the top Pool Cues made for fighting

I bet the headline got your attention but we notice that there seems to be a lot of reporting online of assaults on people with a pool cue. We have to admit to scratching our heads here as to why people consider a pool cue a suitable choice for a weapon. Maybe its the sword like length but we recommend a pool cue is only good for one thing - PLAYING POOL... not literally knocking 2 bags of crap out of your opponent.

Jimmy White Slated for Poor Performance

Mark King took the chance of reaching the final stages of the World Snooker Championship for the 26th time away from Jimmy White in a dramatic 10-3 defeat in this years qualifying stages.

In a conference after the match played at Sheffield Jimmy White explained that his poor performance during this match was down to a cricked neck. "The injury could not have happened at a worse time," said the six-time Crucible finalist.

This is yet another defeat for Jimmy White in his recent career and is causing some papers and fans to turn on him. Saying that his star is fading fast, when in reality you cant win championships all the time. Jimmy white may be having a bad 2008 so far, but with his experience and talent he will bounce back.

Jimmy White is ranked number 75 provisionally in the worlds rankings which will see him into the main tour for next season.

Despite White's claims to have had a cricked neck, though it is said that he appeared relaxed prior the 1000hrs BST start on Monday and showed no sign of carrying an injury.

Jimmy plaid some exceptional shots during the match and took the 6th frame after potting a red from a safety to go and win 83-30. In the 10th frame Jimmy White took the frame with a score of 90 which brought a huge roar from the peoples champions fans.

He then went on to take the 11th frame bringing the scores back to 8-3.

The fans were hoping for a reminiscent reenactment of a Dennis Taylor-esque come back, but a glorious 72 break from King, the best in the match, was followed by an error strewn 13th frame which proved to be un-lucky for White. With the result settled people started to leave, streaming into the rain on the south yorkshire streets.

Get A Top Quality Ash Shaft For Your Cue

The NEW XS-SHAFT Brand - the complete all in one shaft, FEEL
THE DIFFERENCE.

Shaft technology is a significant part of a cue and we believe that the XS-SHAFT will offer you top quality and reliability where you see thre XS mark.

Here is a guide that will help you evaluate cues from any maker/retailer.
Generally, makers can aquire three grades of Ash. Lets call them grades A, B and C.

Grade A
This is the highest quality grade and all our XS-SHAFT cues use it. You should be able to see an attractive feather like effect, each feather being clearly formed. You can buy grade A ash cues from our site here.

Grade B
This is when the shaft's feather effect is not formed consistently. There is still a pleasing aesthetic look, though without that complete feather formation.

Grade C
This is the lowest possible grade of shaft, both aesthetically and - to a degree - from a performance perspective. Why? Some players use the feather to align themselves during setup of a shot. Grade C shafts have virtually no complete feather formation. Instead, there is just grainy formation with little pattern.

So what about the XS-SHAFT?

The XS-SHAFT is made of Grade A north American Ash.

Each shaft is fitted with a premium, high-quality polished brass ferrule engineered to fit precisely, as if the shaft and ferrule were one piece of ash with no ridges to spoil the cue's sleek lines.
Each joint is individually engineered to fit - as is the brass ferrule - so that it fits flush. Shaft, ferrule and joint should be as one and that's precisely what we promise with every XS-SHAFT.
Each XS-SHAFT is turned up to six times in order to provide a silk-like, smooth finish. We gaurantee no knots, lumps or bumps. Feel the difference by buying an XS shaft cue today.

Remember - if you can't see feather formation but just a grainy or wishy-washy, nondescript effect you are probably buying the lowest grade of Ash.
