Weights and dimensions
Your snooker cue measures 57 inches and weighs 19 oz.
And in the metric system? That's 145 cm and 540 g :)
A bit of history... and geography while playing billiards.
Ash is a particularly strong wood. It therefore allows the construction of fine shafts adapted to the size of UK Pool balls.
Historically, snooker cues are made of ash.
In fact, ash is a widespread wood in Europe. It was therefore a logical choice for the construction of English billiard cues.
Easy to carry, efficient to play with and even reinforced at the heel, what are the characteristics of your cue?
For easy transport, your cue can be unscrewed into 2 parts at 3/4
The steel joint provides quality clamping and eliminates the impression of a 2-part cue when playing.
And with its quick screw thread, you can assemble and disassemble your cue in just a few turns.
A word of advice from our billiards team:
Billiards is all about precision... and therefore position. Take your time to find a posture where you're both stable and comfortable.
And with snooker, the pool table is big! Don't hesitate to bend over and play with your chin almost glued to the cue.
Did you know? The process of your cue can be maintained.
The cue tip is the end of your billiard cue (often referred to as the tip).
This is the part of the cue tip with which you hit the ball: it wears out and must be changed regularly.
If you've just replaced your cue tip, or if you have a new cue tip, you need to "make" the cue tip.
The aim is to sand the cue tip with sandpaper to remove the varnish, soften the leather and break up the corners, so that the cue tip hits the ball evenly.
