Aurora cues is based in Montreal, and the proprietor's name is Airin. He's a regular contributor on TheSnookerForum, where his handle is 'PoolQJunkie'. He makes very nice cues, but only part-time, and has no website, to my knowledge.

Given that there are comparatively few snooker players here, you may have better luck stating exactly what are you looking for. Do you want a 1-piece, 2-piece, or a 3/4? Ash or maple? UK-made or other? Price range? Including these should help. Good luck.

Gorgeous piece. I have one of Kevin's snooker cues. He makes 'em nice. Good luck with your sale.

I saw Alex playing snooker with Mike Massey and Fabio Petroni at a 9-ball tournament in Calgary several years ago, back when Great White was open. I had heard he could make centuries, but the best I saw was a 60-odd break playing against Massey. I'm sure he could make centuries if he put in...

Like Cameron said, use line up drills, and keep at it. I've never made a century, and returning from a decade-long hiatus from the game has reignited my desire to make one. See you on the practice table!

Bernie makes a nice cue. I haven't anything to trade, so a bump for you instead. Best of luck.

What a great thread! My own experience came in the form of finding a pool hall in my teens, and playing some 'old guys' in snooker. Very quickly, I realized that if pocketing the ball was not a surety, a safety was a necessity. My love affair with cue sports continued to grow, and I...

Dale, I'm going to need some further clarifications, regarding American snooker. In my experience (Like Rebound, I'm Canadian), a snooker table is a snooker table; a 'billiard table' either has no pockets or is a common misnomer for a 'pool table'. Also, in my experience, I have never...

From listening to Jerry Forsythe commentating the Turning Stone stream yesterday, the cue was made by Mike Gulyassy, and is indeed 63" long and weighs 23-24 ounces. As to the idea behind it, one can only guess.

Being very new to 14.1, I begin practice by breaking the pack from different angles to get my head into things, and then I just try to work my way through a rack. I regularly stop and re-set shots that give me trouble, but again, being new, I often overlook larger patterns during shooting, only...

Europe has a long history of producing carom cues: Germany, Italy, France, and Belgium have all been home to a number of noted cue makers, but I'm not certain what is on offer as far as quality production pool cues are concerned. It would appear that family companies or long-standing small...

Great run, John! Thanks, Dennis, for the upload.

I watched the Sky Sports stream of the final between Higgins and Williams. John played some top-flight snooker and showed no nerves in a contest where he was down several frames at one point. I'm curious how the ramifications of his fall from grace will play out in the long term, but for now...

What a gorgeous cue! Clean lines, beautifully understated, and great pictures. I wish I could... Best of luck with the sale.

Isn't Appleton a boxer as well?

These types of threads pop up on nearly every forum I've ever haunted, across a broad range of interests and topics. I would never correct grammar or punctuation issues in a quoted post, as I think that people often experiment with language, and this leads to communicating in different ways...

AK, Thank you for this, very informative.

I managed to get in 3 or 4 hours of practice on Saturday afternoon. No runs of note, but I was able to transition from being half-way through a rack to leaving myself a break ball and continuing on for a few more balls into the new rack. I had a brief moment yesterday where I could see clearly...

Cool, count me in; heading out the door momentarily. Good shooting to all!

Bump for you. I've wanted a Schon for some time, but no funds. Killer cue at a very attractive price.
