just plug away selling what you want. dont represent something as anything you are not sure of. just say this cue for sale.
then its up to the buyer to decide if he is willing to take a risk.

That's really best.

Cues listed as "unknown" or "unbranded" get attention.

Guessing wrong looks bad, some will immediately shy away thinking the sale might be a scam.

this thing is worth big bucks. no one here can afford it. i know you are all jealous of him for having it but you need to get your head out of the clouds. and bow down to him for having one of the rarest cues on the planet. even if it is a piece of junk.

To learn the deflection of your cue, place an object ball directly on the rail in the center of the head rail.

Place the cue ball on the foot spot.

Using center left or right English, cut the object ball down the rail into the left and right head rail corner pockets.

Even though the rail is a "helper", you have to shoot hard, use EXTREME inside English and hit super thin beside the object ball to move it that far down the rail.

You will never make it without English.

How many times in a row can most people do it?

I can do it quite often with most of my shafts after only a few tries...even my 14mm wooden shafts that I used for most of my serious playing years.

Now move the cue ball one diamond left or right of the foot spot and try to cut the object ball into the corner pocket on the same side of the table you moved the cue ball. You are now shooting at an angle opposite of the pocket and you have to hit harder and use even more inside English.

I can do that, too, but my percentage goes down.

When I was a kid working in the pool hall, I would spend untold hours practicing by myself on the snooker table using only the numbered balls as a rotation game. I would put the cue ball on the 4-spot (center) in the D-shaped line at the head of the table and use extreme outside English to cut the 7-ball off its spot into the corner pockets on the end of the table.

This was using a normal pool cue, not a snooker cue.

Deflection and/or swerve are things you have control of once you become familiar with your cue.

They shouldn't scare you.
