The Grip: Terry's pearls of wisdom reproduced

[j6uk]

I didn't buy a good cue until I made a break over 120 and that was done with a club cue. I still use a 'so called club cue' today. The good thing about club cues is there are many of them to try out, the only problem is when you fall for one, how to get it out of the club

Thanks for all the good advice on here...lets see what happens next time i play

Where in the world are you from happy?

Oops, sorry I did not update my personal details yet.
But now, if I did, it will be obvious from whom I bought this cue from. And I hate to antagonize him with all this "concerns".

BTW, i realised that actually the cue length is "ok" for me. But seriously it is up to my nose.

Because I have extra long arms for my body size. I played school volleyball and basketball, resulting in my arms being about 10% longer (my own estimate).
So my gorilla arms may fit the cue after all! Or the other way round.

I am located in Zurich, Switzerland.

Maybe it was from YOU?
Nah....I'd better not say. Now I can edit my posts, and I have removed his name and shop.
It gave me a sleepless night because I could not understand if I was too picky or he was pulling a fast one by selling me an old (unused though) cue from his pile of liquidation cues literally lying around his dusty shop.

I should not mention names just in case he is on this website (which is a high possibility). He would have deduced it was me who walked into his shop.

I mean how many people buy cues from this guy in his shop? I am guessing very few, seeing the condition of his display area. Real shame.

I'd just live and let live. Play with my first cue and shut the 'fark' up.
Pardon me French.


PS: Snooker is a small small world. What goes around, comes around. There is also a chance I am the real arse newbie.

Thanks I am beginning to like you too.
I wil be cordial. Part of my snooker goal is to be more "gentlemanly". Whatever that means.
