CUESOUL Classic Handmade 57 Rosewood 3/4 Piece Snooker Cue with Black Cue Case and Aluminum Telescope Extension

I used to play snooker quite a lot and my enthusiasm for the game has been re-ignited by my 19 year old son who sees his ageing dad as the ideal person to match himself up against and therefore we visit a local club 2/3 times a week in order for him to try to beat me. He has better eyesight and and coordination. I have guile, a sense of presence and a knowledge of how to use the cue ball sufficient for him rarely to beat me. Yes he can pot balls, but he has yet to develop the skills of a seasoned player. It is that regard that this cue is ideal for someone like me, returning to snooker after a few years away, but requiring a reasonably priced cue, case and accessories to enable me to compete with anyone at our club.+. The case is well made, lined and covered in synthetic materials and secured by three clasps. We always travel to our club by car and therefore it is great for me to carry short distances and to store in a dry, warm room when we return home. I never leave it at the club as the case lacks a lock point.+. The cue and tip are of reasonable quality with a brass ferrule. I have re-shaped the tip a little bit as a like a slightly narrower tip; it doesn't make me play any better, I just feel more comfortable with it. I expect that the tip should last for a few months at 6-8 frames a week. It certainly holds the chalk well and retains its shape. The cue itself is similarly well made, should keep reasonably straight if stored in the right conditions, moves smoothly through my bridge and most importantly is well balanced. Assembling the cue is easy, just screw the two pieces together via the brass connector; I never used a 2 piece cue before, but for my level and standards it is fine. I do like the build quality and would suggest that it represents very good value at this price-point and is as good as one that I tested costing three times as much.+. The accessories of two cue extensions are really good. In my hey day knocking in 50-70 breaks, how I would have loved to have these rather than extracting the assortment of paraphernalia from the long side of the table. I have used both extensions, particularly the short wooden one and am happy to say they not only fit the base of the cue well, the short extension in particular is really good and does not adversely effect the balance using a normal rest or hand bridge.No longer capable of those 50+ breaks, I am still capable of recording breaks of 20-30, albeit not as regularly as I would hope and therefore, if you are a player like me, who can still give any club player a reasonable game, this cue might be ideal for you. I really like it and I am so pleased to have a nice cue: it does make all the difference.

Ordered this one to replace the one I bought in December 2018 which the shaft at the tip end also went out of shape. I liked the cue and all the accessories lovely feel but paying good money for a bent cue ! Not sure what is going wrong whether non seasoned wood was used. This one arrived already bowed at the tip end so returned straight away.

For the price, its a very good cue.Great balance to it.It comes with a pigskin tip, which I actually prefer as I feel it holds chalk better and lasts longer than an elk master tip.The cue is not varnished which is great.Only thing I would say is that you might want to use some wood stain to bring out the grain of the ash, if you like a dark grain like me :)

Very pleased with the quality of the whole package. The cue is straight, weighs 19oz but the weigh is evenly balance across the cue, my old cue has most of its weight in the butt, a nice cue to use. Noted comments on the tip, which is pigskin and looks like rubber. I gave the tip a go with 40 grit paper before use and it feels just right to me.

Arrived well-packaged and ahead of time.Bought for husband.He says..."Cue looks great and the grain arrows line up perfectly to the cue tip. ( Handy aiming aid )A nice weight at 18oz and perfectly straight.No varnish to be removed.Suggest that tip be changed.A nice looking cue case that is cushioned inside to protect the cue and accessories and still room for chalk/ cue tip shaper.Highly recommended."

I bought this cue to help with my game. However when it arrived it was bent near the tip, I thought that I could play round this, but apart from that, the cue is like a stick to use. I realise that I am not a very good player but I do play twice a week. I cannot get hardly any backspin when using the cue, it just feels dead. I have given it a good go for quite a few months and am relegating it to the back of the cupboard.On the plus side, the extensions and the case are all good.

Very good quality, the pieces fit into each other perfectly, the tip seems to be from a very hard leather though! ( hopefully it's not some kind of rubber but will see that in the future), the chalk doesn't stick to it very well even after giving it the round shape with some pro tools.Overall I am very satisfied with the product and I recommend it!

won a doubles final on first use so very happy. needed to re tip but to be fair 99% of players use there own tips anyway so no biggy. great balance and a lovely cue to use. replacment for my stolen cue which was 5 times more expensive, cant tell the difference. lovely cue
