Description
The 1066 Billiards Duke 080 is a traditional 1-piece ash snooker cue that combines a solid, medium-weight playing feel with a noticeably slimmer butt diameter. Crafted from selected ash, it offers the familiar proportions of a full-length snooker cue while providing a more refined grip for players who prefer less bulk in the hand.
At 58″ in length with a 9.5mm tip and an 18.4oz weight, the Duke 080 delivers a reassuring sense of stability without feeling excessively heavy. Its 17″ balance point creates a natural, well-balanced playing profile, while the slender 29.5mm butt distinguishes this cue from models with more substantial handles. This combination is particularly appealing to players who enjoy a traditional cue weight but prefer a slimmer grip for comfortable, controlled cue delivery.
Cue Features
Made from straight-grained ash, the Duke 080 provides consistent feedback and the direct playing response associated with quality one-piece snooker cues. Its 29.5mm butt is notably slim, offering a narrower grip that may suit players with smaller hands or those who simply prefer a finer handle. The 18.4oz weight provides substance through the stroke, complementing the cue's relatively neutral balance for a steady, predictable feel. Traditional one-piece construction maintains an uninterrupted connection through the cue, while a fitted butt-end thread ensures compatibility with 1066 Billiards extensions (sold separately) whenever additional reach is required.
