    Hello everyone! I just joined the forum today and ordered a snooker cue. I have been playing pool seriously for about a year now and I have always loved snooker. Living in the USA there are not a lot of snooker players or tables to play on for that matter. I am going to start playing more and practicing.

          Welcome to TSF

          What cue did you order ?
          I am from Portland Oregon Streamer45. And I order a cheap from ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/261723017923...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT. I am actually looking to get a better cue for around 200-300 dollars. Here is my post http://www.thesnookerforum.co.uk/boa...7-Cue-For-Sale. If any of you guys know where I could get a decent cue it would be greatly appreciated. Trying to get a decent snooker cue in the states is a lot harder than you would think.

            Stick a decent tip on that cue and give it a go, it could play ok. That's a very very good price for what you got.

                I don't have a table currently, but there is one 10x5 at my home bar. The closest 6x12 is a good 45 minute to a hour drive away from me. Itsnoteasy, Its good to know that I got a decent deal. As soon as it gets here I am going to put a brown M Kamui tip on it. I haven't played to much snooker yet but I have been playing pool for about 2 years now. I have a stronger passion for snooker but its hard to find tables and even more difficult to find a good game. I think my highest break so for is about 30. Thank you guys for everything.
