Snooker Table Brand Comparison: CM1 vs Riley vs Star vs Wiraka

Four brands account for most snooker tables sold in Malaysia. Here is how they compare across key factors.

CM1: Best Value Malaysian Brand

CM1, manufactured by Comet in Cheras, KL, offers the best value in the local market. Their tables start at RM10,800 for the City model. Being a local manufacturer means spare parts, cloth, and service are readily available without import delays. CM1 tables are used in halls across the country. For most home buyers on a budget, CM1 is the logical first choice. Read our table buying guide for detailed pricing.

Riley: Premium Heritage Brand

Riley tables represent over a century of British snooker craftsmanship. The Aristocrat at RM139,000 is the pinnacle, but Riley also makes more accessible models. If you want the finest table money can buy and budget is not a constraint, Riley is the answer. Available through Cue Station and Lujo in East Malaysia.

Star (Xingpai): Tournament Standard

Star tables are the official table of the World Snooker Tour. Chinese-manufactured with precision engineering, they sit between CM1 and Riley on price. Star tables are less widely available in Malaysia but can be sourced through Immortal Cue Station, which carries Xingpai products.

Wiraka: Hall Operator Favourite

Wiraka is a Malaysian manufacturer popular with commercial hall operators. Their 1980 Classic and Classic M1 models are workhorses built for heavy daily use. Maxi Snooker Club in Ipoh runs 22 Wiraka tables. Wiraka also sponsors national-level events through partnerships with academies like Cuestar in Melaka.

Complete Accessories Checklist

Buying a table is just the start. Here are the 14 accessories every snooker table owner needs.

The total cost for all essential accessories runs approximately RM1,400-3,500 depending on quality. Add another RM500-1,000 for the recommended items. Most table retailers can supply accessories as part of a package deal, so always ask when purchasing your table.

Online vs In-Store Buying

Both options have advantages. Here is when to use each.

Buy In-Store When...

• Buying a cue — Weight, balance, and feel cannot be assessed from photos. Always try before buying if possible. Neumann Snooker KL and Cue Station offer try-before-buy.
• Buying a table — Visit a showroom to check build quality, cloth feel, and cushion response. PPS in Subang Jaya has a full showroom.
• You need expert advice — Staff at established shops like Cue Station (20+ years) can recommend the right equipment for your level and budget.
• You need servicing — Cue polishing, tip replacement, and re-ferrule work are in-store services.

Buy Online When...

• Buying consumables — Chalk, tips, glue, and cloth are standard products where brand and specifications matter more than feel.
• You know exactly what you want — If you have tried a specific cue model in-store and found it cheaper online, that is a valid approach.
• No local retailer — Players in East Malaysia or smaller states may have limited in-store options. Lujo in Kuching delivers across Sabah and Sarawak.
• Price comparison — Some accessories are significantly cheaper online, especially from direct-from-manufacturer brands.

Online Shopping Cautions

Be wary of unbranded cues on platforms like Shopee and Lazada. Cheap cues under RM50 often use poor-quality wood that warps quickly in Malaysia's humidity. Stick to known brands (see our brand guide) and buy from verified seller accounts. For balls, insist on genuine Aramith. Counterfeit balls do not roll true and can damage your cloth.
