Choosing a snooker cue is a difficult decision and because a new cue should last many years it should be chosen wisely. The main differences between different snooker cues are the split, the weight, the length and the material type.
Today I am going to talk about the split:
One piece snooker cues are the traditionalists choice - they look really good and don't have a seam which means a smooth feathering action, however they can be a pain to transport because they can’t be shortened. Next we have the two piece snooker cue and as the name suggests this type of cue splits equally into two pieces. The Two piece snooker cue is probably the most common type of cue - there advantages are that they can be shortened easily and transported without taking up to much space, there disadvantages are mainly that there is a seam in the center of the cue which can disrupt the feathering action. The Three quarter jointed snooker cue is probably the snooker cue that most advanced and professional snooker players. These cues split around 6 inches from the base which means there are no issues with feathering and there is also possibility of adding a longer screw-in extension to the cue as well.
Other things to consider when buying a new snooker cue are the length, the weight and the type of wood the cue is made from. I will be talking a little bit about the other factors over the next week or so.
