Billiard cues(53)

Billiard cues on BidBil are listings from players, clubs and shops across Poland and Europe: new and used, in auctions, with "Buy Now" or as plain classifieds, with no selling commission. This page gathers two families of cues that differ in almost everything except length. Pool cues carry a 12–13 mm tip, a plastic or carbon ferrule, a joint at mid-length (3/8×10, 3/8×14, Uni-Loc, radial) and a maple or carbon shaft. Snooker cues are slimmer (9–10.5 mm tip), with a brass ferrule, an ash shaft with visible grain and a 3/4 joint that leaves a single piece of wood in your bridge hand.

For pool the most listed brands are Predator (Revo, P3, BK-Rush), Mezz (EC7, Axi, Power Break), Cuetec (AVID, Cynergy), Lucasi, Longoni, JFlowers and McDermott. Snooker is dominated by ash cues: Peradon, O'Min, Master Cue, John Parris and Polish custom makers. Separate sections hold break cues with a hard phenolic tip, jump cues and shafts sold without a butt, which upgrade an old cue for a fraction of the price of a new one.

How to choose? A beginner is fine with a complete cue for 70–200 EUR, a 12.5–13 mm tip and 19 oz weight, ideally used with a described condition and photos. A tournament player looks for a low-deflection shaft (Revo, Cynergy, WX Sigma) and a separate break cue. A snooker player starts with a 57-inch ash 3/4 cue, a 9.5–10 mm tip and 17–18 oz. Every listing shows condition, the seller's location and specs: tip diameter, joint type, weight and length. A used Predator or Mezz in good condition usually costs 30–50% less than new, and retipping or ferrule work is in the cue service section.
