Description
The 1066 Billiards Earl 007 is a premium 2-piece ash snooker cue featuring a longer 59″ shaft-to-butt length and a distinctly forward-balanced playing profile. Designed for players who appreciate additional reach and a confident, flowing cue action, the Earl 007 combines traditional ash construction with the practicality of a centre joint, offering a serious playing cue in a convenient 2-piece format.
Weighing 18.4oz with a 20″ balance point, the Earl 007 has a pronounced forward-weighted character that distinguishes it from more centrally balanced snooker cues. The positioning of its weight encourages a smooth, positive delivery, with a sense of momentum through the cue ball that may particularly appeal to players who prefer a steady, deliberate stroke.
Its 9.4mm tip provides a precise contact point for controlled snooker play, while the 30.1mm butt offers a comfortable grip without feeling excessively thick. The selected ash shaft displays the distinctive grain associated with traditional snooker cues, complemented by an individual 8-slice butt design that gives the Earl 007 its own appearance within the 1066 Billiards collection.
Cue Features
The Earl 007 is constructed from selected ash, providing the natural feedback and familiar playing characteristics preferred by many experienced snooker players. Ash remains a popular shaft material because of its distinctive grain, responsive feel and long-established place in traditional snooker cue manufacturing.
Unlike many 2-piece snooker cues that are primarily designed for beginners or occasional players, the Earl range is developed for those who specifically prefer a centre-joint construction. The precision-fitted joint allows the cue to separate into two sections for convenient transport while maintaining the solid connection and continuity expected from a quality playing cue.
The 59″ length provides additional reach compared with a conventional 57″ or 58″ cue, making the Earl 007 an appealing choice for taller players or those who naturally favour a longer cue. Combined with its 18.4oz weight and 20″ balance point, these proportions create a stable, forward-weighted setup with a distinctive sense of presence during delivery.
Completing the cue is a detailed 8-slice butt construction, adding visual depth and individuality while retaining the traditional appearance of a premium ash snooker cue.

Why Choose the Earl 007?
The Earl 007 is particularly suited to players who prefer a longer snooker cue with a pronounced forward balance. Its 59″ length offers additional reach, while the 20″ balance point gives the cue a positive, settled feel that can complement a smooth and controlled cueing action.
At 18.4oz, it provides substantial playing weight without being excessively heavy. The combination of a 9.4mm tip and 30.1mm butt also makes it an attractive option for players who prefer a slightly finer tip alongside a comfortable, moderately sized grip.
For players who want the convenience of a 2-piece snooker cue but are unwilling to compromise on quality, the Earl 007 offers selected ash construction, individual playing specifications and a distinctive 8-slice butt design.
Stocked, finished and ready to play, the 1066 Billiards Earl 007 provides a premium alternative to conventional centre-joint snooker cues, particularly for players seeking a longer, forward-balanced setup.
