Today we celebrate the remarkable career of World Champion Ken Doherty as he announces his retirement from professional snooker.

A true gentleman of the game, Ken's passion, dedication, and achievements have inspired generations of players and fans around the world. His contribution to cue sports extends far beyond his World Championship triumph, leaving a lasting legacy on the sport he loves.

We are incredibly proud to have Ken as a Hainsworth Cue Sports ambassador and grateful for his continued support of our brand and the wider cue sports community.
Congratulations on an outstanding career, Ken, and best wishes for this exciting new chapter.

Hainsworth Cue Sports fabrics are made to last, but they need to be looked after once they’re put into play.

Here are our top tips for keeping your table in top condition.

🎱 Brush the cloth

🎱 Occasionally dry iron

🎱 Keep out of natural daylight and direct sun

🎱 Avoid using worn or damaged balls

🎱 Do not chalk the cue over the table

🎱 Avoid dropping balls of heavy objects on the table

🎱 Do not use cues with sharp edges
