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.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCue Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from selected ash, the Valour 045 provides dependable feedback and a consistent response across all areas of play.
