	Cues n Views - Interview with Dominic Dale
		The cue was in excellent condition, full length with an 11 millimetre tip, it was made, as you know by Burroughes and Watts between 1923 and 1925 when Tom Newman made his 1370, the largest ever competitive break made with Ivory billiard balls.
		His dedication was almost total to his sport, in fact he shaped the destiny of the sport itself.
		Discounting the cues that I have already mentioned, I used to have a lovely pearwood shafted J P Mannock cue, it was stamped at 15½ ounces.

	Guardian Unlimited Sport \| Columnists \| Cue rich applause for the modest and reticent Essex man
		The sight of an old champion in pursuit of one last tilt at glory is always a stirring one, and the 48-year-old Steve Davis had the nation in the palm of his hand as he confronted the teenager Ding Jun Hui in the final of snooker's UK Championship on Sunday.
		Barely a flicker crossed his features as one honour after another fell to his cue; when Higgins finally won the world title, by contrast, the Northern Irishman expressed his joy through a curtain of tears while cuddling his young daughter for the television cameras.
		And revamping the format of the Sports Personality of the Year show can only be hastened by Barker's own explanation of her coarse and widely criticised reference to Gavin Henson and Charlotte Church, at first partially excused on the grounds that it was believed to have been unscripted.

	American Pool Network - Buying your first Cue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		I agree that most people will purchase a pool cue first of all because of its aesthetic appeal but you don’t have to be a pool cue maker to realise that aesthetics do not reflect the playability of a cue.
		When buying a pool cue for the first time it is important to try and get the right feel as if you just buy the first pool cue that you come across then you could be spending hard earned cash on an instrument that you are not happy with in the long run.
		When ordering a cue make sure that it is the correct weight for you, not only should it be comfortable, but also having the wrong weight can make a huge difference to the feel of the cue.

	The Masters Clinic - Tom Ross - Review of expert Pool and Billiard Instruction at the Masters Clinic
		In fact, if we have an unseen movement that takes the cue off line, what Tom calls a glitch in the stroke, we face the likelihood of reinforcing that glitch by repeating it in practice where we are unaware of it.
		If it is not, move your hand along the cue's butt until it is. With the tip two inches from the cue ball and your forearm perpendicular to the floor you are holding the cue in the correct place.
		This is not a big “wristy” motion but a natural, small hand movement that finishes the stroke with the tip going through the cue ball, a movement that proceeds from a relaxed and neutral shooting hand and wrist.
