Description
The 1066 Billiards Royal 076 FS is an exceptional full shaft 1-piece snooker cue crafted from carefully selected premium maple. As part of the flagship Royal FS series, this cue embodies the quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail that define the very highest level of the 1066 Billiards range. Offering a distinctive alternative to traditional ash, the Royal 076 FS combines the smooth characteristics of maple with the direct feedback and natural connection of an uninterrupted full shaft construction.
Measuring 57″ and weighing 17.7oz, the Royal 076 FS offers a relatively light, responsive playing profile with a distinctly rearward balance. Its 16.5″ balance point places the weight closer to the butt, creating a cue that should feel particularly manoeuvrable through the cueing action. Combined with a 30.1mm butt diameter, this model provides a comfortable, reassuring grip while retaining the effortless handling favoured by players who prefer a lighter snooker cue.
Cue Features
The Royal 076 FS is crafted from carefully selected premium maple, a timber valued for its smooth, uniform appearance and refined playing characteristics. Unlike the pronounced grain patterns of traditional ash, maple offers a cleaner, more understated shaft finish, making it particularly appealing to players who prefer a consistent visual appearance when sighting along the cue.
The traditional 1-piece full shaft construction maintains an uninterrupted timber structure from tip to butt, delivering the direct feedback and natural response that distinguish the Royal FS series. With no conventional shaft joint, the cue preserves the continuous feel of the timber throughout the stroke, allowing players to develop a close connection with their cueing action.
A 9.5mm tip is paired with a titanium ferrule, providing a durable, precise front-end construction with a crisp and responsive striking feel. The combination of premium maple, lighter overall weight and rearward balance makes the Royal 076 FS particularly appealing for delicate cue-ball control, controlled positional play and players who favour a fluid, relaxed cue delivery.
A fitted butt-end thread is included as standard and accepts compatible 1066 Billiards cue extensions, available separately.

Why Choose the Royal 076 FS?
The Royal FS range represents the very foundation of The Snooker Shop and our belief in what the finest traditional snooker cues should deliver. Exceptional timber selection, full shaft construction and individually considered specifications are central to this philosophy, producing cues that we believe stand among the best available anywhere in the world.
The Royal 076 FS offers a particularly attractive option for players who prefer maple over ash. Its smooth shaft finish, 57″ length and relatively light 17.7oz weight create a refined playing experience, while the rearward 16.5″ balance point gives it a distinctive handling characteristic compared with more forward-balanced cues.
The 30.1mm butt provides a comfortable grip without making the cue feel overly substantial, resulting in a well-considered combination of lightness, control and traditional craftsmanship. For players seeking a premium maple snooker cue with responsive handling and the uninterrupted feel of a genuine full shaft construction, the Royal 076 FS is an outstanding choice.
Each Royal FS cue is individually listed with its exact specifications, allowing players to select the particular weight, length, balance point and butt diameter that best suit their playing style.
