ResetA classic billiard cue is a cue built specifically for Russian billiards — we use the two terms interchangeably. This sets it apart from American pool cues and snooker cues, which differ in weight, length and tip diameter.
How a Russian billiard cue differs
The specifics of Russian billiards — heavy balls and tight pockets — call for a heavier, thicker cue than what's used in pool:
| Parameter | Classic (Russian billiards) | American pool | Snooker |
|---|---|---|---|
| Length | ~140-145 cm | ~145 cm | ~145 cm |
| Weight | ~750-850 g | ~570 g | ~510-540 g |
| Tip diameter | ~3 mm | ~12-13 mm | ~9-10 mm |
| Construction | Usually 2-piece | 2 or 3-piece | 2-piece |
How to choose
When choosing a cue, the weight balance in hand and the quality of the wood matter most — they determine stroke stability. A well-balanced, straight cue directly affects play accuracy.
