Hi all... I usually go to Club XZ for snooker and lucky session too... Who else hanging out there always? Did anyone notice a young chick who pot very smooth?

hey man, so alan tan won the final rack to beat strickland eh??

i was so pissed with ESPN.. alan was leading 8-2 and suddenly they decided to show countless ads and before you knew it, blardy sportscenter malaysia was screened! and the damn show is a recorded one too.. really wanted to watch that last rack..


btw, what was strickland moaning about?? i kept hearing him complain to the ref about the table not being PRO standards.. (pockets are too big, carpet not fast enough).. i heard the other american guy complain about the pockets being the biggest he's ever seen too..

yup..but they don't use it..just endorsed..

i last heard ronnie is now using a custom handmade o'min done to the spec of his john parris..

well go look up CM1 cues or try to look for o'min basic...whats ur budget like?..a very nice and legendary cue i stumbled upon is the original cityboy..its found in 1u's snooker club and it cost around RM250..the price is nego somemore...

Yeah, alan won, but he lost the next 2 matches. I was really surprised how alan played in that match, he was real good!
I thought he will win the next match ( against petroni ) but he lost , he look tired lar , no stim
strickland was ok, i think he did control his temper in that game, compared to the match between him and Li he wen.
I didnt watch that 1, cos itz kinda late. I heard he knocked him cue shaft onto the referee head in one game!

Strickland was fun to watch, he is entertaining compared to Charlie william.
Tat burldy korean was VERY slow. I have never see such player playing tat slow. I remember Dan basavich was slow ( but he's funny lar ), tis bugger is even slower! He thinks he a real big time pro, taking his sweet time looking and getting around the table. He even wiped his shaft ( at least twice ) before each shot! I really pity him opponnet.

so , what cue do u all used?
and which is the recommended brand?

my cue picture is posted some pages back...

my place here Rm4.80 per hour for weekdays .. weekends RM6.80 ...

erm... maybe slightly lower than RM250 cuz i'm a beginner takkan use pro que right?? like starter budget Q

very cheap laa...where izzit

anyone play at 1utama?
hehe

i do once in awhile

Anyone know the procedure to service snooker cue? Mine is becoming a bit rough. Normally new cue is kinda shiny but mine lost the gloss. Feel a bit weird, cos when you aiming, the cue kinda not smooth.

that's because u don't maintain your cue...

after every play you should wipe down your cue with a dry cloth..

every week you should wipe down your cue with a slightly damp cloth then quickly buff with a dry cloth..

every month or so you should wipe down your cue with linseed oil to maintain the shine...but there are spray products now that you can spray on to clean, polish and apply an area of protector that you can buy..its around RM60 per bottle...

Haha, i only wipe it with a cloth each time before and after using.
After sometime, it sort of become greenish.

cassplayer : Then buy a "house cue" lo....

Actually I always wipe with clean dry cloth even when playing. The reason should be I don't cleanse the cue with linseed oil.
Anyway thanks for the explanation.

not only the linseed oil..

chalk deposits in the cue surfaces can cause it to lose shine too..and you'll get a tinge of green or blue on the cue...

do wipe with a slightly damp cloth...dry cloth is not enough..

so many steps to do , to take care of a CUE !
haha

even more steps to take care of my "personal cue"...ngek ngek ngek..


will be at XZ tonite..lookout for a guy in grey cap with a M logo...

I want a personal cue...but I bet I'll waste money on it. "it's too precious to use!" lol

Hey all,

I'm new to the game and I have a question on how to maintain the snooker balls. It seems that mine has lost its shine.

What should I use? A wax of somekind??

thanks
