Description
The 1066 Billiards Duke 074 is a traditional 1-piece ash snooker cue with a lighter playing weight, slimmer butt and slightly shorter overall length. Designed for players who favour a more compact, manageable cue, it combines selected ash construction with a responsive feel suited to controlled, precise cueing.
At 57″ in length with a 9.4mm tip and a 17.9oz weight, the Duke 074 offers a lighter alternative to many conventional snooker cues. Its 16″ balance point creates a relatively rear-balanced profile, giving the cue a more compact feel in the hand rather than the forward-weighted action of some longer models. The slightly smaller 9.4mm tip also appeals to players who prefer a finer tip diameter for accurate cue ball contact and delicate positional play.
Cue Features
Made from straight-grained ash, the Duke 074 delivers the natural feedback and traditional playing characteristics associated with a quality 1-piece snooker cue. Its slim 29.6mm butt provides a comfortable grip for players who prefer a narrower handle, complementing the lighter 17.9oz weight and rearward balance. The one-piece construction maintains a direct, uninterrupted feel through the stroke, while a fitted butt-end thread ensures compatibility with 1066 Billiards extensions (sold separately) whenever additional reach is needed.

Why Choose the Duke 074?
The Duke 074 is particularly well suited to snooker players who prefer a lighter cue with a slimmer grip and a balance point closer to the butt. Its combination of 57″ length, 17.9oz weight and 29.6mm butt creates a compact, comfortable playing profile, while the 9.4mm tip provides a finer contact point for players who value precision. It offers an appealing alternative to heavier, more forward-balanced cues within the 1066 Billiards Duke range.
