THE BOOK
CARING FOR
YOUR CUE
OF CUES
Much care is taken in making each
Hand Crafted PowerGlide Cue.
To maintain the cue in its original
condition we recommend users follow
this simple advice.
DON’TS
Don’t - Expose to extremes of temperature.
Avoid: Direct Sunlight - Open Fires Radiators - Warm Air Outlets - Prolonged
Spells in Car Boots/Car Interiors.
Don’t - Expose to Damp - Keep in a dry
atmosphere and even temperature.
Don’t - Overtighten the joint.
Don’t - Bang or even tap the cue on the
butt end.
Don’t - Ever lean cue against a wall.
Don’t - Roll on a table top to check
straightness. If you wish to check straightness
place the butt on the floor, gently support
the cue near the tip and sight along the cue
from the tip to the butt.
DO’S

designed PowerGlide cue case.

MBE
John Parrott has become one of snooker’s most instantly
recognisable faces and has done much to popularise the
sport both on and off the table.
John has won tournaments in nine different countries
and has been ever-present at the Embassy World
Professional Championships since 1984. He has reached
eight quarter-finals, one semi-final and two finals,
beating Jimmy White 18-11 in the 1991 final to win
snooker’s greatest prize. He added the UK Championship
for good measure later that year and is one of only
five players – Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry, John Higgins
and Ronnie O’Sullivan are the others – to have held both
titles in the same year.
World Tournament victories:
Embassy World Championship 1991
European Open 1989, 1990, 1996
UK Championship 1991
Bournemouth International 1994
Dubai Duty Free Classic 1991, 1992

TIP
Multi layered pigskin tips enhance
your games performance by providing
better grip, more control and less
deflection. Constructed from thin
layers of high quality pigskin the
multiple layers are bonded together
allowing the tip to maintain its
shape for longer and reducing the
‘mushroom effect’. Pigskin tips are
able to hold more chalk, so less force
is required when playing spin shots,
resulting in more consistent play and
less deflection. (Pearl and Bullet only).

More power, less effort. less deflection.
Reducing the grain direction in the
shaft allows for less deflection making
it easier to pot balls and line up
following shots. The three layer
lamination provides more power
whilst requiring minimal effort and
the unique design of the shaft
reduces warping. (Bullet only).
