Precision Built for Snooker & English Pool

Feature:

Available in 57-inch (145cm) or 58-inch (147cm) lengths with a choice of 8.5mm or 9.5mm MR Hard Tip.

Benefit for Players:

Different games reward different styles, and this cue lets you choose what suits yours.

• 8.5mm Tip → Ideal for English pool players seeking tighter cue ball contact and finer positional control.
• 9.5mm Tip → Excellent for snooker and highly recommended as a more forgiving setup for improving players and those refining technique.

If you're looking for a cue that adapts as your ability grows, the SC111 gives you flexibility from day one.

Hand-Selected North American Ash Shaft

Made using premium North American Ash, carefully selected for straightness and responsiveness. Ash remains the preferred choice for many UK cue players because the visible grain naturally assists with alignment.

The shaft delivers:

✓ Smooth cue delivery
✓ Reliable feedback on contact
✓ Better visual guidance during aiming
✓ Stable performance across long practice sessions

Signature Purple & Black Splice Design

Finished with 4 secondary Purple & Black Hi-Tech wood splices and thick maple veneers, paired with a sleek black butt. The layered construction reinforces structural stability while creating a premium appearance that stands out without being flashy.

The ergonomic black butt also helps reduce unwanted vibration during impact, creating a more composed strike.

Fast, Secure ¾ Joint System

Equipped with a Quick-Release Vacuum Long Pin Brass Joint. The ¾ joint gives many of the benefits players love from a one-piece cue, while remaining practical for transport.

Compared with standard centre-jointed cues, players often prefer the feel because of:

• Improved front-end stability
• More natural balance
• Faster assembly
• Strong, dependable connection

Ideal for club nights, league matches, and regular practice.

Optional Tip Upgrade
