    Looking for advice on where to get a new snooker cue in Dublin as it is badly needed =P
    Looking to spend about €100-250 on something decent enough in a 3 piece.....

    Was going to buy R O'S BCE Cue for €180 in Argos but haven't seen any review on it.....any suggestions?

    Your best bet is to head into Riley's on Marlborough Street, it's across the road from the Abbey theatre. They have a decent selection of good cues and will have one for your price bracket. I found slightly pricier than other shops around town, but you'll be guaranteed a decent cue.

    Or Brenfer jewellers on Capal St, Fergal O'Brien has a snooker section there.

    If you go into a proper snooker shop you'll be able to try the cue out. I bought mine in Rileys and spent nearly an hour trying out a load of different cues til I found one that I really liked. Bear in mind youre spending a fair bit of cash and your cue is the only piece of equipment you have in snooker so youre better off spending some time and getting one you really like

    Hi

    I have a large selection of cues that are available to buy either online at www.foul4.com/store or www.foulfour.com or from our snooker club down in Tramore, Waterford if you were willing to travel down.

    For that price you can get most Mastercue or O'Min cues along with extensions. I have around 30 in stock at present but can custom order one for you if you wanted something specific.

    There's only around 10 online at the moment but I have more in the club.

    That shop is owned by Fergals father, great shop for picking up bits but id would still say Rileys is your best option.
