Was the snooker hall today and thought I'd take some snaps of my new cue.
Unfortunately (Yes I'm full of excuses!) the photos are TERRIBLE for several reasons:
1) It was me taking the photo
2) I was trying to avoid using flash to ensure I didn't distract others playing
3) Despite this I was still rushing to ensure I didn't distract others playing
Because of this the photos are very very blurry. I also, for some reason, was taking pics of the whole cue (Hard to fit it in) compared to taking close ups like I've noticed on here). I've reduced the photos by quite a bit so the blur doesn't look so bad but even then it is :/ I was tempted to just delete them and try again but I wanted to show off the cue and I definitely wont take the (Actually pretty terrible) camera with me tomorrow, as it'll be too busy... And I'll probably not end up at the hall again until a week today!
I'll endevour to take some betters photos at a later date - The cue, however, will be no doubt "boring" to many of you as compared to some of the cues on here it is much more basic. However, I love the cue... It's fantastic!
Anyway, some photos:
I was really glad after taking the advice of forum members to physically handle cues before purchasing. If I hadn't I'd have purchased a cue with more "standard" specs but after handling a few, this cue was both lighter and tapered to be much thinner at the tip. It was lucky really, considering that whilst new this cue was actually built for somebody else, but it simply felt perfect for me when I held it.
Felt I got a great deal with the cue and whilst it may not have (Obviously!) transformed my game, I certainly take much greater pride in using it... Which I feel gives me more confidence if nothing else
Specs:
3/4 jointed at 16"
9.5mm tip
58" Long
17 3/4 oz
Ash shaft, solid ebony butt with single tulipwood front splice tipped with 2 maple veneers
EDIT: Really am gutted about the naff photos looking back at them now... They really don't do the cue justice. I'll aim to get some better ones ASAP... I waited until I was at the snooker hall because I thought it'd look better, but even it I just have to lay it on my bed Just want to show it offLast edited by LavaChild; 27 February 2009, 05:12 PM.

Doesn't look boring to me at all! Classy elegance, this should be a guidline for
snooker cues IMO.
No doubt that it needs a lot more craftsmanship and skill to make an incredibly
fancy looking cue, but...
Nice cue! Good to hear you're happy with it!

Nice cues, both of the above.
Lavachild, I see now why you bought what you did, nice cue and case combo; I really like the cue, it looks very elegant, not boring at all, and if you're happy with the way it plays, then you've done yourself proud! Nice one!Il n'y a pas de problemes; il n'y a que des solutions qu'on n'a pas encore trouvées.

Looks like one of the leather ones from green baize to me
http://www.greenbaize.com/cases.htm
last one down on this page. I didn't neccesarily mean that was a peradon, i just like the blue peradon which is similar.
Heres the paradon,
Note, NOT my cue. I am getting a similar cue though and would be buying that case if i could afford it.Last edited by RGCirencester; 27 February 2009, 09:10 PM.sigpic A Truly Beakerific Long Pot Sir!

A big thank-you to Rob for doing what I couldn't: posting these pictures! I'd like to stress that not all of these cues are mine; some are for friends, some for me. I've wanted to post them for a while just to show what nice cues there are out there. Now you know!Il n'y a pas de problemes; il n'y a que des solutions qu'on n'a pas encore trouvées.
