Description

Peradon 58″ Walter Lindrum Champion 3/4 Jointed Snooker Cue

One of the game’s finest players, Walter Lindrum, played with a Peradon snooker cue and in his appreciation for their assistance, he hand-wrote a contract letter, held by Peradon, giving them the indefinite, sole rights to manufacture cues bearing his name. Cue collectors treasure the original Walter Lindrum Champion and has now been reintroduced to the Peradon range with the added benefit of some modern-day touches, such as the quick action joint and butt end joint. This is a full-size, 58-inch, 3/4 jointed Peradon snooker cue crafted in England from the highest grade, kiln-dried North American Ash and exotic Ebony.

Manufacture & Specifications

The ash is carefully selected for strength and straightness before the finest, genuine Ebony butt timber is spliced to the cue by hand, and the cue is shaped to produce the distinctive four-round point pattern of a hand-spliced cue. The decorative Bubinga front splice and Sycamore veneer are then hand-spliced to the Ebony butt. To reduce stress to the timbers the cue is then shaped over a period of time until the final tapered shape is achieved, after which the numerous sanding and finishing processes are then undertaken to achieve a ‘silk smooth’ finish. The cue shaft is then stamped traditionally with the cue weight to the nearest 1/2 oz.

To eliminate joint problems the two sections of the ‘quick action’ joint are each precision turned from a single piece of solid brass and precisely fitted 12″ from the butt end to give the shaft length of 46″. The butt is finished with a Peradon Walter Lindrum Champion name plate and ‘quick action’ butt end joint to accept extensions.

* The quality of the ash shaft is of the utmost importance when crafting a cue. Shafts are extensively selected, with only a small percentage of the pieces processed, making the grade for production of these cues. To maintain the highest selection standards, Peradon purchases more ash than any other English snooker cue maker. The selection process is even more rigorous for the highest quality hand-spliced cues such as this.
