Peradon Snooker Cues from TopCue
Peradon has an extensive and pristiegious history; being the manufacturer of signalling sticks to the Ministry of Defence in World War One. In 1977 Peradon teamed up with Fletcher and Son Ltd, whose deceased founder, E.L. Fletcher, was a World War One veteran himself and a chemist with a speciality of fixing leather tips to billiard cues.
The reputation of cues manufactured by Peradon has been acknowledged since the early days by such notable players as Walter Lindrum and Joe Davis, and continues to the present day. It is probably true that most, if not all, of top UK players have used a Peradon made cue. A board in the production directors office shows all the butt plates from Peradon cues endorsed over the years and is a veritable 'who's who' of Billiards and Snooker.
Snooker cues come in three main types. Below is a brief explanation of each to help you choose the right one:
- 3/4 Split Cues - By far our most popular selling cues, these are jointed three quarters of the way down the shaft. This takes the joint away from the line of sight and also enables you to screw on a butt extension for extra reach.
- 2 Piece Cues - These cues are jointed half way down the shaft so when unscrewed you have two equal pieces. As this produces two smaller sections it is easier to carry and store as the cases which fit them are a lot smaller, but you can't use a screw-in butt extension.
- 1 Piece Cues - These cues are one complete length without any joints.
