Hi. I'm just starting to play after starting a new job last year and discovering that the dark little room with a leaky roof that no one ever seems to enter, actually houses a full size snooker table. I started to have a knock around during breaks and got the bug. I'm almost 50 and used to play a bit in my teens and early 20's. Never got very good, the occasional 30 break, that sort of level. I've since discovered that now a days, if I pot 4 balls in a row then I'm in great form 😂. But I've fallen in love with the game again and want to improve.
First thing, find somewhere to play and maybe update my cue. I still had my old cue from 30+yrs ago. An 80's High St, Sports Shop classic. £25 Riley cue with Stephen Hendry's signature on the shaft that I thought was the bee's knees. So a bit of Googling led me to Green Baize in Thornaby and the snooker club next door. What a great place. I left the house thinking "Do I really need to spend money on a cue when got a perfectly fine one already. I mean a cues a cue isn't it?" I left Green Baize with a nice, but not too expensive, Master Cue Pro Butt, case and extensions.
This was less than a week ago. so hoping my investment will pay off.. I'm hoping to play 3 or 4 times a week and watching the YouTube tutors. So we'll see how it goes.
