Bought as a Christmas gift for my son. He's getting into snooker and wanted to get him a cue good enough to keep for life. This delivered. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Lovely finish to the wood and the case feels premium too. All in all a very happy customer. I got the black one rather than the green version as to me just looked classier, but that's personal taste.

I used to play pool quite a lot when I was younger, and back then I always used to wish I had my own cue. The ones in my local were always badly bent, and not properly looked after. Unfortunately, there are not many opportunities for me to practice in my local area, as most of the pubs no longer have a pool table, and I certainly don't have one.Nonetheless, if I do get a chance to play, I'm really happy with the quality of this cue. It's beautifully engineered, perfectly straight, and arrived extremely well packed and protected. The hard case that comes with it has a dedicated compartment to hold a couple of cubes of chalk, in addition to the cue itself. The case has three aged metal fasteners on the outside (one central, and one towards each end). Inside, the case is soft and well padded, with two lengthways sections that divide, separate and protect the two halves of the cue, which screw together with what looks like a quality solid brass thread.The cue is perfectly smooth, made from an attractive pale ash wood, highlighted with a dark grain. The handle is smooth and very comfortable to hold and grip. This is where most of the weight is, with the front section being extremely lightweight. It feels very well balanced once the two pieces of the cue are screwed together. You also get a matching six inch extension piece. This screws onto the end of the handle, to help you reach longer shots.One very slight niggle is that the handle on the case is located on the widest top surface, rather than the slimmer side edge. That makes it slightly more awkward and bulky to carry, as it doesn’t lay flat against your side. This doesn’t detract from the quality of the product inside the case though. I’m sure that anybody who is a keen pool player would absolutely love this cue. I presume it's a special limited edition piece, as there is a holographic sticker on the back, marked with a unique serial number. I’m afraid I don't know who Mark Selby is, but his signature is also on a small plate underneath the back of the handle.

I've recently added the BCE Protégé 3/4 Cut Mark Selby Snooker/Pool Cue and Hard Case to my collection, and it has quickly become one of my favourites. As a regular snooker player with several cues, I appreciate the quality and craftsmanship that BCE brings with this cue.The cue is made from North American ash, which provides a nice balance of flexibility and strength. The 3/4 cut design makes it easy to transport and store, especially with the included hard case, which offers excellent protection during travel.One of the standout features is the tip, which offers precise control over the cue ball, allowing for more accurate shots. The brass joint ensures a secure and stable connection, enhancing the cue's overall performance.The aesthetic appeal of this cue is also noteworthy. The design is sleek and professional, with a classic look that is enhanced by the Mark Selby signature series branding. This not only adds to the visual appeal but also gives confidence in its performance, knowing it’s endorsed by a world-class player.In comparison to other cues I own, the BCE Protégé holds its own in terms of playability and comfort. The weight distribution is well-balanced, making it comfortable to use for extended periods. It also comes with a mini butt extension, which is a nice touch for those tricky long shots.Overall, it’s a great addition to any serious player’s collection. It offers excellent performance, durability, and style at a reasonable price point
