1. ADAM (Adam)
Adam is a Japanese club brand. It mainly makes nine-ball clubs and is very famous in the nine-ball world. There are very few snooker clubs of this brand, and they are generally mid-to-high-end clubs. The Adam brand also has a sub-brand called Musashi billiard cues, which specializes in mid- to low-end cues. It has foundries in China and is widely sold. Musashi billiard cues can often be seen on billiard cues on the street.
The Adam brand nine-club tip has a large tip, which is suitable for hitting big balls. Because the hitting point is not as accurate as the small tip, some people will not get used to it at first, but the nine-club tip is powerful and It has great elasticity and can produce amazing strong spin after being used properly.
2. MEZZ
Metz was established in Japan by Miki Company and has been making billiard cues since the early 1960s. The MEZZ brand mainly includes American and British cues. Its cues are simple yet tension-free, and are very popular among billiards players.
The Metz brand snooker club has a thinner head, a copper sheath, and a corner of the tail cut off and a trademark inlaid on it; the latter has a thicker head, a white plastic sheath, and a trademark. The tail has no missing corners. The tip of the rod is small, so the hitting point is precise, and it is most suitable for playing snooker, but the absolute power is slightly lower.
Extended information:
Billiard ball maintenance: High-end cue sticks are made of natural wood. Although the materials have been processed and screened through multiple processes, there is no protective paint layer on the surface. If it is not carefully maintained, its external and internal structures may still change, and the club is slender and prone to damage due to frequent impacts. Therefore, in order to maintain stable performance and extend the service life of the club, it must be carefully maintained.
1. It should be kept clean during use and wiped frequently with a dry cloth to prevent sweat stains and other stolen goods from seeping into the wood and corroding the rod body. For clubs with connectors, the thread contact surface should be kept clean. Do not wipe the club with a wet cloth. Apply club oil regularly to prevent changes in dryness and humidity in the air from affecting club performance.
2. Try to keep the clubs vertical when not in use, or use a well-structured club box to store them. Do not leave the clubs in places where the temperature is too high or too low, or where the temperature changes greatly (such as heating) for a long time. Nearby, car trunk, etc.)
3. Do not use coarse sandpaper to polish the wooden surface when there are slight changes. If necessary, gently wipe it with polishing sandpaper, and then apply rod oil immediately. If the change is significant, professional maintenance is required.
4. Do not hit vibrating clubs (especially clubs with snaps) frequently. Do not hit the ball with an unglued tip. Once copper rings, threaded buckles and other parts become loose, they should be repaired as soon as possible to avoid irreparable damage to the wood.
