Cue needed on return to the Game...

[DerekW]

Hello to all...

Just returning to snooker after an absence of almost 30 years and I'm in the market to replace my vintage Burroughes and Watts cue lost many years ago. I started playing in the early 1950s and continued through until around 1980 when I "lost the will" :dispirited: but now, in my seventies have suddenly found the urge to play again and am looking for the right cue.

I don't recall the 2/3 joint cues being around in my day (mine was 1-piece) but I'm drawn to the centre jointed for convenience. I've looked at Powerglide, Paradon and others online but would appreciate recommendations and those to avoid. I prefer ash to maple, hand spliced to machine and am generally otherwise standard.

Budget is not a problem although £400-plus bespoke cues would probably be a waste at my age!

Thanks for any advice you can give ... I shall look forward to regularly looking in here.

Hiya Derek, if you're in the North East then go to Green Baize in Thornaby www.greenbaize.com

Thanks for the link, Fred ... I'm in the West Midlands but visit family in Durham from time to time.

I have a custom ordered B&W cue in two piece design which I had made 15yrs ago or so. If you are interested, I can take some pictures.

Anyone paying in excess of 60 UK pound for a cue has more money than sense, have a look at this package. Good cue with great accessories.

If you are new to the game this might be true but if someone wants to pay for a high quality British cue with their own money then that is their own choice and they shouldn't be judged for it

There seems to be quite a few folk on here a bit obsessed with how others spend their money , it's very strange.

He's the seller probably.

Also stay away from powerglide they are mass produced rubbish. Peradon not that great either.
