Previous Cases

J&J C24H (2 Butts 4 Shafts)

This is one of the cases I really liked, sold it off to a fellow PFer.. It has black crocodile prints on the exterior with a matching shoulder strap.. Fancy this case cuz it has a top and side handle compared to my previous cases, I can carry it instead of slinging it over my shoulders when they get tired.. Right, this case is a bit heavy though.. Never carried an Instroke before, but heard Instrokes are pretty heavy, dunno how this cue match up to the weight of an Instroke..

This is one case I really like because it's affordable, does the job of protecting my cues well, and the compartments are more than large enough to store all my accessories..












Brandless Hard Case (2 Butts 2 Shafts)

This is my first multiple cue case.. It's a lightweight black case bought from someone in yahoo! Auctions.. Think he acquired it from Mambo Billiards. Anyways, it has 2 compartments large enough to store all your items from your chalks, cloth to your gloves etc. Pretty lightweight case, doesn't put a strain on your shoulders, but not sure whether it protects your cues from constant travelling with the case..

Sold it away to a nice guy from PF after getting my J&J C24H.. He uses it to store his spare cues now..






J&J C11G (1 Butt 1 Shaft)

Bought this case together with my Viking F90, it's triangular which doesn't feel right for me when slinged.. Provides quite a good protection, lightweight, and doesn't look too bad compared to some other 1 cue case..

Sold it off to a good friend of mine after getting my Fury Jump-Break..

Previous Cues

Playing Cue - Mezz EC-J with Hybrid Pro II Shaft

This is my first Mezz Cue, it's the start of my love for Mezz Cues. Wanted to get a purpleheart EC-P from another fanatic, but it came with the standard Professional UJ Shaft instead of the Hybrid Pro II shaft, so I got this instead. This cue has a firm and stiff hit comparable to SS Joints. The cue has a lot lesser deflection on the cueball compared to my previous Viking shaft..

The Hybrid Pro II shaft is made from the marrying of carbon fibre and hard maple, resulting in a shaft 30% stronger than conventional shafts without sacrificing the flexibility of the shaft.. Miki's United joint system fits the two cue parts with unparalleled quality control standards. The perfect adherence between male and female parts enhances energy transfer and distributes that energy equally even on off center hits.

Jump Break Cue - Fury Jump Break JB-BS

This was my very first piece of jump break cue.. Got it off a friend around January.. It is a 3 piece classy looking cue with a nice leather wrap at the butt sleeve area..

One of the selling point of this cue is its super hard and solid hit.. The cue is something of a copy of the Sledgehammer..

Would definitely reommend this cue to anyone who has a liking for very hard hitting cue with lotsa brute power.. It almost feels like you're gonna break the cue ball when you're hitting it.. Plus, it gas a nice leather wrap, you can't get a cue with leather wrap at such an affordable price!

The selling point of this cue is the phenolic combo tip+ferrule, but was also the reason why I didn't like it.. Guess it's just a personal preferance.. It feels too hard for my liking, but then it does give a good break, nice and solid..

Traded this for a Mezz ZZ-BK or better known as Mezz PB1(Power Break 1) around end March 2007..

Playing Cue - Viking F90


Fell in love with the sleek black design and the smoke colored pearl design on the butt sleeve. Officially, this is the first cue that I regularly play with. Would rate this as a medium hitting cue.. A middle balanced cue, one that I would recommend for beginners because it is a good quality piece of cue..


Vikings are also known for their customisation. Getting customers' specifications then getting the cue to you in breathtaking time is one winning factor of Viking.. I did not get my cue customised though, got it from Adrian at Cue Factor.. The original wrap was black linen with white specks..

Viking cues are made in America and are known in the industry for their quality construction. One thing I found out about Viking cues are that the three sections of the butt (butt, wrap area and forearm) are joined together not by dowels but by an interlocking dovetail or 'fingers' system which makes the cue feel very true and enhances feedback.

Anyways, I sold it to a fellow fanatic in mid March 2007.. Kindda sentimental..But this cue had served me well..

Playing Cue - DC

This is very first cue. Bought it from TPY Snooker Zone.. Like the hit on this one.. Don't know much about this cue, as the brand aint very established.. Guess I've played with this cue for maybe less than 10 times.. One thing I didn't like was the decals on the cue.. Sold it away to another fanatic, he was kindda amazed cuz it was in a very good condition, plus it's going at such a good price..
