Geet Sethi is a true champion, and arguably one of the finest Billiard players of the modern era. Born in New Delhi, India in 1961, his competitive career spans in excess of three decades, having risen to prominence in 1985 by winning his first IBSF World Amateur Billiards title. He won the IBSF World Title twice more in 1997 and 2001, before turning professional. He subsequently won the WPBSA World Professional Billiards title no less than five times in 1992, 1993, 1995, 1998 & 2006. His first World Professional title was punctuated by a world record break of 1276, which stood for over 15 years until being surpassed recently by fellow professional Peter Gilchrist.

 

A major sporting hero in India, he took gold and silver medals at the 13th Asian Games held in Bangkok in 1998. Geet has also been the recipient of India’s highest sporting accolade, the ‘Rajiv Ghandi Khel Ratna’ award in 1992. Known primarily for his Billiard related achievements, Geet recorded the very first official competition amateur 147 maximum break at the 1989 Indian National Snooker Championships at Guntoor, Andhra Pradesh, on his way to winning the title for the fourth successive time.

 

Geet currently participates on the English-Billiards Open Series tour, and is the present Irish Open Champion.

 

:: THE INSPIRATION ::

 

This Limited Edition Cue was inspired as a direct replica of Geet’s own cue, exact in every detail down to size, splicing, and weighting. The only change has been by way of a specially commissioned butt plate which serves to signify in a historical way the ethos and very special nature of the cue.

 

:: THE MAKING OF THE CUE ::

 

The whole process, from commencement of the hand tapering through to the finished article takes between eight and ten weeks to complete, with the shafts being allowed to rest for a period of time as they are gradually worked by hand into shape. Only the finest grade A materials are used throughout.

 

:: AUTHENTICATION ::

 

Each and every cue is identified by a unique number engraved into a plate on the butt of the cue. This is supported by a signed Certificate of Authenticity (COA) similar to the one shown (right). Each COA will be individually signed by Geet, Robin Cook (the maker), and Roxton Chapman (Chairman of EBOS), and bear the

exact details of each cue. Both these methods serve to authenticate without refute what will surely become a future collectors item. Copies of each individual COA will be retained by EBOS as a safeguard against falsification of origin and/or the genuine nature of any cue.
