+1 for Trevor White and Mike Wooldridge (handmadecues.com). Both based in the UK. I have one custom cue from each of them -- top quality. Other names: Dave Coutts Stamford Jason Owen Andy Travis Hope that helps. /G

See this: http://s1182.photobucket.com/user/Bungda1/library/?sort=3&page=1 There's definitely a Parris feel to these cues...

When I saw the topic I was hoping you'd post a video of you shooting a 147 with your eyes closed. ;-)

Alan -- thanks for this. Did someone stream or record any of the matches? If so where is it available? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks for your response. In that case I'd be tempted to slowly scrape it off with the scalpel. No offense to cue repair guys, they do crucial work for most pool players, as they did for me when I was playing pool, but I'd still prefer to do it myself for this snooker cue.

No, it is not brass. It's Wooldridge's "black ferrule" system. Slightly more involved than a usual ferrule (it has a core that's integrated inside the shaft). Unclear what the material really is but it's feels like some sort of very, very dense/hard plastic-rubber ish (but nothing like the...

Subject says it all. I hope I'm not trying to over engineer this, and perhaps I am being paranoid, it's just that I have this custom made snooker cue from the UK onto which I fitted a Kamui Black Clear Medium (using Loctite Super Gel) a few months back. Love that tip (was using regular Kamui...

Same here ;-)

Draw sheet: http://www.snookerusa.com/news/201305250523-national-championship-group-draws-announced Stream is currently on Table 1 -- defending champion Sargon Isaac is up 1-0 against his opponent (apologies I believe it is Jason Orlando from Florida). Best of 3 matches. Indeed very nice...

Currently there are only two places I am aware of: [1] Billiards Cafe, Ayer, MA: one 6x12 table [2] Break-Away Billiards, Clinton, MA: one 6x12 table Rumor has it that Amazin Billiards in Malden, MA is going to set up a 6x12 table too in the near future. There is a ladder organized in Ayer...

The times listed on livesport.tv are not match times but broadcast start times. They start broadcasting at the time indicated for each table, and they will keep broadcasting until all matches scheduled to be played on that table are completed. For the UK championships you do have all matches, on...

Right. What if he won the tournament? "I really enjoy travelling to Australia. It's such a great country. Great fans, great support. Looking forward to defending the title next year."
