In Praise of Cannon Cues!

[Apprenti]

Hey guys,

Just posting here to say how impressed I am with my new cue! I bought a cannon two-piece cue recently, expecting a cheap stick that'll just last me til I can afford a better one, but what I got really impressed me. Nice straight high-quality piece of ash, neat splices. Even the simulated ebony feels nice!

Highly recommended to anyone from beginner to pro! So impressed I've asked for a 3/4 Cannon cue for Christmas

Cheers,
Joe

PS I am in no ways affiliated with Cannon or Peradon, just wanted to share my views on a company that rarely seems to get mentioned on this site

good for you, but if you'r impressed with it why change?

[Apprenti]

You misunderstand, I like it so much that I want another one haha

I'll probably thin the tip on my current one for pool and use the 3/4 one for snooker. Just wanted to recommend a little-recommended line of cues

Did you ever play a high end cue? Don't get me wrong you can play good with any cue.

I will do when I figure out how! It's the Azure one, if you're wondering. I'm thinking about asking for the exigé as a joint Christmas present as it's 3/4 jointed and comes with an extension and case.

I have not tried out any high end cues (besides a Riley Hybrid which I was told cost a lot) but I've played with plenty of other cues in this price range, and the cannon just blows them all out the water (no pun intended!).

Riley Hybrid what the hell is that

Exactly what I said! That's why I'm dubious to it having cost a lot haha.

It's this weird three piece cue. It has an ash shaft, and joints at centre and 3/4. The last 1/4 of the butt is made of this weird rubberised squishy stuff, and it's covered in a really thick clear coat of something. Plus it weighs a ton; horrid, horrid cue

It's horrible, the varnish is really thick and sticky and it weighs a ton. And the rubber... just why?!?!

[Neil Taperell]

I think that it is more of a Pool Cue , personally i would not hold open my car bonnet with it ......but then again i am a cue snob

[Apprenti]

Haha I can't afford to be a cue snob! I only just managed to afford my one, which is why I'm so chuffed that it's really nice!
