My goal is to improve your game and help you get more enjoyment out of the game.

There is a lot of snooker information out there nowadays on social media. Some of it is fantastic and genuinely useful. However, much of it can send players on a never-ending journey, often resulting in even more snooker coaching being needed as the focus shifts away from what matters.

As a dedicated snooker coach in Suffolk, I’ve worked with club players who just want to improve their game, to make their first 20, 30 or 40 break, and players who simply want to win more league matches. I’ve also worked with former professional players who have said they wished they had access to this snooker training earlier in their careers.

I’m proud to say I’ve even coached a world No. 1 player, too.

Looking after your cue

Regardless of the value of your cue, keeping it in good order need not cost you much at all and can make a difference to your game.

Here’s a few pointers to keep your cue in the best condition.

Day to Day Cue Care

Keep your cue in a good quality case.

If you are not using a case do not leave your cue leaning against a wall or in a corner, as this can cause it to bend. Instead, lay your cue flat or store it in a cue rack.

Avoid storing your cue and case near to a heat source e.g. near a radiator or direct sunlight as this can cause it to warp.

Do not leave your cue in a car boot, hot during the day and cold during the night, a recipe for disaster.

When playing, wipe the cue with a dry cue cloth, if the cue becomes sticky, wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth and buff dry straight away.

Do not use sand paper on the cue, this removes the protective sealer from the shaft leaving the wood exposed, this will allow the shaft to dry out and then absorb moisture. Sanding also wears away the cue shaft. Don’t do it!

Depending on the amount of snooker you play you should treat the cue with raw linseed oil. Hers how to do it:

1) Wipe cue down with a damp cloth and dry.

2) Apply oil onto cue with a cloth or paper towel, leave overnight to soak in.

Wipe off surplus oil and buff cue with cue towel until smooth and dry. The more you buff the cue, the smoother it becomes.

If you have a jointed cue occasionally clean brass faces of with very fine wire wool (00-00 grade). Dirt or grease on the faces of joint can affect the contact and sound when striking cue ball.
