Description
The 1066 Billiards Valour 040 is a 3/4 jointed ash snooker cue designed for players who prefer a lighter cue with a controlled, slightly rearward balance. At 17.6oz with a 17″ balance point, this model feels responsive in the hand without becoming overly lively, making it well suited to players who favour a lighter and more manageable cue.
At 57″ in length with a 9.5mm tip, the Valour 040 has a slightly more compact overall profile with a familiar contact point for controlled cue ball play. The 30mm butt diameter provides a comfortable, traditional grip, while the lighter weight and 17″ balance point combine to keep the cue easy to move and controlled throughout the delivery.
Cue Features
Constructed from selected ash, the Valour 040 provides clear feedback and a consistent response through the cue ball. Its unique 8-splice butt design gives this individual cue its own character while retaining the traditional styling of the Valour range. The 3/4 jointed construction maintains a strong, connected feel through the stroke while offering practical portability. A fitted butt-end thread allows compatibility with all 1066 Billiards extensions (sold separately).

Why Choose the Valour 040?
The Valour 040 is particularly suited to players who prefer a lighter snooker cue without moving towards a strongly forward-balanced setup. Its 17.6oz weight makes it responsive and easy to accelerate, while the 17″ balance point keeps the feel slightly closer to the cueing hand for controlled movement through the shot.
With its 57″ length and comfortable 30mm butt, the Valour 040 offers a compact, well-proportioned setup for players who value manoeuvrability and a lighter touch. Its individual 8-splice design adds a distinctive finish to a cue built around an accessible, controlled playing profile.
