Selecting the right pool/snooker cue is essential for any player looking to improve their game on the snooker table. At Hamilton Billiards, we're here to help you navigate the process, making it easier for you to find a snooker cue that suits your style and enhances your performance.
Why Opt for a Personalised Pool Cue?
Personalisation is key for players who demand precision and comfort from their equipment. With services like Peradon's cue design available at www.cuewizard.com, you have the opportunity to tailor your cue to your specific needs.
Whether you want a certain one piece snooker cue, two piece cue, or a three quarter jointed snooker cue, you have the option to customise fully on cuewizard or choose from our selection of our standard cues (which are also semi customisable).
This could mean choosing a unique design, specific dimensions, or even the weight of the cue. Remember, a personalised pool cue doesn't always mean higher costs.
Understanding Cue Quality
The quality of your cue is largely determined by the shaft. Peradon, for example, uses only high-grade Ash sourced from North America, chosen for its ideal grain structure and rigidity. Despite this careful selection, most timber is rejected to ensure that only the best quality is used for making cues. This meticulous process results in a range of shaft grades, each suited to different playing preferences.
Length and Material: Making the Right Choice
The correct cue length is crucial for comfort and accuracy. A standard Peradon snooker cue is 58 inches, ideal for the average player. However, the length can be adjusted based on your height. The material of the butt timber also affects the cue's balance and feel. While Ebony is often preferred for its weight and balance, Rosewood is a viable alternative, offering both beauty and functionality.
The Role of Joint Position and Extensions
The position of the joint in your cue can significantly impact its portability and adaptability. A well-placed joint, combined with the right extension, can make it easier to handle difficult shots. Peradon cues feature precision-engineered joints that ensure a perfect fit, avoiding any potential for noise or misalignment. Therefore, this is another significant benefit of choosing a personalised pool cue.
Tips, Ferrules, and Finishing Touches
The type of cue tip you choose (e.g., Elk Master, Elk-Pro, or Talisman) depends on your personal preference and the feel you're looking for. Similarly, the choice of ferrule and the cue's finish can affect your playing experience. Peradon cues are finished with a special blend of oils, giving them a smooth feel and a protective layer that lasts.
