Collector's Item
12 Sep 2008
It’s at the World Championships in Austria that the IBSF will for the first time exclusively present a quality Snooker Cue bearing the logo of the IBSF.
This top model with a high quality finish and entirely handmade by craftsman has been designed and produced exclusively for the IBSF by a company in Thailand that was introduced to the IBSF during the last World Championships.
The very high quality wood used in the manufacture of the cue combines refinement and harmony by using 3 colours of the IBSF (blue, red and gold).
The gold colour is not obtained by a dye but by using a rare wood of natural colour.
This Snooker Cue can only be acquired from the IBSF and is not available from anywhere else.
The proposed price will be very attractive in terms of a high quality product.
The small quantity of cues that will be available for sale will be due to the time required for a handmade production, which allows only for a manufacture of 20 to 30 cues per year.
This project is part of an overall positive vision of the IBSF to promote its image and to distribute products related to its business and that will generate substantial revenues for the benefit of the IBSF and our sport.
It will soon be possible to obtain all IBSF products on the website in an online shop at this time under construction by our IBSF Webmaster, and this will be ready in time for the World Championships.
This will be an opportunity to be one of the first to own and play with this special cue, which could easily become a valuable collector’s item.
