Snooker cue in London

[seagullmouse]

Hi,

I am new to the forum so hi!

I play around the Clapham area of London and have been sharing a cure with a friend for years now.

I am keen to buy a cue but don't know where to start.

I want to find a club that offers a large array of cues and play for a few hours, trying a few of them. Probably want to pay around £100.

However the only clubs I can find all seem either dodgy or don't sell cues.

Can anyone recommend a decent club in the London area where I can pick up a cue for a reasonable price and try cues out on the day?

Thanks in advance

Matt :snooker:

i can get a cue to you for that in lewisham and you can try it first

osbourns cues in tooting has a good range.

thanks for getting back to me

sorry if i wasnt clear - I am looking for a decent club rather than just someone selling cues...?

cheers

im also looking for a decent club in london, around uxbridge area.

its a shame there isnt a list on the internet, i have tried using google but only chain companies like rileys come up.

[thai_son22]

yes, i can still do that for you. the club isnt decent but there are plenty hand made cues

[haz_pro]

hello thai_son, i tried contacting you previously to ask where this club was but didnt get a reply :S.

Im also interested in the cues, who are they made buy?

[thai_son22]

lewisham, the older cue craft handmade range. so are generally better than todays ones

[haz_pro]

opposite end of london to me

[seagullmouse]

there must be a decent club in London somewhere?

[thai_son22]

depends how u rate decent. there are plenty

[seagullmouse]

i just mean a club that isn't a dodgy rileys or something like that. i.e. not full of american pool tables and bad music

just a decent club that sells cues that I can try :-)

[thai_son22]

you wont find many then. not handmade cues anyway

[seagullmouse]

ok... handmade cues but bad music and pool?

From your mentioning of loud music and pool tables did you mean Rileys perhaps? when i first started playing it was in Rileys but the tables are shocking and environment is not fit for snooker.

i play in Camberwell (jonos) now. It's not awe inspiring inside or out but they do take pride in the most important thing - the tables!

They have a few cues in the cabinet but nothing amazing from what i can remember.
