SNOOKER RANGE FEATURES

PowerGlide® Professional 2011 sees a brand new Professional range, featuring beautifully crafted cues, using exquisite exotic wood with intricate natural patterns and colour coordinated inlays set against hand spliced Black Ebony, enhancing the balance and enriching the appearance of the cue.

Each cue is made from a single piece of mature top quality Ash selected for its uniformly spaced straight grain, strength, weight and the desired degree of rigidity to provide perfect power at the cue tip. At the joint the Ash shaft and butt both seamlessly match using the unique design of the brass faced stainless steel quick release joint that smoothly and securely locks the pieces in place.

The cue is turned and fi nished through a series of complex operations, each executed with great skill and meticulous care.

PowerGlide® Tournament The new Tournament range is the product of leading edge technology, blended with traditional cue making skills and the highest quality materials. Using the fi nest Ebony and Rosewood, these machine spliced and hand fi nished cues offer very affordable luxury combined with fi rst class performance.

A single piece of mature top quality Ash is selected for its uniformly spaced straight grain, strength and weight to provide perfect power at the cue tip. At the joint the Ash shaft and butt both seamlessly match using the unique design of the brass faced stainless steel quick release joint that smoothly and securely locks the pieces in place.

The detail and the fi nishing make PowerGlide Tournament cues the fi rst choice of any discerning player with an eye for value.

PowerGlide® ClassicThere’s more choice and more variety with the 2011 Classic Snooker range, there’s a choice of 1 or 2 piece snooker cues, 2 piece 48” cues and cue sets. With an array of exciting contemporary designs at an affordable price to suit every pocket, you’ll be hard pressed to fi nd a stronger range. All this comes with the latest manufacturing technology and quality materials to deliver a balance of strength and power.

The 2011 PowerGlide range is the most exciting yet, with major improvements across the whole range. Introducing new exotic woods, better materials, new construction methods using the latest manufacturing technologies, better specifi cations, stunning new designs with more choice, more variations and more accessories too. All of this comes with competitive pricing and exciting offers.

We are proud to welcome you to the PowerGlide 2011 collection.

A selected range of PowerGlide cues are available in two piece or three-quarter split as shown.

Two piece cues split into two equal halves for ease of carrying. The three-quarter split moves the joint towards the butt, out of the player’s line of sight.

PowerGlide cues are available in Professional, Tournament and Classic ranges. Some of the descriptions of a cue may not fi t within the overall range description, where this occurs, the description of the cue in the information text will highlight any deviation from the overall range description.

Two Piece or Three Quarter?

Matching straight grains with clear feathering helps players line up

their shots

Quick Release Joint The PowerGlide quick

release joint is a precision engineered brass faced joint with a taper fi t stainless steel bayonet that

smoothly locates the 2 parts of the cue

together. A minimal amount of turn then locks the joint into a perfect positive

closure.

Perfect grain alignment on either

side of the joint

CUE CARE

CARING FOR YOUR CUE

Much care is taken in making each

PowerGlide Cue, and to ensure you

get the best use from your cue, and

to maintain the cue in its original

condition, we recommend you follow

this simple advice.

Don’t’s

• Don’t – Expose to extremes of temperatures Avoid: Direct Sunlight – Open Fires – Radiators – Warm Air Outlets – Prolonged Spells in Car Boots/Car Interiors

• Don’t – Over tighten 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 table top to check straightness. If you wish to check straightness place the butt on the fl oor, gently support the cue near the tip and sight along the cue from the tip to the butt.

Do’s

• Do – Store Flat – for preference in a specially designed PowerGlide cue case

• Do – Keep your cue clean and well maintained

• Do – Follow these simple suggestions and your PowerGlide cue will give years of enjoyment
