Facebook cues.... Are they any good?

[Mark187187]

You could try Frank Sandell in Worthing if he is still about. Give him a call to see what he has. Worth a visit anyway, as it is somewhat of a snooker museum with lots of interesting bits and pieces. Also worth seeing if the Castle Club in Brighton has anything for sale. Often some cues in a cabinet for sale.

Thanks Mark, good to know there could be a few places closer to home 👍

Theres good advice on this thread Benny, the general feeling with the Facebook brands is that the quality is inconsistent at best. The pictures of cues look great but there is a big difference in quality of Chinese cues compared to a quality Thai cue and this is were it becomes a bit of a lottery buying one from there as some cheaper Chinese cues can be sold as Thai made etc.

Brands like Master cue, phoenix cues , Maximus cues, Tom Classic cue are tried and tested brands that have consistent quality and should just about come in on your budget depending which model you choose. The difference in these cues compared to say Grand emperor cue which are an ok starter cue is huge. It's all about feel and response and these Thai makers understand that very well whereas some of the cheap Chinese cues feel like broomsticks, so don't buy on looks alone.

Thanks for detailed reply, great community on here. Very grateful

Thanks for all your help everyone.

Finally bit the bullet, and went for:
GBL Classic 9.7mm tip, 18.7oz titanium ferrule.

Very excited for its arrival, treated myself to an extension and mini butt with a new case.

Stu at Greenbaize was a gent throughout, nothing too much trouble.

Will post review in due course 👍
