DG:

HAH!!! You don't know my missus. I would end up with the dust rag crammed up where the sun don't shine (she's an independent Scot plus the snooker room is MINE). I don't help her clean up her workshop either, which is always a mess and she would get the better of the deal if we helped each other to clean up.

That pool picture on the wall has to go, disgraceful! Put a picture of Ronnie up instead. I guess all that packaging is to do with your huge number of cue purchases these days? lol

[Terry Davidson]

I don't think I want Ronnie watching me while I play.

Yes, I always have packing under the table but I think it's about time I sold off some of these cues. Want a nice Exquisite cue?

Sometimes I practice at Ronnie's old club.
There are photos of him EVERYWHERE.

Terry out of curiosity how much of a life span does the hainsworth precision cloth have?

[ADR147]

Fantastic setup you have.
But you must resist dumping stuff under the table.
Only jealous

pretty sure some of that stuff came from me!

When I talked to the sales rep at Hainsworth I originally wanted to order their 'Match' cloth as I've played on that at Terry Griffiths place and I've also heard that a lot of players prefer it (it's used in the Power Snooker thing).

However she explained the 'Precision' cloth was a new cloth from them and it was faster than the Match cloth and kept its speed over time much better than 6811 or #10 and also didn't wear as bad. She said it didn't require heaters and also didn't really need ironing, just brushing and blocking.

I can attest to the #10 wearing out pretty fast, in fact mine has worn out faster than the 6811 I used to have on my table which stood up pretty well for around 3 years of daily play of about 5hrs per day and also coaching in the evenings sometimes. This #10 has been on for about 8 months now and there are bad wear lines off the black spot and also straight blue shots and potting the blue off the yellow spot which is an exercise I use with my students playing with their eyes closed.

I intend to change the cloth for the Precision sometime soon and then I can give a better review of it. They have a video posted on their site with Ding using the cloth and also commenting on it. He said it plays well, comparable to the #10 and he only plays on new #10 cloths. Plus the price for the Precision was only just a bit more than the Match cloth.

ADR:

Yes, I believe a couple of those shipping packages came from you. I still have the tube you used to send me the 4 Buffalo and Britannia cues quite awhile ago.

thought so, and not forgetting all the other cue makers and sellers
Terry - have you not got a cue cabinet in your room to display your collections, did not see one in the photos?

[Terry Davidson]

Dean:

No cue cabinet as I'm not really a collector. My intention has always been to try out the cues I buy and if I don't get on with them then sell them on. Right now I only have about 8 cues here at the moment and I've just sold the Tony Glover hornbeam cue today but then I also just received an Andy Gibb cue today which I have yet to take a look at.

Let me know if you'd like a very nice Exquisite cue, 57", 18.4oz, ash/ebony with rosewood splices, 9.5mm, 29mm, balanced at 17" or how about a JP Classic with same specs?

Terry

[DeanH]

I did like the Glover hornbeam, glad you got a sale for it, I was following that thread, was it to the OP of that thread - who really was thinking of an ash?
I am not really in the market for another cue, the wife has told me in no uncertain terms that I am not allowed to be a cue collector - oh if only
I think I have hit my limit at 4 in her eyes.
We are all eagerly awaiting your review of the new Gibbs, did look very nice. Hope it goes well, it does have a battle against your current TW though

[Terry Davidson]

Nope, it wasn't OP but someone who read my comments and asked for photos.

I will wait until I have had a chance to give the Gibbs cue a good work-out before I can comment
