Is there anyone here who might be able to help with thoughts, or info about Shark, or O'Min Snooker cues?

V
Please forgive me for asking in the main forum. I see there is a Snooker section on here, but I am not sure how busy that section is.

Anyways, I am curious if anyone here might know any info about these cues.

There is a 10 foot snooker table here in town, so I thought it would be cool to get a snooker cue, just so I could try the game out.

Anyways, does anyone here know if these cues are garbage, or decent quality, or what? I know it is a long shot, asking on a pool forum, lol, but thought it would be worth a try.

I grabbed these cues on a whim, because I thought the Shark cue looked interesting, and because they come with a case. And, because the price was fairly cheap, for the set, I thought. Might have been a dumb decision though, because I know nothing about snooker cues, lol.

Anywats, thanks for any thoughts, if you happen to be an enthusiast, and know much about Snooker cues.

I am thinking that these cues might be from Thailand, but I am not sure.

Viking Cue Factory Tour

Joss did the finger joint back in the 1980's.

This is the Viking.

This is a modern Joss core.

We recently saw a Schon cue factory tour, I am interested in comparing and contrasting all of what the current makers do.

Adam Musashi cues have a square core.

I have seen some "custom" makers using expanding adhesives around a core to fill the gap rather than machine to tight tolerances.

The Viking finger joint is featured in this video.

I've also experienced neck issues, hamstring issues, and elbow issues (all partly due to my height). I cover many common pool ailments, and how to deal with them, in the following series of videos that I filmed with sports physical therapists:
