap

[zach123]

Yeah I thought that I just wanted to try it out and could get it at a value price,
Actually would prefer a one piece but if its decent dont mind having a two piece

I have references to this cue in 86-88, and was about 2/3 the cost of a Cannon Ye Olde Ash Cue.

[zach123]

Oh thats interesting Dean have anything on how they play?

Cannon professional cue

sorry no, never played with a Cannon Professional, but a Cannon YeOldeAsh an old man down the club I used to go to played really well. But as has been said many times every cue is different and will feel different to different people.

[zach123]

Yes very true well hopefully I get it and it plays well

DeanH what was the most expensive cue in the Cannon range in the late 80s? I assume it was the Match?

in that date range the most expensive Cannon cue was the Match (approx just under double the Professional), the most expensive was the "Silver Match" at double the Professional - IIRC this has a solid silver badge plate.

Profession ~£45
Match ~£77
Silver Match ~£87


found an old thread with a picture

Looking further date-wise, the last mention I find of Silver Match was into the 90s and was around £117

ah thanks very much, DeanH . I have a ye Olde Ash, which i do like, but i played with a Match recently and found it very well balanced (and the splicing was lovely)....

I think back then Cannon had some good makers in the workshop
