  • Snooker cue identification

    Hi I was hoping someone could shed some light on my snooker cue that I have had for over 30 years. It was bought from my local club when I was 11 which would be around 1989. The badge on the butt used to say Georgian classic around the outer edge of badge. For years I have assumed it was a peradon. Many years ago the quick release joint wore down so badly it would not tighten so I sent to peradon in Liverpool for repair. They very quickly got back to me and said it was not a peradon and could not help repair. I was hoping someone could identify the name or design of the quick release. Another unique feature I think it has is it is a 3/4 with an extension of around 26/28” that screws into top half of cue but the other end of the extension has provisions to screw the butt into making it 85/90” long. It seems I cannot add photos just now. Hopefully other info may be enough.

      There's a few it could be, cue craft used the term quick release back then, but pics will be the only way to decide. Try the below to upload photos as this is the best way on this site.

      How to add images to your TSF posts
      You can use a free image-sharing site such as ImgBB, without registering (you can register for free), to upload your images, you may have to do the “not a robot” checks quickly. There are other image sharing sites as well.
      ImgBB.com
      Click on "Start Uploading"
      Browse to the file and select it, click Open
      Auto delete image - leave as "Don't autodelete".
      Click "Upload".
      Change "Embed Codes" to "BBCode full linked".
      Hover over the code in the box, a "COPY" will appear, click this.
      Go to your TSF post and paste.
      You can repeat for multiple images in a single post.

          Here they are I hope. The cue was in the case at the time with a cue craft Tudor. My cue cost £99 at the time and the Tudor was £105. I know the two joints were different but that wasn’t a quick release I think. https://ibb.co/Y3HzTMq

            To my knowledge no one other than cue craft have used the "dot to dot" quick release Line up method you appear to have in that photo. Others may know more.

                  Thankyou. Ultimately my goal is to get it back as was when new.
