Snooker Cues

A snooker cue is the tapered stick that is used to sink the snooker balls into the pockets of the snooker table. Snooker cues are essentially the same as their billiard cue counterparts and they come in the usual one and a half meter lengths. Snooker cues come in different compositions and designs to suit the varying preferences of snooker players. There are single piece cue sticks, two piece cue sticks and ¾ jointed cue sticks for snooker.

There are numerous brands for these snooker cues and you can find most of them in online snooker gear stores. Some of the more popular snooker cue brands you can find online include Peradon, Cannon, Cue Craft, Master Craft and many more. You can also find snooker cue cases in these snooker supply sites to carry your snooker cues in style and protect them as well.

Aside from the numerous snooker cues that you can buy online, you can also try to look for some of the best cues for snooker from other sources, like pool or billiard supply outlets and sports stores near you. You can find some of the more popular cues like the Predator snooker cue, the Falcon snooker cue, Riley snooker cues, Parish snooker cues and others. While some of these cues are actually made for billiards or pool, since the composition of these cue sticks are usually similar to one another, some snooker players use pool cue sticks for snooker games.

The history of snooker dates back to the 19th century and even though it is a variation of the game of billiards, some old cues are still available today, and most of them are considered antiques. You can try to look for an antique Brunswick snooker cue along with an antique snooker table from the same brand. There are also other antique snooker cues from some of the other well known snooker cue brands.

If you are fond of woodworking and you believe that you can create your own snooker cue from scratch or craft a snooker cue case from some pieces of wood you have in your workshop, you may first need to know how a snooker cue is made. You can try to research sites that show you steps on how you can go about making a snooker cue. Then you can begin by practicing on a small piece of wood before you embark on a full length version of your project.
