hi all

[em@rel]

Greetings everyone

I used to play snooker at my local temperence hall years ago but have recently got interested again after watching the TV coverage so I recently bought a Peradon Earl cue.

I also last night downloaded VP4 which is brilliant....kept me up untill 2 in the morning !

Regards

Mike

Welcome !! Enjoy the forum.

Have you got a favourite player?

[em@rel]

Thanks gazza147 and mythman69 for the warm welcome.

I would'nt say I have a favourite player but I like Shaun Murphy...I heard them say on the TV coverage that his cue is
about 50 years old...does anyone know anything about it ?.

It's originally a Tom Newman cue, which has had a new front splice added at some point

[em@rel]

Thanks for that information jrc

Welcome to TSF. Where do you play?

Hi neil..I used to play regularly at the Temperence billiard hall in Fulham SW London but that was ages ago
and apart from a few more recent games when at sales conferences with my company at Broadstairs..I'm
not actually playing anywhere at the moment.

Having recently watched a fair bit of snooker on Eurosport I got this uncontrollable urge to get myself a
cue (never had my own cue before) hence the Peradon Earl I mentioned in my first post. The trouble is I now
wear glasses and find it difficult to sight down the cue wthout the frames getting in the way so I may end
up just holding it while watching snooker on the TV...sad or what lol.
