no one playing billard this week?

[Throttle]

anyone knows where i can buy a billiard cue at a good price?

 

I play number ball with my colleagues once in a while and i thought it's a good idea to get my own cue and throw it in the car so that i never have to use house cue again.

 

budget $100.

Im no pool/billard expert, but my dad was ex-national player so i also play the game and i have some knowledge too, so im not bullshitting here.

 

A 2-piece cue is generally less straight than a 1-piece. (dunno why dont ask me my dad said so).

 

for $100 if u wanna get a cue better than a house cue you should get a 2nd-hand one....can try the shops at Park Lane lor.....usually house cues cost around $60...so u can compare the quality.

 

My dad's "practice cue" is a 2-piece and it cost $300 already. His "killer" tournament cue costs a cool $700.

 

luckily im not as obsessed as he is...i just play for fun....wat an expensive game!!!

[weiz85]

well still got his genes mah... so u are a pro too hehe

 

well anyone one to organise a billard session next week?

he did teach me but i still suck

 

for screw-ball not just aim at bottom of hand-ball, the cue must be parallel to the table, after contact must immediately pull back or else considered "pushing".

 

anyway this is just talk only, must practise for hours man
