Mark Richard 3/4 Piece 57 Inches 60 Inches Handmade Snooker Cue Kit - Aluminium - Leather Case - Ash Shaft

This is a heavier cue than I've been used to but it's got great power and draw. The shaft is bullet straight and the tip, while small, is good enough to play with. The ash shaft is less smooth than I would like but I think I can polish it smoother. I've put away my old light cue (a Riley made in England) and I'm playing exclusively with this new cue and enjoying it.It worth mentioning the case and attachments. The case is excellent. Very good quality construction with three clasps to secure it. The two attachments give the player the ability to lengthen the cue for those awkward shots or to use with a rest if needed.Overall a very nice cue, case and accessories and excellent value for money.

I have a higher end cue, this is a 2nd cue, and I can say this cue is well made and feels good. The 3/4 air joint is very nice, extensions are solid and well made, the case is also very nice but it could be a little wider as the longer part of the cue doesn't fit flush down in it's slot, but that's fine. There are a few slightly rougher areas on the cue where the finish sanding could have been a little more thorough, but for the most part it feels smooth and nice, and play isn't affected. I weighed the cue and mine is about 18.3 oz (which I'm very happy with this weight), and it feels well balanced. To me the cue has nice feel, even with the original tip that came on it, after a little shaping. I'm very happy with this purchase and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cue to any player even at an intermediate level and maybe slightly above. It would be nice if this cue also came in a 58", and a further bonus if the range for weight was a bit more narrow as opposed to 18-19.5 oz. because that is quite a big range, as every half oz. is quite noticeable at least for myself. However, I understand to be able to supply cues at this price it's probably not possible.

I’ve had this cue for over a year and still performs great. Compared to other cues I had to replace the tip with a better one.As for the wood shaft. I don’t notice any warping. I play snooker 2 nights every month, and always keep my cue in a dry place and never leave in my truck. I don’t know if this info is benefit or not but I had bought cues before which warped after couple of uses

Me and a buddy got the same cue, and we could not be happier. Comes with a case, 2 extensions, and a great feeling cue with a tip that looks fitted, rounded, and sanded down right out of the box, ready to play. I have zero complaints, this is an excellent starter level Snooker cue. If you want something a little higher quality, go with one of the cues from Ultimate Pool, Peradon or Paris cues, but this works great for beginners or as a practice cue.

It bent after three uses.

I lived in London for a few years and had been playing pool for many. So I bought a great snooker cue for much money, played at the local club and became a decent player. But when I came back home I had to leave my cue in London because it was a 1 piece and I couldn't take it on the plane and so I gave it to a friend.Fast forward to today. One year in quarantine and watching lots of snooker gave me the itch to find a place to play and to get a new cue. I bought a Mark Richard stick and didn't expect much. But boy was I wrong. This is as good a cue as the one I had in London. A straight piece of hickory with the chevrons pointing in the perfect direction, great balance, a usable tip, low deflection and it was $100 with a case and extensions!).Yes, it's made in China. So what? They are crazy for snooker, have a dynasty building and many Chinese are taking up the game. You can't make a crappy cue in China and survive. as a cue maker.I love this cue. It was going to be a second to a Parris if got into it again. But I don't need a Parris anymore. Love this cue.

What they said in the discription of the Cue. It's not that perfect. Tip is not perfect, Cue is not smouth, weight is not right. It's normal Cue . It's not worth the price. I am not happy with product.

I am 99% satisfied with this cue, it has extension , easy to lock and out, nice smooth finish. SHOOT straight. Definitely recommended for a level up than beginner.Case is fancy looking, everything seems good. It came with a little metal spot on ferrule which keep on catching my attention and hence I said 99%
