Description
The 1066 Billiards Earl 013 is a premium 2-piece ash snooker cue offering a more traditional 58″ playing length combined with the convenience of a centre joint. Designed for players who want a high-quality 2-piece snooker cue rather than an entry-level alternative, the Earl 013 delivers a solid, connected feel with individual specifications that give it its own distinct playing character.
At 18.6oz, the Earl 013 sits at a substantial but versatile playing weight, while its 19″ balance point produces a clearly forward-balanced feel. This combination gives the cue good presence through the stroke, with the weight positioned to encourage a controlled, positive delivery and stability through contact with the cue ball.
A 9.5mm tip provides the familiar precision and versatility suited to snooker, while the 30.4mm butt gives the cue a reassuringly substantial feel in the hand. The detailed 8-slice butt design completes the Earl 013 with an individual finish while retaining the traditional character of a quality ash snooker cue.
Cue Features
The Earl 013 is made from selected ash, providing the natural feedback and responsive playing feel that has long made ash the preferred shaft material for snooker cues. Its 2-piece centre-joint construction allows the cue to break down conveniently for transport while maintaining the solid connection and continuity expected from a premium playing cue.
Its combination of a traditional 58″ length, 18.6oz weight and 19″ balance point gives the Earl 013 a strong, composed playing profile. The individual 8-slice butt construction adds visual depth and character, ensuring the cue stands apart while remaining unmistakably traditional in its overall presentation.

Why Choose the Earl 013?
The Earl 013 is an excellent option for players who prefer the familiar proportions of a 58″ snooker cue but want a relatively forward-balanced setup with some additional weight behind the stroke. At 18.6oz with a 19″ balance point, it offers a stable and deliberate feel without moving into an unusually heavy playing weight.
For players specifically searching for a quality 2-piece snooker cue, the Earl series provides an alternative to the basic centre-joint cues commonly available. The Earl 013 combines selected ash, premium construction and individual playing specifications in a practical 2-piece format that is stocked, finished and ready to play.
