CARBON GRAPHITE 2 PIECE FULL SIZE SNOOKER CUE WITH 9.5mm TIP **

Product Information

The most common ferrule material in pool cues is carbon fiber, while a cue for Snooker is usually brass. Things that look great seem more prone to damage. Although carbon fiber cue shafts offer incredible resistance from hard surfaces, minor damage is still possible if not taken well care of. Another reason that makes people worry about carbon cue shafts is that they are not repairable, so you’ve to be careful when playing with one. However, you can change the tip of the cue when needed, but with care. 3. Gets dirty easy: Traditional cue weights can vary between 453g and 510g, however, some professional players use heavier cues that weight more than 600g. That said, some professional players prefer lighter cues, including John Spencer, Terry Griffiths and Mark Williams. As said earlier, carbon cue shafts have a white surface, which means they can easily catch dirt, debris, scratches, dents, and other minor damages. This is the reason they’re not the best option for someone who isn’t habitual of maintaining his billiard equipment. 4. Usage:

Many players choose traditional one-piece cues as it gives them a more solid hit, however, it comes down to personal preference. These cues are ideal for home play. Two-piece cues and ¾ jointed cues are also great options plus, provide a higher level of portability compared to one-piece cues as these can be taken apart and easily transported. Because of this, they show reduced vibrations, eliminate squirts of the cue ball and give an optimum performance every time. The weight of carbon fiber pool cue shafts is also what adds another layer of stability and balance to the cue when hitting the ball. 3. Durability: As the name suggests, carbon fiber shafts are made up of high-quality, lightweight, and durable carbon material. They are also a sign of relief when it comes to cleaning as all you need to do is wipe a clean cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol that can clean all its spots. With reduced vibration, less front-end mass, and almost no cue ball skirt, carbon cue shafts are now the must-have equipment for every billiard player.

Since carbon fiber and fiberglass are stronger and stiffer materials than wood, some players find them more powerful. Carbon and fiberglass cues often require less effort to move the cue ball at the same speed than wooden cues, this results in a faster, and hence more powerful shot. There are three main types of snooker cues: one-piece snooker cues, two piece snooker cues and three quarter jointed snooker cues. With over two decades of passionate dedication to the world of Snooker, Billiards, and Pool, we've used our experience to search for only the best of the best, , allowing us to partner with the top names in the business. Our expertise enables us to provide a wide range of snooker cue solutions for newcomer and advanced players alike. Even though the cue itself has to feel comfortable, the tip of the cue is the most important part as it can make or break your performance. Cue tips differ in diameter, surface area, hardness grades and styles. With a shorter ferrule, less landmass, and a slightly bent side, the low deflection carbon fiber cue shaft creates less cue ball squirts. This is because these shafts have lighter, more flexible, and rounded ends that hit at the head of the cue ball (the aim of the line).

One-piece cues are produced by one single square of wood. These have no joints and thus, cannot be taken apart. Whilst, two-piece cues and ¾ jointed cues can be easily taken apart by unscrewing their joints. Low deflection cue shafts are no doubt the best option for players who prefer more spin, accuracy, and consistency in their shots. Compared to others, the carbon cue shafts show low deflection because of the less end mass at their end that lets players more hits and scrapes than ordinary shafts. 2. Lightweight:Wooden cues usually offer a superior feel compared to carbon fiber and fiberglass cues. Wooden cues are more flexible which means you can feel the vibrations more when you hit the cue ball. Carbon fiber and fiberglass are very stiff materials, which means they have a deadening effect on the vibrations so they don’t transfer to your hand as well. Carbon fiber is slightly stiffer than fiberglass so will have the least “feel” out of the three materials. The inlays of a cue’s butt are often where fancy craftsmanship is displayed, especially in antique and specialty models.

Having a lightweight cue shaft is no less than a blessing for players who travel with their billiard equipment. The secret to this is the presence of high-quality aerospace-grade carbon fiber that shapes the cue in a sleek and lightweight body.The problem with being less able to feel the vibrations of the shot is that it can be hard to know why a shot was successful or unsuccessful. What I mean here, is that it’s easier to learn when using a wooden cue because it feels more responsive making it easy for your brain to make the connection between how a good and bad shot feels more easily.
