9.5mm Tip Sapphire One-Piece Snooker Cue Set Built for Serious Improvement

Take your game up a notch with the MARK RICHARD Black Badge Series One-Piece Snooker Cue. Designed for players moving beyond casual practice and looking for greater consistency, this cue combines eye-catching style with dependable performance.

Inspired by the Colours of the Night Sky

The cue features a striking combination of cobalt blue and hi-tech blackwood splices, finished with triple maple veneers. The bold contrast creates a distinctive look that stands out in any club while also helping with visual alignment when addressing the cue ball.

One-Piece Construction for Maximum Feel

Many Australian players prefer a one-piece cue for its solid, uninterrupted feel. Without a joint in the playing shaft, energy transfers smoothly through the cue, providing excellent feedback and helping develop a more consistent cue action.

Whether you're playing soft positional shots or powering through long pots, you'll appreciate the direct connection between cue and cue ball.
