If you are looking for a snooker cue that is easy to transport, a one piece cue may be the perfect option. These cues are typically chosen for home use, as they can be stored on a rack without the need to be split or kept in a case.
Butt joined snooker cues
A jointed base is often a convenient option for snooker cues. The jointed base makes it easy to carry and allows for cue extension. The majority of 1pc/2pc cues have joints in the base, but some don't. A jointed base allows a cue's extension to be performed, making it a popular choice for beginners.
A butt-jointed cue for snooker consists typically of two pieces: an edge piece and a butt. The most common jointed cue type is the butt. These cues are shortened to allow for shorter extension pieces, which is convenient when playing in tight spaces.
A butt joined snooker cue can have two pieces: the butt (heavier part at the bottom) or the shaft (smaller, narrower ends). These two pieces are joined together at the joint. It is usually made of brass or plastic. Most snooker cues have a brass-to–brass connection.
3/4 jointed snooker cues
Beginners will find it easier to store a 3/4-jointed snooker cue than one-piece cues. Professional players will use a mixture of 3/4 and one-piece cues. This is because 3/4 jointed cues provide a better feeling for shots and are easier than one-piece cues.
A 3/4 joined cue, on the other hand, is a full-sized cue with a 3/4th of the shaft. These cues are very popular. They make great gifts and are easily found at a large discount online. Look out for packages that can save you as much as PS85 on a 3/4-jointed cue.
Single-piece snooker cues are the most common type of snooker cues. Single-piece cues are made of a single piece of wood, with butt splices added for extra strength. These cues have a reputation for being more solid than the two-piece counterparts.
Three-piece snooker cues
Three-piece snooker cues are designed for a shorter overall length but good feel. The most common cues are made from stainless steel ends or wooden joints. High-end cues also can have high impact plastic joints, which will improve the fit and feel. There are pros and con's to three-piece cues for snooker.
One piece snooker cues are more portable than three piece cues. They can be stored easily in a case and can be taken with you wherever you go. They're a great option for those who want to feel the full effect of every shot.
A three-piece table can easily hold three sizes of balls. This option is ideal for tables that have limited space. It is easy to store a three-piece cue with its case, and the two sections. Each section is approximately forty-five centimetres in length. In addition, a short cue is ideal for tables that do not have a lot of space. The BCE Junior 48’’ Short 3 Piece Snooker Cue measures approximately 45cm for the case and 42cm for sections. A short snooker cue features an ebonised 4-point butt and a 9mm brass ferrule.
