There are many types of snooker cues currently on the market. 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, decide which type of cue do you want. There are two types of cues: one-piece or two-piece. While one-piece cues are the most traditional, there are also some cues that are completely made of wood. These cues are available in many shapes and sizes. This gives the cue a solid hit.
Another option is a jump & break cue. These cues are designed to give you an explosive start to a new game. These cues are often used in 10-ball. They have a tougher tip than other cues, so they are better for jumping balls. This is evident in the Peradon Cobra 2 Piece Snooker Cue. It's made out of Ash grade and has a brass ferule.
You can also buy a cue having a Cannon' joined end, or one with a butt-jointed ending. Cannon cues which have 'butt-jointed' ends often come with a special Cannon' extension that is attached to the cue.
Maple or Ash are the most popular materials for snooker cues. The tip sizes, surface area, hardness and diameters of the tips can vary so make sure to choose the best tip for you. Players are generally recommended to use a cue with a tip between 9.5 and 10. A cue with a tip between 9.5 and 10 is recommended for billiards games. The ball will drift more easily if it has a soft tip. It will also degrade quicker if the tip is too hard.

To purchase a snooker snooker cue you can go to your local snooker club, or to a retail shop to get it. However, it is important to determine the cue size. Your height, weight, or skill level will all impact the size of your cue. A shorter cue will work best for those who aren’t very tall. A longer cue is better for players who are slightly taller. It doesn't really matter what decision you make, but you should ensure your cue remains safe and sound.
