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.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCue Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCue Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCue Type: 3\/4 jointed\u003cbr\u003eShaft Material: Ash\u003cbr\u003eTip Size: 9.5mm\u003cbr\u003eLength: 59″\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 17.8oz\u003cbr\u003eButt Diameter: 30.1mm\u003cbr\u003eBalance Point: 19″\u003cbr\u003eButt Extension Thread: Fitted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose the Valour 044?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"thesnookershop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45773570637933,"sku":null,"price":565.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/8947\/5949\/files\/IMG-1127_4f3e80d6-0e0c-4362-b2cd-20639427d215.heic?v=1788495597","url":"https:\/\/thesnookershop.com.au\/products\/1066-billiards-valour-044-3-4-9-5mm-59-17-8oz","provider":"The Snooker Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
