Description
The 1066 Billiards Valour 045 is a 3/4 jointed ash snooker cue designed for players who prefer extra length with a solid, slightly forward-balanced feel. At 60″ in length, this cue provides additional reach, while its 18″ balance point moves the playing feel towards the front without becoming as pronounced as some of the more strongly forward-balanced cues in the Valour range.
At 18.4oz, the Valour 045 has enough weight to feel stable and composed through the stroke, complementing its longer overall length. The 9.5mm tip provides a familiar contact point for accurate cue ball control, while the 30.3mm butt diameter gives the cue a fuller grip in the hand. Together, these specifications create a substantial longer cue with a smooth, steady delivery.
Cue Features
Constructed from selected ash, the Valour 045 provides dependable feedback and a consistent response across all areas of play. Its unique 8-splice butt design gives this individual cue its own appearance while maintaining the traditional character of the Valour range. The 3/4 jointed construction provides a strong, connected feel through the stroke while making its 60″ length practical for transport. A fitted butt-end thread allows compatibility with all 1066 Billiards extensions (sold separately).

Why Choose the Valour 045?
The Valour 045 is particularly suited to players who need or prefer the additional reach of a 60″ snooker cue but still want a controlled, substantial feel. Its 18.4oz weight provides stability, while the 18″ balance point introduces a forward bias that helps the cue travel smoothly through the shot.
Its 30.3mm butt is also among the fuller grip profiles, complementing the longer length and giving the cue a reassuring presence in the cueing hand. The result is a Valour with a distinctive combination of extra reach, solid weight, forward balance and a fuller traditional grip.
