Jimmy White Whirlwind Refurbished Snooker Cue Review

How smooth was that cue Time for a review Hello guys I'm Dave Gilbert and you're watching The Snooker Show Thanks Dave So straight into the video And just before Christmas I got some work done on my cue What did I get done A new tip Titanium fiddle and a refurb on the shaft itself Has it made me play better Unfortunately no I'm still not on TV but it certainly is a nicer piece of kit to use now Let's take a quick look at this So obviously this wasn't the first cue I had This was the very first cue I had And I used to play pool with this when I was a young teen And you can clearly see I needed a new one I couldn't use a straight cue without having a cue that was straight So then I looked up to get a cue And I came across Jimmy White's company Whirlwind And I looked at his website and spoke to his manager Mark And we had a few discussions about the cues he had for sale And I eventually bought this one Jimmy was kind enough to sign inside the cue case and sign the cue And he sent me a small cue ball with a signature as well And it was all for £180 It was a bargain at the time and it still is So what have I had done to the cue that I'm going to say is better now than it was when I first bought it So let's look at my stick and what's happened So during the course of the last three years or the two years that I've had this cue Sometimes I've been less careful than I should have been It's been used as a javelin a couple of times It's been battered on the table So I had these dents which you can see in some of the pictures So the dents are gone All the varnish has been removed and it's been waxed It has had two or three coats of wax on it And now the grain is feeling so smooth Now we move up to the top where you can see we've got the new titanium ferrule and a new tip The tip is a G1 tip I had a G2 on before but we've put a G1 on just to see if I feel there's any difference So the main thing for me with the cue is that it's so smooth the playability is so much nicer Much much easier to play with It also says to stop using wet wipes We all use wet wipes don't we The reason for that is the liquid in the wet wipe got absorbed into the cue and was damaging my cue That's why it felt so rough So no more wet wipes Matt So massive thank you to Matt for doing the work on my cue Absolutely fantastic job and a very very reasonable price indeed If you're interested in getting this done to your liking leave me some comments below and I might be able to put you in touch with Matt himself And over to you Stephen Haworth Thanks for watching everyone I hope you enjoyed this video Don't forget to like and subscribe to the YouTube channel
