One piece & Jointed cue

One piece and jointed cue for us this is an easy answer - 1 piece is the better cue to play with.

There are plus points to jointed cues. They are far more practical than 1 piece for travelling and if you like heavy cues then a jointed cue should be your preference as they are naturally heavier. For example, if you wanted about 20oz we would recommend a jointed cue as a 20oz jointed cue will tend to play better than a 20oz 1 piece cue.

Because of the natural heaviness jointed cues also tend to have more power to them but it's important to remember that power doesn't equal lots of spin. Power and spin are generated from a well-timed cue action.

Every joint is precision fitted for a perfect connection between the shaft and butt of the jointed cues.We do not use quick release joints in this position as we feel our tried and tested threaded joints can't be beaten for strength and reliability. Quick release joints are only used for extensions.                               

First of all the major factor why 1 piece cues are better than jointed is due to wood running right through the cue. The wood in a jointed cue is separated by a brass joint, on 1 piece cues the wood carries on through and you get so much extra feel through the cue, particularly on soft screw shots in and around the black spot. It makes cue ball positioning much easier.

The sound is a more natural woody sound (jointed cues sound more solid) and the natural balance with a 1 piece cue makes it feel like an extension of your arm.

Ultimately it's down to preference. If you have played with jointed cues all your life then a 1 piece cue may feel very unusual and the same goes vice versa. We feel 1 piece cues play better but the decision is mostly down to whether practicality or playablity is more important to you.
