If you are looking for a snooker cue that is easy to transport, a one piece cue may be the perfect option. These cues are typically chosen for home use, as they can be stored on a rack without the need to be split or kept in a case.
Butt joined snooker cues
A jointed base is a common design feature in snooker cues. A jointed base allows the cue to be carried easily and take extension. The majority of 1pc/2pc ice cues have joints at the base. Some don't. A jointed base allows a cue's extension to be performed, making it a popular choice for beginners.
A butt-jointed cue for snooker consists typically of two pieces: an edge piece and a butt. The most popular type of jointed cue is the butt joint. These cues can be shortened to make it easier to attach shorter extensions pieces. This is useful when you are playing in tight spaces.
A butt-jointed snooker snooker cup may have two pieces. The butt (heavier, lower end) and the shaft are the smaller, narrower ends. The joint is either made from brass or plastic and joins the two pieces. Most snooker cues use brass-tobrass.
3/4 jointed snooker cues
A 3/4 jointed snooker cue is a good choice for beginners, since these cues are easier to store than one-piece cues. Professional players will use a mixture of 3/4 and one-piece cues. These cues give a more satisfying feeling when shooting and are much easier to transport.
A 3/4 joined cue is a cue with a full-sized joint that runs 3/4 of the length of the shaft. These cues are a popular choice. These cues make great gifts and can be purchased online at a significant discount. Look out for packages that can save you as much as PS85 on a 3/4-jointed cue.
Single-piece cues for snooker are the most used. Single-piece cues are made of a single piece of wood, with butt splices added for extra strength. These cues have a reputation for being more solid than the two-piece counterparts.
Three-piece snooker cues
Three-piece snooker snooker cups are designed to be shorter but provide good feel. The most popular cues have stainless steel ends and wooden joints. High-end cues may also come with high-impact plastic joints for better fit and feel. There are pros and cons to using three-piece snooker snooker cups.
Three-piece cues are less portable than one-piece snooker cues. They can be easily stored in a cue case and do not need to be split in order to travel. These are great for people who want to get the best feel out of every shot.
A three-piece cue can hold three different sizes of balls. This option is ideal for tables that have limited space. You can also store a 3-piece cue in its case with the two sections. Each section is approximately forty-five centimetres in length. A short cue is also ideal for tables with limited space. The BCE Junior 48's Short 3 Piece Snooker Cue measures 45cm in length (case) or 42cm in sections. The ebonized four-point cue is paired with a 9mm brass ferrule.
