Welcome Adam .

Think your posts get moderated first , then they will appear .

So you are getting a new cue and starting out playing snooker . What cue are you getting ?

Would suggest trying to find a league team to play in , great fun and you can get some good match play experience .

Cheers niel. I'm unsure At the moment that what my other post was about looking for help on a cue .old cue got taken from the club bought a cheap new cue and just don't enjoy using it feel wrong playing with it (never thought I'd see how much a cue can feel good or bad ) yh I play pool in 2 leagues always a good laugh don't think I'm good enough in snooker yet only hit 30-40 points at the moment

Sorry Neil don't know why my phone changed it

Welcome mate. Carry on posting and once you get up to 10 posts you should get "full membership" and be able to do a lot more things like PM folk. 30-40 break is brilliant for starters. Obviously you have a bit of natural talent.

Cheers .will do hopefully they start showing soon lol .cheers cueing action from pool but big difference with balls and table being bigger take time but will be worth it .

[Neil Taperell]

What's your budget for a new cue ?

[Ewzy]

Probably £250 -£300 don't know about going more than that .that enough ?

[Ewzy]

About 250 -300 that enough got a case already ?

[Neil Taperell]

Yep , you can get a fairly decent cue for that .

Have you seen the Gary Taylor cue that JRC750 is selling . Less than £200 !! Great deal .
Not sure if it's your specs though .

That's my problem I ain't to sure on what weight, butt and what wood to use that what put me off buying online with out trying a few cues but from what I've read I'm abit stuck with only Trevor making in wales and such a long wait . Any tips on what wood to use ? Thanks

crispian jones is a cue maker and also from wales makes decent cues and cracking cases.

as been said, TW and CJ are making cues but there is also Billy Moore (not sure if active) and Dragon Cues and Jonathan Lonergan as well making cues in Wales
I am sure there could be others - anyone know any others?

[Ewzy]

Cheers Dave and dean .witch would u recommend to look at for quality and service I don't want to be waiting to long

[DeanH]

Obviously TW is quality but length of time is long to wait but worth it if he is taking orders.
CJ has good feedback.
Dragon, not heard much but seem to be ok. A recent thread mentioned a newbie placing an order but no update yet.
Lonergan again not much info and can be expensive.
