Hi everyone
First time on here and looking for some opinions.
I am currently in my first season in our local snooker league after many years of playing pool. It’s gone better than I expected, but I am now looking at buying a better cue.
My current one was adapted years ago to suit pool and has a 7.5 – 8mm tip, which is probably on the small side for snooker, but I am used to using a smaller size.
I want a ¾ type cue with extendable extension, but I’m not looking to pay the sort of amount for a custom built cue.
Most of the ones I have seen on the internet and Ebay are 57 inches. My current one is 58 and even then at 6ft 2inch tall I find I hold it right at the end of the butt. I know it will be each to their own, but would someone of my height normally need a longer cue?
I also prefer a lighter cue of about 17 oz and most standard ones seem to be 19 oz.
I would rather try out a cue in a shop rather than take pot look over the net. I am in the Lancs area.
Can anyone offer some general advice on where to start, where to look and if I am likely to find an ‘off the shelf’ cue that will suit my preferences without breaking the bank. I was looking to pay no more than £100 but might be persuaded to go another £50 if I was convinced otherwise.
