Description
The 1066 Billiards Valour 048 is a 3/4 jointed ash snooker cue that combines a lighter weight with extra reach and a clearly forward-balanced feel. At 59″ in length and just 17.7oz, this model remains light and responsive, while its 18.25″ balance point gives the cue natural forward movement through the stroke.
With a 9.5mm tip, the Valour 048 provides a familiar contact point for accurate cue ball control. The 30.1mm butt diameter offers a comfortable, traditional grip without adding unnecessary bulk, complementing the cue’s lighter overall weight. Its combination of length and forward balance provides useful reach while maintaining an easy-moving feel through the delivery.
Cue Features
Constructed from selected ash, the Valour 048 delivers consistent feedback and a predictable response across all 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 maintains 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 048?
The Valour 048 stands out for combining a relatively light 17.7oz weight with a longer 59″ length. This gives players additional reach without the heavier feel often associated with longer cues, making it particularly suitable for those who want length while retaining a responsive cueing action.
Its 18.25″ balance point adds a definite forward bias, helping the cue carry smoothly through the cue ball despite its lighter overall weight. Combined with the comfortable 30.1mm butt and individual 8-splice design, the Valour 048 offers a distinctive balance of reach, responsiveness and forward movement.
