Cues (single piece cues)

The Snooker Shop has been trading for over 40 years and our knowledgeable staff can provide you with all the advice and assistance in the shop to buy the ideal cue to suit your standard and budget for yourself or as a present for a keen snooker player.

If you are a player, the best way to pick a cue is to try it for yourself and find one you are comfortable with. The Snooker Shop in Manchester stocks approximately 1000 cues from cheaper mass produced cues made in the UK and China as well as more bespoke cues made by dedicated craftsmen producing no more than 100 cues per year. We stock all major brands and believe this to be possibly the widest selection of cues available for you to try and buy anywhere in the world.

Our prices are probably the best you will find anywhere too, allowing you to walk away the same day with the right cue at the right price.
