New here from East Sussex, new cue

[monocot1]

Hi I'm new to the forum, I've been playing snooker on and off (casually just for fun) most of my life. I've played a couple of hours every few weeks for the last 2 years and recently been getting more into it and playing more often.

I've recently upgraded my cue to a 17oz 58" 10mm Peradon and noticed an immediate improvement in my game. The lacquer on my old cue was really making it sticky and difficult to cue smoothly, I was surprised how big of a difference it made using the new one. I went from struggling to string 2 or 3 balls together to getting a break of 24 the third time I played with it, which is the highest I can remember. Now I'd like to be able to build breaks more consistently and beat my record, so I'll keep practicing!

Welcome to TSF :snooker:

If you're near Brighton, check out the Castle Club. Best club I've been too in years. They have Jamaican chèfs in the kitchen making Jerk chicken, which is pretty unique for a snooker club

Oh that's different! I'm about an hour away from Brighton but go there sometimes so will keep that in mind, thanks

Check out franksandellcuesport .co.uk I have coached in the Eastbourne area for decades and have a very active cue supply business where you can "TRY BEFORE YOU BUY" in complete privacy. You can call me on 01903 238571 to chat things over. I am in Worthing BN147JL.

Oh that would have been great, I wondered if there was somewhere like that so I may do that next time I'm looking for a cue. Thanks Frank. I've considered having a few coaching sessions too sometime - I'm more Hastings/Bexhill area but I could do Eastbourne.

Hi I’m new to the forum and just started playing again and I have just moved to Bexhill if you fancy a game sometime.

[monocot1]

Hi Busheta, oh cool sure I'd be up for a game sometime :-) O'Sullivans is a nice club I joined recently. I'd private message you but need 10 posts to do it.

[Busheta]

That would be great how do we arrange something as I’m not sure about the rules around posting my phone number

[monocot1]

I can't see a rule against it, someone else already shared their number in this thread, but if you prefer something a bit more private as I would, I'll keep this temporary chat room open for the evening and hopefully catch you there?: https://tlk.io/bushetamonocot should be able to exchange details there and then delete them

[Busheta]

I’ve put my details on there hopefully it works

[monocot1]

Got it thanks
