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

If you already got them. then it doesn't really matter...
You don't have to have a snooker cue to try the game, you can use your pool cue, especially if you have a small diameter tip, like 12mm or under. I know a guy here that owns a pool room that plays snooker on a 12ft tables with his Mezz and ignite shaft (12.2mm) and doing very well... you can watch him here running 73 points on a 12ft with his Mezz

As for the cues, I don't know the Shark brand.
There is the original Omin from Thailand, they make good snooker cues. And there is the Chinese Omin that make mediocre cues at best. hard to see from your images where the Omin cue is from but if it was cheap then I guess it's a Chinese Omin

I imagine live in person. Where there's reverb, there's boom. Looking for redeeming qualities, I only find youtube sound. :ROFLMAO:

Glad you enjoyed it. I have 3 or 4 Rush albums I rescued out the 5 dollar bin at Walmart and comfortably entombed in the stacks of CDs I own. Gave 'em a couple minutes time years ago, no response. I'll try again in your honor - no doubt with the same results. :p

Johnny loses his mind on livestream

Lost his mind is such an exaggeration. He was upset obviously from the antics coming from his opponent. By the way, why is this conversation prefaced by talking about how Archer was out of line or had just lost, etc ? If Martinez had behaved the same way against another top player, it would have been an outrage. And his behavior was outrageous. Period.

I have the boccette set coming soon along with the blue carom ball set that seams to only be in Korea. For those I have a different source.

Do you mean the set for Korean 6-Ball Carom? 6 different colours in 65,5mm and 3 of them have the numbers 0, 5 and 10 on them?
If so, do you have a better source then the Korean ebay seller? Even though they offer free shipping, the price is still quite high for something you don‘t use that often 🙃

I played the game with normal 61,5mm carom balls instead.

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

Chopdoc
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.
