Mine Maximus Heritage 3/4 snooker cue (maple) (1 Viewer)

[buffalojim]

Purchased exactly one month ago directly from Green Baize in England. I played with this cue twice. Fantastic looking and hitting cue. Looking to get exactly what I paid, and I'll even throw in a free case.

Maximus Heritage 3/4 - Maple - 9.4mm - 57" - 18.6oz - balance point ~17"
Butt Design – Front Splice Burrwood with Red Veneer

$400 + shipping (not sure what shipping costs will be but we can figure that out afterwards)

My dream home entertainment setup has a full size snooker table in it. It won't happen in this lifetime, but items like this remind me of that. GLWS.

That’s a nice cue. One of my buddies plays with a Maximus and the quality and playability is exceptional.

Indeed! The value you get for the price is exceptional.

We lived in England for two years in the early 80s. As a kid I watched a lot of darts (Lowe, Bristow) but what really hooked me was the snooker (Davis, White, etc). Awesome game.

9-ball = hold'em

8-ball = PLO

5-card stud = 14.1

7-card stud = one pocket

????? = snooker

Hmm...

So much strategy in snooker, maybe pinochle is the appropriate comparison here.

Maybe short deck?

Lol, all I know is snooker is tough, really tough.

Davis is definitely one of my favorite players to watch. O'Sullivan was such a force to witness as well. Two of the greatest to be sure. I'm decent on a 9ft pool table, can definitely hold my own, but being new to physically playing snooker, it's a whole different world. Smaller balls, much bigger table, different cue, open bridge, pockets are cut totally different. All of that for a newb equals pain, lots of pain, yet... I love it.

If I started playing, I would buy everybody drinks the first time I had a break over 20.

Funny enough, my 3rd time ever playing I ran a 59, with this cue too.

That didn't take long at all, somebody knows a good deal when they see it. This cue is pending

If you haven't seen The Hustler before, I'd highly recommend you do so.

Unfortunately the potential buyer is waffling and is now undecided. I'd consider this still available at this point.

I should mention this is also listed for sale on AZBilliards.

 

[buffalojim]

Ok, the individual came to their senses. Sold
