Thanks Rob
I like to play snooker every now and again
Need a new case as well me thinks, my cue currently breaks in half so would need a 3/4 length case as most seem to break at 3/4

You can get a 2 piece snooker cue with a small extension plus a butt section that u can add to the tip piece and you have a pool cue.
Hope that makes sense, its what i have, effectively a 4 piece cue, Chedder Classic i think it is

I play snooker a lot I've got a 3 piece Riley cue, got it out of Argos £45 it's a quality cue had it about 4 years now still perfectly straight, what's ya highest break anyway rob?
Riley's are ok, its like any sport, having expensive equipment doesnt automatically make u a good player 
Highest break in Snooker is only 32 but that was 4 reds followed by 4 blacks so nice cue ball control

Trying to learn to place the cue ball properly now, and getting side spin on it as well I got the cheap one off ebay as the ones at the clubs are always crap but wanted something to see if I wanted to carry on, even though I have a pool table at home

I've played in leagues for 6 years and all the time have used a 30 quid sportsworld 3 piece cue with extension and case. When u get a cue get the tip off straight off and put a blue diamond one, 10mm is my preference, and some triangle chalk. Then you are setup for life if you look after you cue.
