I do not know if this has been posted earlier or not.
Stephen Hendry plays with a

ACUERATE 147 CUE,

147 MAPLE cue
58 inch
9mm tip size.

I get an e mail from Acuerate cue's whenever a player playing with their cue wins a round or makes a 147.

Their means sponsorship. It doesn't mean Stephen Hendry uses that specific cue.

[ADR147]

but he does indeed - i was standing next to him while he was using it a couple of weeks ago.

[Semih_Sayginer]

but he does indeed.

agreed. he does use one an Acuerate.

as he said after his match with Carter..."it wasnt the cue, ive played mince with the other one too" but took nothing away from Carter. He was full of praise for him actually..

[ADR147]

carter played very well but its still madness to change cues just before the worlds!

Acuerate cue review now up in a new thread.

Going back to Trainspotting's original question about what was Steven Hendry's original cue. I did some research into this cue, and It wasn't just a straight Powerglide connoiseur, I have seen these come up on Ebay ocasionally, but If you want the actual model that Hendry had, you must get one that was endorsed by Rex Williams, if you look at photos or old footage of hendry you will see that above the Ebony spicing it has Rex's Signature on it. Not even sure if it was called a connoiseur in those days. Yet to see one with the Signature on it.

[ADR147]

75% of them fit the bill.

[ADR147]

I'm with Trev, its more than staggering, its bloody rediculous. No player, not even O'Sullivan could adapt to a new cue when you have a tournament less than 3 weeks away. The fact that its not just any tournament but the World championships just makes this whole story seem more like an April fools joke beyond the 1st April!

Hendry will be using his 3/4 plain Ebony/Maple Parris cue at the crucible or I'm a martian from outer space!

whats it like out there in space?

instead of trying to destroy other people's building in order to have the biggest and greatest one, the better way to achieve something is to try and create your own building.

Everybody is screaming for scientific proof.

Well that's the biggest scream of all.


FACT: the acuerate cues work
FACT: with the Acuerate cues, the throw is reduced dramatically
FACT: the Acuerate hardly throws the ball at all.
FACT: the best proof is to try one
FACT: anybody can critisise somebody on an internet forum as it's the easiest thing in the world.
FACT: If it was indeed a load of b******ll***x, then why so much effort to bad mouth the Acuerate cue?? A bad product will always destroy itself.
FACT: if it were to be a bad product or a scam, it would have destroyed itself already.
FACT: the success of the acuerate cue is growing, and more people are starting to discover it.
FACT: I have tried one 5 weeks ago, and I am fully convinced that it works, and that it is a better performing cue then any other.
FACT: I don't need any scientific proof for this. I only need to see it with my own eyes. Scientific proof is for things we don't understand, and things we can't figure out for ourselves.

Is there life on Mars? I don't know, but you can convince me with scientific proof.

Does my cell phone is harmfull for my health? I don't know, so scientific proof could come in handy

Is my fridge in the kitches keeping my food cold? Yes, I can experience this, and even though this is probably porven by scientists, I'm not bothered, cause it works. That's all I need to know.

Is the acuerate different from traditional cues? YES, no scientific proof needed, I can try it

Does the Acuerate throw the cue ball off line? NO, hardly at all.
Does the Acuerate outperforme most other cues? YES, and I can see that from miles away. No scientist needed here.

Conclusion: Don't critisise, but try.
There's nothing magical about it. It's pure and simple physics.


To me, it's the best cue I ever tried, and I'm not the only one with this opinion.
I know lots of players who put aside their fancy expensive cue, and are playing with an Acuerate now, simply because to them it's a better performing cue.

I'm not saying that all the other cues are bad. They aren't.
I just want to say that everything deserves a fair chance.

Don't critisese just because you think you're right, and others are wrong.
Critisise after you have tried. But try first before you critisise, because there's always tomorrow.

“Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment.”

we have now all tried one - look for the acuerate review thread.

Geordie pool have got one called the black widow, which is a replica of the powerglide I believe...their batch is made for 8ball but I expect you could get one made with a snooker spec - they're very cheap but the materials are pretty good. If not, you can always ask a custom cue maker to make one for you.

You can these from craftsmans cues in yorkshire http://www.craftsmancues.com/acatalo...pool_cues.html about £125.00

[ADR147]

yes except its not a very good replica - hendry is and always was a maple player

[mattyshinobi22]

there was one on ebay, exactly like hendrys cue but was a two piece and it was ash.

it is called Rex Williams( The Diamond Jubilee cue

[ADR147]

he he - so not remotely the same thing then!
