Description
The 1066 Billiards Earl 008 is a premium 2-piece ash snooker cue designed for players who prefer the practicality of a centre joint while still wanting the feel and playing characteristics of a serious performance cue. At 60″ in length, it offers additional reach and a long, composed setup that will particularly appeal to players comfortable with a longer cue.
Weighing 18.2oz, the Earl 008 combines its relatively moderate overall weight with a distinctly forward balance point of 20″. This gives the cue a strong sense of presence through the front of the stroke, encouraging a smooth, deliberate delivery while retaining good stability through the cue ball.
The 9.5mm tip provides a versatile contact point suited to modern snooker play, while the 30.3mm butt gives the Earl 008 a substantial feel in the bridge hand. Its detailed 8-slice butt design adds individuality to the cue while maintaining the traditional appearance expected from a quality ash snooker cue.
Cue Features
The Earl 008 is constructed from selected ash, providing the natural feedback, response and familiar feel preferred by many snooker players. Its 2-piece centre-joint construction makes the cue convenient to transport while maintaining a solid connection through the cue and avoiding the compromised feel often associated with basic 2-piece cues.
Its 60″ length, 18.2oz weight and pronounced 20″ forward balance combine to create a distinctive playing profile. The detailed 8-slice butt construction completes the cue with a refined finish and gives each Earl its own character within the 1066 Billiards range.
