There are many types of snooker cues currently on the market. A cheap entry-level model may appeal to beginners. But, if you are serious about your game, you need to invest in a top-quality cue.
First of all, you need to decide what type of cue you want. There are two main types. One-piece and second-piece. While one-piece cues are the most traditional, there are also some cues that are completely made of wood. These cues come in many sizes and shapes, including a three-section snooker, which has a brass "Cannon" joint in its middle. This gives the cue a great solid hit.
You can also use a jump-and-break cue to get a strong start to your game. These cues are usually used in 10-ball. They have a more durable tip than other cues which makes them better for jumping. The Cobra 2 Piece Snooker Cue from Peradon is a great example of this. It is made of sports-grade Ash and features a brass Ferrule.
A cue can be purchased with either a Cannon' joinedted end or a butt-jointed end. Cannon cues have a butt joinedted' end. These cues often include a special Cannon 'Cannon" extension that is attached directly to the cue.
Maple and Ash are the most common materials used in snooker. The tip sizes, surface area, hardness and diameters of the tips can vary so make sure to choose the best tip for you. A cue tip should be between 9.5-10. When playing billiards, the ball will tend to drift off course faster if it's using a soft tip.

If you are ready to buy a snooker cue, you can head to a local snooker club or a retail store to purchase the cue of your choice. However, it is important to determine the cue size. Your height, weight, or skill level will all impact the size of your cue. A shorter cue will work best for those who aren’t very tall. A longer cue may be preferred by a player who's a bit taller. It doesn't matter what you decide, you need to make sure your cue is protected from any damage.
