MARK RICHARD BLACK Badge 53" Youth & Junior Short Snooker Cue Set with Mexican Bocote Splice #ST53B

A Stylish Junior Snooker Cue That Combines Traditional Craftsmanship with Outstanding Playability

Every young player deserves a cue that inspires confidence from the very first frame. The MARK RICHARD 53" Junior Snooker Cue has been designed to bridge the gap between beginner cues and full-sized professional models, offering a premium playing experience in a more manageable length.

Built with a single-piece North American Ash shaft, a beautifully figured Mexican Bocote wood splice, and a perfectly balanced weight, this 1-piece short snooker cue delivers smooth cueing, reliable control and a refined appearance that stands out both at home and in the snooker club.

Whether you're learning the fundamentals or developing match-winning consistency, this cue is designed to grow with your game.

Designed to Build Confidence with Every Shot

The 53-inch length offers the perfect compromise between a junior cue and a standard full-size cue. It gives younger players and smaller adults greater freedom of movement without sacrificing the natural feel of a traditional snooker cue.

Instead of struggling with an oversized cue, players can concentrate on developing rhythm, timing and accurate cue-ball striking.

• Ideal junior snooker cue for progressing players
• Comfortable handling encourages smoother cue action
• Easier to develop consistent technique and cue-ball control
• Excellent choice for coaching, practice and league play

Premium Ash Shaft for a Smooth, Natural Stroke

A cue is only as good as the timber it's built from. That's why every MARK RICHARD junior cue features a carefully selected North American Ash shaft, offering excellent straightness, strength and responsiveness.

The one piece construction allows every shot to feel solid and connected, helping players better judge pace, spin and cue-ball contact.

• Crisp, responsive feedback
• Improved shot consistency
• Natural cue action with excellent balance
• Built to withstand years of regular play

Distinctive Mexican Bocote Splice Inspired by Luxury Cue Making

What makes this cue truly special is its stunning Mexican Bocote wood splice. Known for its dramatic grain patterns and warm golden-brown tones, Bocote gives every cue its own unique character. Combined with elegant Maple veneers and the durable Hi-Tech Black Wood butt, the result is a cue that looks every bit as refined as premium handmade models.

• Every cue features naturally unique wood grain
• Rich colour contrast creates a luxury appearance
• Classic British cue styling with a contemporary finish
• Premium aesthetics that stand out in any cue rack

Competition-Ready 9.5mm Tip for Greater Accuracy

The cue arrives fitted with a professionally prepared 9.5mm MR Hard Tip, already shaped and pre-scuffed for immediate use. Matched with a solid brass ferrule, it provides dependable performance whether you're playing delicate safety shots or confident long pots.

• Ready to play straight from delivery
• Excellent cue-ball grip
• Consistent spin and positional control
• Reliable performance with fewer miscues

Extension Compatible for Long-Term Development
