What is the best material for billiard cues
2023-04-25
The material used for the front branches of good cues comes from the northeastern United States (the border between the USA and Canada), where the slow growth of the trees due to the cold zone makes them very strong, dense and tough, making them ideal for the production of billiard cues. Ash is used for cues with a grain, while maple is used for cues without a grain. The material used for the back handle of the cue is sandalwood.
The best cues are made from older woods. The choice of material for the clubs is very demanding. The only wood that is ideal for a tree several dozen metres high is that located in the middle of the tree, between the bark and the heart of the tree. Because this part of the wood is very rare, it is very valuable.
Differences between ash and maple
Ash wood is relatively hard, while maple is more flexible. Most of the cues used for snooker are ash, as the snooker table is relatively large and
Harder clubs are more stable when hitting long range shots. This is because the table is relatively small, the ball is large and fast, and the ball is different from snooker, which emphasises the spin of the white ball and is more suitable for the tougher maple.
Ebony handle
Sandalwood is used for the back handle of professional clubs because it is very hard and dense, and its weight is much higher than maple and ash wood in the same volume.
