None of the above In my opinion it would be "none of the above". Spend the money on some experimenting and dedicated, serious, practice time and the answer will present itself. barryc

Dale Perry Cues I've had 3 over the years all played very well and were very good cues for the price. Not real fancy but good players. They were all good values. barryc

13mm shafts That's very, good wish I could do it consistently with any size shaft. Too bad there is no one who plays like that around here maybe I could learn something. But as I said in the post "if it works use it". The question was why the 13mm shaft diameter "standard" and what I was...

13mm shafts Very good question and I often ask myself and friends the same thing. So far I've never received a rational answer. I'd really like to know where the 13mm "standard" came from as well. I hit snooker balls a lot which requires a lot of accuracy as anyone ever trying it well knows...

Indians/Bows One question, what if the Indianans are otherwise equal ? Only part Indian myself and it doesn't seem to help. My friend Mr. K. Redhorse seems to have issues also so I'm confused. compounds forever!

Snooker rules Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. I have read the rules multile times because, "why play another version of snooker unless there is a logical and agreed upon reason to do so?" However, American snooker rules seem to differ, either due to history interpretation, or...

When I read the snooker rules found on the internet, international version, it states that a color must be nominated after a red but I do not see where the pocket must be called or that the ball must go in "cleanly" without hitting another ball provided the ball on is hit first. This seems to...

Balls on snooker table I use regular size pool balls and American snooker size (2 1/8th in numbered set) balls and regulation snooker balls on a snooker table often. They play much differently but either will definitely improve your accuracy and position play. As far as banking there are...

Tips Lots of replies already and most cue makers can do a good job, but don't hesitate to send your shafts to Muellers for work and/or retipping. Ryan does excellent work. I have had shaft work done there and 2 cues built. You will not have a problem. Rick's work is good also and I've done...

American:English snooker Check out: http://departments.weber.edu/wildcatlanes/billiards/rules/Docs_SnookerVersions-html. Basically there is a difference in penalties assessd, rail contact, free ball, angled ball and touching ball and push shots. barryc

Parris Thanks, I did check his website but and it is listed there. Shipping is pretty expensive and the demand isn't real high here in the US. When I decide to sell it, which I probably will, I'll post the pictures and specs. barryc

Would any of you snooker players out there happen to know the approximate value (U.S. dollars) of a John Parris Classic cue with a Barracuda aluminium case. It's probably 10 years old or more,and in good shape. 1/3 joint. I have a second snooker cue I use often but this one isn't being used...
