Whatever these people are smoking is obviously a problem for them and sending them insane. If they aren't smoking anything maybe they should start.

OMG we all know that feeling, it's ok sh*t happens. If we all played at our absolute best all the time and the way we always wanted too, we'd all be competing agaist JA, RM & SVB. I have never personally missed a shot because I played it badly, there was always a reason. My opponent uses too...

Brian Dude you have solved the mystery I have been searching for this answer for a very long time, obviously Viking built in a very limited making balls quota on my particular cue:wink:

Have to go with Wity on this one guys! If you can get the cue made to the specs you want at that price there is absolutely no doubt in my mind you have an absolute bargain. The only thing I would add is I'd ask them to make you a small extension as well, which I am certain they would do at...

I personally believe the players are at least trying to do the right thing. IMHO unless someone gets hold of it and shakes it up big time, the sport is doomed to be, at best medicore and stay where it is and at worst to continue it's downward spiral. With so many tours, associations etc it's...

If you have $600 (well effectively $600) I would say if you can go out and try some it would be a good idea. If you have played with Lucasi for ever I see no need to change unless you feel really want too. But with that sort of money you have a lot of choices of some pretty nice cues. You could...

I would tend to agree with Pooln8r, I don't see that cues have a shelf life if you look after them properly. Don't abuse it, keep it clean and it should last a lifetime. My first snooker cue in the late 1970's was from the 1920's and is as I understand it still being played with today back in...

Book Collector for what it's worth here's my story: I started playing snooker many years ago (I was born and lived in England most of my life) to an ok standard in League and tournament play. Finally work and in all honesty boredom with snooker had me finally put my cue away about 15 years ago...

Welcome to the Forum, it's great place to pick up all types of information or just to enjoy some great posting from some interesting people. Paul

With the money you save you could stay a week on each of about 10 different Caribbean Islands!

Come on $22,500 WTF!! :shocked2: Whatever this guy is smoking must be really messing with his head and as Johnnyt mentions local pick up, meet me at so and so, not a freaking chance dude! You deliver it here to my local coffee house, next door to the Police Precint and I'll give you $500.

If he got picked I'm sure he'd do the flying thing, if not as johnny says he needs to think about leaving as soon as the names are announced, it's a long, wet walk or a trip on the QE2.

Hope you can use this, it's simple straightforward and would look great on the butt of a cue.

Just read that the European Team has named their first player and that is Karl Boyes.

Johnny That must be my problem, lack of cash, no hold on, it could be that I am not quite good enough :( But in all seriousness you are right, trips to Europe, the Middle East, the Phillipines etc sometimes several times a year are very expensive. Most who travel there do not come away with...

Chris Just go out and have a fantastic US Open man and you never know. If you happen to win it, you will probably appear in the Fan Vote. I have already asked Matchroom if they'd consider dropping a pick if an American player won the US Open and wasn't already auto qualified. If you do make it...

Johnny whilst I might agree with you on that, I would not want that pick to then fall back to Matchroom, maybe they could take the top 3 from the BCA Rankings. Mind you I can see the toher side of the argument coming already, last year's choice was Dennis Hatch and he turned out to be MVP!

Smooth Operator I would say minimum brushing is once or twice a week, you will find once a day becomes a chore. I also have a spare piece of the cloth from when they fitted my new cloth, t's a pretty large piece they left me, after brushing I always go over with this and it comes up a treat...

I think there are several things that I would suggest: 1. Teach them the fundamentals, cueing, bridge etc try to install good basics from the start. If you have too get them a box or crate to stand on. 2. Let them play when they want, obviously within reason, do not pressure them to play. If...

I would travel to every exhibition, tournament or cue maker until I found the cue that felt right then buy it. I wouldn't care if it cost $100 or $5,000 if I felt it was the right cue. At the moment I still play with my Viking G27 even with those Customs sitting at home, it just feels the best...
