I have made snooker cues for some very good players and can also make one for
you. Just give me the exact specification you like and how fancy you want it
and I will give you a price. However, I make all snooker cues to order and it
takes from 4-6 weeks. Check out my web site at: www.pechauer.com Please email
to: jpec...@dct.com

Please tell me more about your snooker cues. Weight, tip, ferrule, taper,
joint, etc. E-mail is fine if the ad police are a concern. Thanks.

Checked out your website - all I can see are pool cues. What snooker cues do
you have? Are they Dufferins, Falcons, what? I was under the impression that
Falcon shipped all their snooker cue-making equipment and inventory to China
about 6 months ago and are no longer in the snooker cue business.
True/False/Indifferent? TIA for your response.

I don't know of any US source for snooker cues. I recall that a few of the
major cuemaking companies had a "snooker shaft" option available but I would
caution against going that route. The shafts are basically turned-down
versions of their maple pool shafts and are whippy and the cue feels
unbalanced overall. You'll want a proper snooker cue with an ash shaft, 10
or 11mm ferrule and tip, a snooker taper, balanced for approx. 17.5 oz.
overall and with the characteristic small diameter butt with flat. IMO, the
Canadian Dufferin Silver Anniversary fits the bill nicely. It's a very
attractive cue with all the fundamentals except the tip is only available in
11mm with a fiber ferrule. You can get in touch with a Canadian distributor
and can probably get the cue for around $100US. Good luck.

I've use maple snooker shafts at 10.5mm. I didn't think they were all
that whippy. Don't forget that snooker balls are lighter than pool
balls and you don't tend to hit them as hard. To me (but admittedly
not to most snooker professionals), ash often feels too stiff.

As well as other Dufferin cues sold in Canada (some of which have
maple shafts). Also, most house cues in Canadian snooker rooms are
maple.

I sense that you're a maple fan<g>! You are certainly correct that most
snooker house cues are maple (cost factor) and it remains the fact that many
snooker tournaments in the past were played and won using maple shafts. That
said, ash is currently the one and only choice for serious snooker players.
The "stiffness" you refer to is a necessary evil essential to maximum
potting accuracy though it does come at the expense of easily imparted cue
ball spins. The first ash cue I tried I sold within two weeks and joyfully
went back to my maple (both Dufferins by the way). I simply could not get
used to the jolt the ash gave me at impact. About six months later (and no
improvement at the game) after watching a bunch of snooker pro tapes and
talking with some Canadian pros, I tried an ash shaft again. It took almost
2 months of misery before I got used to the stick. I'll never go back to
maple. My control and accuracy are on a completely different level than when
I was "mapling". I suggest if you're serious about snooker you should give
an ash cue the extended tryout it requires. In the end, you'll discover the
same benefits the pros have (a pretty good guide to what's what). Good luck
and let me know how it goes.

I guess I've only made it half way through your story: noticing that
all snooker pros use ash cues, I borrowed a friend's ash snooker cue.
I guess I didn't play long enough to get past that jolt on impact and
find out if it could improve my game.
Since I am currently in NJ with no convenient snooker tables (and
never was all that good in the first place), I had decided not to
worry about getting an ash snooker cue right now (the twice-yearly
trip to Vancouver wasn't enough motivation). Now that you're
trying to talk me into trying ash again, I'll have to re-read
this thread...

times but keep misspelling your last name. I think I got the spelling, but
is it pronounced "Petch-hour"? Sincerely, Sam

The correct pronunciation is; PetChower but most people say PeachHour.

Wow! Really. My friend has a PeachHour. Or at least that's what it was
until a few seconds ago. I wonder how he'll feel now that he's got a
PetChower. Cool Beans. Do you think the value of his cue just went up or
down?

What I want to know is would it be OK if we changed it to PetShower?
That's really very close, and it would be a lot easier to remember...
