There are many snooker cues available today. A cheap entry-level model may appeal to beginners. However, you must invest in a high quality cue if you want to be serious about your game.

First of all, you need to decide what type of cue you want. There are two main types to choose from: one-piece cues and two-piece cues. The most traditional cues are one-piece, however there are cues made completely 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 great hit.

A jump and break cue is another option. It is designed to help you get started in a game. These cues are usually used in 10-ball. These cues are more suitable for jumping balls because they have a stronger tip than most other cues. Peradon's Cobra 2 Piece Snooker Cue exemplifies this. It is manufactured from sports grade Ash, features a brass ferule, and comes with a 9mm tip.

Finally, you can purchase a cue with a 'Cannon' jointed end, or a cue that has a 'butt jointed' end. The Cannon cues that have a 'butt jointed' ends are often provided with a special 'Cannon' extension that is screwed onto the end of the cue.


Maple and Ash are the most common materials used in snooker. You should choose the right tip for your game. Tips can vary in size, surface area and hardness. It is recommended that players use a cue with a tip of between 9.5-10. Billiards players should use a cue with a tip between 9.5 and 10.

To purchase a snooker snooker cue you can go to your local snooker club, or to a retail shop to get it. However, you'll need to decide on a cue size, too. The size of the cue that you select will be affected by your height, weight, and level of skill. A shorter cue suits players who are not very tall. A shorter cue might be preferable for players who are a little more tall. It doesn't matter what you decide, you need to make sure your cue is protected from any damage.
