Showcase: Snooker Cued up
The latest line-up of snooker cues is elegant and sophisticated, using quality materials and striking designs. Yvonne Holberton highlights some of the new ranges
Riley Hybrid
Using a new breed of cue technology, shafts are available in either North American Ash or Warp Resistant Shielded (WAP) technology to keep the moisture out of the shaft. The Hybrid butt section is a moulded polyurethane grip, designed for enhanced traction control during the cueing action. The softer material also means there is less potential for moisture build-up during play.
RRP: from £73.57
