**Post Pictures of your cue!**

[Byrom]

It depends on what your trying to achieve. I play pool and snooker for the social aspect of it.

A good night or day out with my mates does it for me.

Switching cues hasn't ever really changed my game for better or worse, but then again I don't practice

or play at a high level. Just fancy a we change now and again.

I sympathise and think you make a great point here - and though it is obviously not the best idea to achieve consistency in your game as a few members on here rightly say - if you are a social player and not a pro and just love the game and messing with different cues what's wrong with that really guys? - how many of us are ever going to be the next judd trump?

The thrill of the chase in finding the right one is great - love the excitement of waiting for something that may or may not feel and look great. Searching for the best thing you can find is a challenge and when you do keeping hold of her will be another/

Changing cues can encourage you to play more too - who does not like getting used to a cues playing qualities - they are all different its all good I say.

I don't think changing cues has ever ruined anyone's career - I'd suggest changing cues is the effect, not the cause.
The cause is more likely to be a lack of confidence or general mental fragility, which happens to everyone from time to time - unless you're a machine like Hendry.

Fair play to anyone who collect or swap cues on a regular basis if that's what they enjoy spending their money on them good luck to them all, but for me it's slightly worrying if they are not at that stage where one particular cue suit their game, style. Changing cues or specs etc etc is a big no no in my book.
You only have to look at the likes of Dominic Dale whos ruined his snooker career due to his love of cues, winning the Grand Prix with a Trevor white cue and then selling it that year.

Oh yeah,, as I mantioned many times on this forum,, changing cues does'nt do any good on ur game !! Better stick with just one cue that suits ur game !! Imo !!
As Perpet Said , can effect ur game !! It's more in ur mind !!
Anyway, for me , just one playing cue !! Even if Sumone is a cctr ,, keeping one cue as playing cue and Not change it every day Or week , is better !!

Hi Ramon
Yeah that's the spec from the seller. Don't have a set of digital callipers to check though. The tip is slightly smaller than the 10mm one on my old cue. Not overly fussed so long as it's not too small. I love this cue. Hit my highest match break of 56 with it and regularly knocking in 40 odds . Upping the practice and hoping to get some professional coaching soon so we'll see how that goes lol

Thanks for replay David !! To be honest ,, I asked about it cus is the first time I see a MW cue with this tip size !! That does'nt matter realy !! The main thing is the cue suits ur game !! I myself have played with MW cue for a few yrs!! They are Great players !! I do'nt think you'll be sorry !! I am glad that your game improves !! and a few lessons with a coach has its advantages !! good decision !! Enjoy ur game !!

Hi Folks

Well I bought a second hand cue a few weeks ago as it appears that my order for a JPU is going to take considerably longer than the one year quoted at the time (the year is up at the end of this month and my order status is still received.....). So courtesy of Messrs. Andrew Watt and Stevie Baillie I was able to have a look at at least 20+ cues from just about every premium and up and coming cue maker you care to mention.I thought I had died and gone to heaven LOL. Anyway I eventually whittled it down to a shortlist of 4:

3/4 butt ash TW (I so wanted to buy a TW)
1 piece ash Maximus Ultimate (a gorgeous looking cue)
3/4 butt ash MW Black Legend
1 piece ash Jason Owen

Stevie was kind enough to bring these cues down to my local club for a hit with them. Long story short,the MW blew the others out of the water IMHO and I bought it the same night. I am no expert but for me the feel, balance and hit on the MW is truly superb. Specs are: BP 16", tip 9.62mm, butt 29.25mm, length 58 3/8" and weight 19oz. I can honestly say that I think this will be my main playing cue end of. Just got it back from Mike after an MOT and Ultrashine and it looks the canines testicles. The feel and touch on the shot with the Blackspin ferrule and tip is amazing. I am a little worried now because I cant honestly see how my JPU (whenever it arrives) will match up to this astonishing MW. Anyway link below for a couple of pics.
