Ive just recently started playing snooker again, I played when I was younger but now im looking to get into the game and play regularly, but my main problem is picking a snooker cue. Ive seen that peradon are a good make and have been looking into some handmade cues aswell. I saw a place callee Dunns Cues but cant really find many reviews from the last 2 years or so, so yeah I am trting to see if they are a trustworthy seller or if anyone else has any ideas for me, thanks in advance.

Hi, welcome, how much do you want to spend ??? and is that for cue alone or are you wanting case and extensions too ?? that may influence your choices -
Hi, id say under 200 roughly, I have a case and a telescopic extension, I need a mini butt and a cue, been borrowing my dads the last month and I just cant seem to find to much.Comment

Do you know what make of cue your extension came off ?? as they are not all the same fitting (damn nuisance !)
Do you know how long a cue you want, tip diameter, and weight ? or are you just after anything lol
Oops forgot to ask, a one piece cue or 3/4 ??Comment

It fits onto my dads peradon cue and its one of the ones that the cue just pushes into and not a screw in one, I bought a 3/4 case so id hope to be buying a 3/4 cue lol. 58" length, tip can be anything from 9-10mm and weight id probably say medium weight, 18oz roughly as I seem to feel comfortable using a cue at that weight, I know this because my dads cue is that weight and length lol.Comment

with your spec and budget any of the thai cues is the way to go.Comment

Yeah maybe, a couple of the peradon cues are nice but ive emailed the companies to see if they are in stock but ive not been getting many replies, I was thinking that Dunns Cues might be a good shout but since there hasnt been any reviews since 2011 I think it is and that makes it seem a bit risky to buy from and cant see much else.Comment

there are some folks on here with thai cues - i might have one or two left or try stu green at green baize.Originally Posted by DavidAnderson147 View PostComment

Would you not recommend buying from Dunns Cues? They have a decent deal for a 3/4 handmade cue, an aluminium case, a minibutt and a telescopic extension but I cant find much on the company apart from that they are based in Hong Kong.Comment

Welcome, I've heard mixed reviews about Dunns cues. Personally I'd go for Greenbeize cues (there's a website). Great reviews here on the Forum and my mate has one which he loves. The owner, Stu, knows his stuff and is very helpful.Originally Posted by DavidAnderson147 View PostComment

Why not try Wright Cues of Hull. I'm glad I did. www.wrightcues.co.uk Often Reg has special offers on facebook also.
See photos of my Wright cue

Hi all, just ordered a cue from green baize, I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a top quality hand made cue, Stu was really helpful with me picking my cue, so yeah I highly recommend buying a cue from there, thanks for everybodys help

With a snooker cue you get what you pay for if the cue is custom made to your exact specification it will be much more expensive. I'd say the best cue makers are Trevor White and Mike Woolridge but I think you'd find it very difficult to get one of their cues for £200. I have heard that Phoenix cues are very good and are reasonably priced the grain and quality of the ash is supposed to be very good Dominic Dale has praised them in his interview on YouTubeComment
