Description
The 1066 Billiards Valour 069 is a 3/4 jointed maple snooker cue that combines a lightweight construction with a pronounced forward balance. Unlike the traditional ash models in the Valour range, this individual cue features a maple shaft, offering a smooth, clean appearance and a distinctive alternative for players who prefer the character of maple.
At 58″ in length and weighing just 17.7oz, the Valour 069 offers familiar reach without the added weight of a heavier cue. Its 19″ balance point places a noticeable emphasis towards the front, creating a forward-oriented playing profile despite its lighter overall weight. The 9.5mm tip provides a traditional contact point for precise cue ball control, while the slimmer 29.9mm butt diameter encourages a relaxed grip and comfortable cue delivery.
Cue Features
Constructed from selected maple, the Valour 069 offers a smooth shaft finish and consistent feedback through the stroke. Its unique 8-splice butt design provides individual visual character while maintaining the refined, traditional styling of the Valour range. The 3/4 jointed construction delivers a strong, connected feel during play while allowing convenient transport and storage. A fitted butt-end thread allows compatibility with all 1066 Billiards extensions (sold separately).

Why Choose the Valour 069?
The Valour 069 offers an unusual combination of light overall weight and pronounced forward balance. Its 17.7oz weight keeps the cue responsive and manageable, while the 19″ balance point provides a distinctly forward-biased feel that will appeal to players who prefer natural movement through the cue ball rather than a rearward-weighted setup.
The maple shaft further distinguishes this model from the ash cues in the Valour collection, offering an alternative timber choice alongside its slimmer 29.9mm butt and traditional 58″ length. For players seeking a lightweight maple snooker cue with strong forward balance, the Valour 069 provides a distinctive combination of specifications and individual craftsmanship.
