Description
The 1066 Billiards Royal 074 FS is an exceptional full shaft 1-piece cue, crafted from hand-selected A++ grade ash and featuring a precision 9.1mm tip. As part of the flagship Royal FS series, this cue represents the highest level of timber selection, craftsmanship and playing quality within the 1066 Billiards range, combining traditional construction with the refined specifications demanded by serious cue sports players.
At 57″ and 17.4oz, the Royal 074 FS offers a particularly light and responsive playing profile. Its 17″ balance point provides a near-neutral feel with a subtle rearward bias, allowing the cue to move freely through the stroke without excessive front-end weight. Combined with a slim 29.9mm butt diameter and the finer 9.1mm tip, this model is especially appealing to players who favour precision, delicate cue-ball control and a lighter cue for both snooker and English pool.
Cue Features
The Royal 074 FS is crafted from hand-selected A++ grade ash, selected for its exceptional grain quality, natural character and suitability for a high-performance traditional cue. The carefully finished ash shaft provides a smooth passage through the bridge hand, while its natural grain structure delivers the distinctive appearance and tactile feedback associated with premium ash cues.
Its uninterrupted 1-piece full shaft construction maintains a continuous timber structure from tip to butt, providing the direct connection and natural feedback that distinguish a traditional full shaft cue. This construction is fundamental to the Royal FS range and reflects our belief in the importance of quality materials and uncompromising craftsmanship.
The 9.1mm tip offers a slightly finer contact profile than the more traditional 9.5mm snooker tip, making the Royal 074 FS a versatile option for players who enjoy both snooker and English pool. Paired with a titanium ferrule, the front-end construction provides durability and a crisp, responsive striking feel, particularly suited to controlled positional play, delicate touch shots and accurate cue-ball manipulation.
A fitted butt-end thread is included as standard and accepts compatible 1066 Billiards cue extensions, available separately.
