whenever ur back give me a pm bro...will try my best to bring you around..

around RM300 you can go for an O'Min Millenium or Basic..a good starting point..but as soon as your game steps up you'll start to feel like changing a cue..you can try looking for the legendary CityBoy cue..not the one made by CM1 but just plain CityBoy...

I started off with a CityBoy like 6-7 years back then sold it off 2 years later then moved to to an O'Min one piece last year when I picked up snooker again and now I'm using a JP classic...

I just paid a visit to Cue Station at BTS yesterday and the guy there introduced me with O'Min's Millennium + Aluminum Casing for RM350. Well, it is quite attractive for me. The cue priced at RM250 while the case at RM150, he said he would make it a package with some discount for me if I'm taking both at the price of RM350. The O'Min Perfect which u recommended earlier cost RM850, which a bit way too high than what I'm expecting sweat.gif.

Anyway, I'm still learning more about snooker cues and when I get everything right about it, I'll be investing for my 1st snooker cue smile.gif. So at the moment, still taking some times learning, reading and looking around biggrin.gif

What do u think about the deal anyway? Value buy? hmm.gif

there are more actually about the anatomy of a snooker/pool/carom cue example joints, tip, ferrule, tapper and so much more but hey im just lazy to mention. my advise is get a cue quick actaully 300 is ok ordy lar if u just started snooker cue tend to be more cheaper den pool cues and carom cues i dunno why is that.

read more is good but remember spend more time at the table is better haha, get someone to teach u lar u will improve more, n watch more videos of the pro playing, not only snooker, watch carom and  pool also, i gurantee u will learn more by doing so.
about the accuracy just do what i have say in other replies noe the angles comfetable stance and commitment in ur stroke, if u feel that pausing the stroke is good 4 ur not only ur potting skills and u must consider ur cue ball control n spins. then u will be laughing mate.

PM me if u can come to KL lets play english billiards lol is fun and it plays on a snooker table.

Alrite bro, I just left KL this evening and probably my in my next trip, I'll try sneak out some time to look for u guys. Eh, dun pawn noob please tongue.gif

Hmm... I still no idea about the common or normal market price for snooker cues, not even knowing any other shops other than Cue Station which I can visit to check the snooker cues out sweat.gif. If Cue Station selling price is way overpriced, then where should I visit and look for snooker cues? Any good recommendation? unsure.gif

Yesterday I went for snooker again with frenz and I'm having difficulty and problem finding the right grip for myself sweat.gif. All the while I used to grip at the end of the cue which my thumb will sort of resting on the flat side at the end of the cue and my last finger will rest at the butt. I tried somehow to change my grip to those mentioned in books or how other people gripping it, which is a few inches from the butt or before the flat side at the end of the cue. I'm struggling on how to grip my cue... probably confused of myself doh.gif.

Another thing is I have no idea how far the bridge should be placed from the cue ball? Usually I place very near, like 1.5 palms away... but other people are playing like 2 palms and above...

I know these might be personal preferences and stay with ones that comfortable to ourselves. Wonder any tips and guides for this? smile.gif

personally, i feel Riley cues are just alright...

try looking around for o'min or john parris and there are still alot of other handmade UK branded cues we don't have it here like BCE which is very hard to find here...

Master Cue from Thailand is pretty good too..or if you really wanna go all the way..go to Bangkok and look for O himself and get a custom handmade O'min Climax with a black metal box for less than RM1k

the riley cue which attracts me is the RIL-850 , but not sure how long is appears on the market .... and i think i did not see it at Cue Station @ BTS.

for BCE , i think most of the cue are endorsed by famous snooker player like Marco Fu , Ronnie O'Sullivan , and bla bla bla ..... hehe ... i duwan signature on the cue ... lol but no one in malaysia carries the cue also ler

Itz a pity Alan Tan lost in his last match. It was a close 1.
But he got a consolation prize, he won his 1st tv match against strickland. Good job. Prickland, was as usual with his antics and arogance.
But I still like watching him instead of stupid charlie william.
I hope to see more plays from alan next year.

ESPN WAS STUPID!. They should have show the last rack between strickland and alan, but the showed like 5~6 ads to waste several minutes and make way for sportcenter malaysia.

Cmon, the news in sportscenter are yesterdays news which we all can get in the internet or papers! They have the 730PM edition, so y have to have 2 same shows?
