Description
The 1066 Billiards Valour 044 is a 3/4 jointed ash snooker cue that combines a lighter overall weight with a distinctly forward-balanced playing profile. At 59″ in length with a 19″ balance point, this model offers additional reach while carrying more of its feel towards the front, helping the cue flow naturally through the stroke.
At 17.8oz, the Valour 044 remains relatively light despite its longer length and forward balance. The 9.5mm tip provides a familiar contact point for controlled cue ball play, while the 30.1mm butt diameter gives the cue a comfortable, traditional grip. This combination creates a responsive cue with natural forward movement, without relying on additional overall weight to generate momentum through the shot.
Cue Features
Constructed from selected ash, the Valour 044 delivers consistent feedback and a predictable response across different areas of play. Its unique 8-splice butt design gives this individual cue its own visual character while retaining the traditional styling of the Valour range. The 3/4 jointed construction provides a strong, connected feel through the stroke while making the longer cue practical for transport. A fitted butt-end thread allows compatibility with all 1066 Billiards extensions (sold separately).

Why Choose the Valour 044?
The Valour 044 offers an appealing combination for players who want extra reach and pronounced forward balance without moving to a heavier cue. Its 59″ length provides additional reach around the table, while the 19″ balance point encourages smooth forward movement through the cue ball.
What distinguishes the 044 is how that forward-biased profile is paired with a relatively light 17.8oz weight. Rather than feeling heavy or overly planted, it should suit players looking for a cue that feels responsive in the hand while still carrying naturally through the shot.
