A bit of history... and geography... when playing pool.
Ash is a particularly solid wood. So it can be made into thin shafts that are suited to the size of UK pool balls.
Historically, snooker cues have been made of ash.
Ash is a widespread wood in Europe. So it is a logical choice for the construction of English pool cues.
Easy to transport, effective in play, and even reinforced at the heel: what are the features of your cue?
In order to be carried around easily, your billiards cue can be unscrewed into 2 parts, at 3/4 length
The steel junction provides high-quality tightening and masks the impression that you are playing with a 2-part cue.
And with its quick screw thread, you can assemble and disassemble your cue in just a few turns.
Did you know? You need to maintain the tip of your pool cue.
The tip is the very end of your pool cue.
This is the part you use to hit the ball: so it regularly wears out and gets replaced.
If you have just replaced your tip or if you have a new pool cue, you need to "make" the tip.
The goal is to sand the tip with sandpaper to remove the varnish, soften the leather, and break the angles so that the tip hits the ball evenly.
