Looking for a new cue, can anyone help?

[itsnoteasy]

Yep one piece if you have any.

Have a look at these and I would buy 3 sets of differently weighted cues for your budget of £300 and pick which one suits you best. You can always sell the others off at some point.

Not sure what sort of design you like but here is 3 cues to have a look at.

Hi guys Im after a cue for my son and all of these look ok to me but are they ok?

On now reading through the last 22 pages it seems they are not. My son is 22 and only just starting out so not sure spending big bucks will help...

A few of us have bought these and for the money they're really decent cues.

All ordered, yay! Phew that was quick

Ordered the GBL C8 1pc cue, with matching burwood mini butt, plus a few little extras, can't wait!

Nice one DM, bet you can't wait for it to be delivered and start potting a few balls.

Too right, I'm now chomping at the bit to start playing after all these years away from the game

Looks like your initial 300 budget has gone out the window. Just looked, all those C8 cues look amazing.

What does everyone think about this mini butt, it's the same wood as the middle splice? Or shall I hold out for the Burwood that the main butt is made of, but will take a couple of weeks to arrive in stock?

Yeah, I originally thought about £300 all in but the cue alone is over that without the case etc... just don't tell the wife lol

get this one but order the other one anyway. I don't think TSF can cope with you not having a cue for another couple of weeks!
then either send one back to Stu or keep both?

don't worry, none of us on TSF tell the partners about their snooker-related-habits! :wink:

Lol, Stu will send the cue etc now but send the new butt on in a few weeks, I don't want to spend another £32 as I'm already way over budget. Just asking for your opinions on the look of the one in the pic?

I see from reading some older posts that I'm not alone in the secret snooker spending society, or the SSSS from now on lol

as you can see from my avatar I have one mini butt that is solid light gold wood (masur karelian birch), I also have another which matches the splicing on the butt of the cue (maser Karelian birch veneer on ebony veneer on white veneer on ebony body, easier to show it
http://www.thesnookerforum.co.uk/boa...455#post646455 ).

I like this one but a solid one to match the front splicing on the cue would be smart as well.
As with many things with snooker, personal preference is paramount.

Thanks Dean,

What a stunning cue and mini butt you've got, really nice, and very similar specs to the one I've just ordered

The butt to match the middle splices does look good, and it'll certainly be unique, though I really do love the look of the main burwood butt? mmmm decisions decisions lol

I'd wait for the other mini myself..

Congrats on buying a new cue. About time... lol
