Details

Design details

Billiards cue weight
Your pool cue weighs 540 g (19 oz). We cannot guarantee that the cue will be a precise weight (margin of 10%) since the density of wood varies (even within the same timber species) depending on the forest, its exposure to sunlight and the section harvested (truck, crown, treetop).
Cue dimensions
The BC 900 US cue is 145 cm (57 inches) long. This is the standard length for billiards cues. The length will let you get into the proper position for all your shots. For longer shots, add the extension for an extra 10 cm. Go from 145 cm to 155 cm in seconds.
Billiards cue balance
The cue has a 51 cm balance, which means that the balance point is 51 cm from the butt. If you use an open bridge, the balance point should be in front of your grip; otherwise, the cue will come off the top of your hand. The balance point is not especially important aside from being a matter of personal preference. A balance point that is further back will give you a feeling of heaviness; if it is further up on the cue, the cue will feel lighter.
Why can't we guarantee the straightness of our billiards cues?
All of our billiards cues are manufactured. Straightness is checked individually, cue by cue, as they leave the factory. Nevertheless, changes in temperature and humidity during the transportation, storage and selling stages can affect their straightness over time. This consistency problem affects all billiards cues on the market, at least all wooden cues (maple, ash, poplar, ramin).
Why maple?
Maple is a particularly solid, robust wood that can be easily shaped. It can therefore be used to manufacture conical cue shafts (French, American). Historically, pool cues have been made from maple because it was (and still is) a widely available type of wood in North America (Canada). We continue to make our cues, including our carom billiards cues, from this wood due to the raw material being easily accessible.
Physical properties of maple and technical data
Maple has a density of 0.64 and a Monnin hardness of 4.7, making it a medium-hard wood. This species has a breaking stress under compression value of 55 MPa and a static bending value of 100 MPa. The longitudinal modulus of elasticity is 13,000 MPa. These are average measurements that can be found online. Maple is a solid, robust wood that makes it an excellent choice for manufacturing billiards cues.
How to maintain your billiards cue
To preserve the playing quality and straightness of your wooden cue for as long as possible, we recommend storing it in a protective cover or dedicated case. You can also store it vertically in a cue rack, but never lean it against a wall: doing so can cause it to warp.And yes, your billiards cue is made from wood and is therefore sensitive to temperature changes and moisture.
DID YOU KNOW?You need to maintain the tip of your pool cue.
The tip of your billiards cue may become unglued with time, but don't panic. This happens after repetitive impacts with balls. You just need to change the tip, which is easy to do: 1. Remove the damaged tip 2. Rough up the new tip with sandpaper 3. Glue on the new tip 4. Work the tip into shape There's a video showing you how to do this on our support website
Why does this cue come in two parts?
Your pool cue unscrews into 2 parts halfway down the shaft to make it easier to transport. The steel joint keeps the 2 parts firmly connected so you won't be able to tell you're playing with a 2-part cue. And with its ultra-quick screw thread, you can assemble and disassemble your cue in just a couple turns.
What is the bumper at the end of the butt for?
The heel of the butt (the part that you place on the ground!) is made of rubber: no chance of damaging the cue or the floor when waiting to take your next shot!
Benefits of a fibre ferrule
The ferrule, a cylindrical piece at the end of the shaft, protects the cue from repetitive impacts, when breaking for example. It also connects the shaft to the tip. It's often made from white plastic, brass, or (rarely) stainless steel and other materials like titanium. We have opted for a more robust, fibre design. Plus, a fibre ferrule reduces deflection (hitting off-centre of the cue ball, changing its trajectory).
Tip from the team: aiming in billiards
Visualize the spots you want to hit on the cue ball and target ball, then focus on this sight line. Watch the end of your cue when warming up your stroke to ensure that it will hit the right spot on the cue ball. Your gaze should go from the cue ball to the target ball, then back to the cue ball. For even greater accuracy, you can position your head above the cue.
What is the difference between pool and English billiards?
English billiards is recognizable by its yellow and red balls, while pool is played with larger, numbered and coloured balls. English billiards uses a smaller table with narrower pockets than pool tables. Lastly, English billiards is a more defensive game while pool favours offensive play.
