BCE
Peradon Tournament Cue
Phat Line Cues
Phat line cues have been engineered with a larger tip than standard cues, which serves to increase the size of the ‘sweet spot’ when striking the cue ball. BCE says one of the major reasons for missed pots is the application of unintended side by striking the cue ball off centre during the cueing action. By minimising this, the Phat line cues can increase the pot percentage of any player and help them achieve larger breaks.

Peradon says players choosing a cue have more knowledge now of what it is they want and demand more from a cue, with balancing points, rigidity and finish being important. This cue has an ash shaft with a four-point rosewood butt, and a coloured veneer and ash front splice.
