Thanks guys. It seems like Greg Savoie favours a Jerico too, despite rating Schmelkes very highly. I think I'll email Greg back about getting a Jerico. I'm leaning that way myself and the price difference is pretty negligible. I'll still go with a Kamui tip though. Wow, there we go. Hopefully...

A lot of folks here seem to really like Diveney sneakys. They are still a little bit too much for me though (I'd imagine that a non Diveney shaft would completely change the feel of the ebay cue?). The only other cue that is making me think now is the Jerico sneaky I mentioned earlier. Greg...

Thanks for the heads-up garczar, looks like justinb386 shares your opinion. Sounds right to me, so I'll go with that. And thanks about the tip choice too. It seems like a good opportunity to try a high-class tip that's been fitted professionally, not many places in the UK seem to offer that for...

Wow, thanks for all the input folks, I really appreciate it :smile: Thanks justinb386 for all the cues you posted links to, I appreciate it :thumbup: I think I'm gonna go with a Schmelke sneaky. Their R052 redheart 4-prong model looks exactly like some of the house cues at my local club and...

After having a bit of a think about it actually, I think I'd be much better off with a sneaky pete style for now. I think I'd probably be too self conscious if I had a visibly nice cue. Maybe I can get a nicer/prettier one once I can string a few racks together, haha ;) I also think that if I...

Thought I'd better bump this up again

Thanks for all your replies folks :) I hadn't seen that sight before Grantstew, thanks for the heads up. He's definitely got some more interesting stock than nearly all the UK stores. The only thing really catching my eye though is the one that justinb386 mentioned. Those Mezz are pretty...

Hi smashmouth, so would the general opinion be that a Players, HXT, or Schmelke would be a better overall cue than the G-series McDermott? I imagine that getting a cue from a bonefide US pool shop would be advantageous for tip choice, etc. There are more options when ordering from a US pool...

Hey folks. :thumbup: I’ve been playing pool and snooker for a little while now. I started on snooker, which is a game that I love to watch and have done ever since I can remember. I now play a lot more pool, mostly straight pool and I enjoy playing pool a lot more than snooker now and my pool...

Hi folks, my name is Darren :) I've just bought a nice new 1pc cue and I want to make sure it's protected well, but without breaking the bank. I've noticed that the Cue-Craft plain aluminium cases seem to be quite highly thought of, at a cost of about £90-95 shipped. Peradon seem to sell a very...
