The ash in the Peradon Chester Hand Spliced Snooker Cue is carefully selected for strength and straightness before the finest, genuine Ebony butt timber is spliced to the cue by hand and the cue is shaped to produce the distinctive four round point pattern of a hand spliced cue.

A Zebrano front splice and Sycamore and Light blue veneer is then spliced to the butt section to further enhance the appearance.In order to reduce stress to the timbers the cue is then shaped over a period of time until the final tapered shape is achieved, after which the numerous sanding and finishing processes are then undertaken to achieve a 'silk smooth' finish.

To eliminate joint problems the two sections of the 'quick action' joint are each precision turned from a single piece of solid brass and precisely fitted 12" from the butt end to give the shaft length of 46". A stunning ebony and rosewood composite with red, black and sycamore effect patterning is then spliced to the Ebony butt. In order to reduce stress to the timbers the cue is then shaped over a period of time until the final tapered shape is achieved, after which the numerous sanding and finishing processes are then undertaken to achieve a 'silk smooth' finish.

Peradon snooker cues undergo many weeks of preparation. The wood is first kiln dried to avoid warping before any other work begins. All woods are hand selected and they are finished to exacting standards to give you the 'feel' you need in a top quality cue.

Peradon cues are the oldest in the world. Their snooker cues have been used by the greatest players in the world. None more famous than the legendary Joe Davis. He also gave Peradon sole rights to use his name on their cues. Peradon were also responsible for the introduction and manufacture of Hand-Spliced cues. The majority of the world's leading professionals and amateur players will only use a hand spliced snooker cue.

Only the finest quality North American ash is used in Peradon's high-end cues. Shafts are hand selected with only a small percentage of the pieces processed making the grade for production of these cues. In order to maintain the highest standards of selection Peradon purchase more ash than any other English cue makers. For the highest quality hand spliced cues such as this, the selection process is even more rigorous.
