Junior and short snooker and pool cues from Britannia, made for younger players and for those awkward shots where a full-size cue won’t fit. Choose from 44″, 48″, 52″ and 54″ lengths in one-piece, two-piece and ¾-jointed styles, all with a 9.5mm tip and a brass ferrule.
A full-size 57″ cue is too long for many younger players, and on a smaller table or in a tight corner it can get in the way. Our junior and short cues give you the same Britannia quality in a length that suits the player and the space.
The Britannia Champion Junior cue comes in 44″ and 54″ lengths. It has an ash shaft, a naturally weighted ebonised butt and a long pin brass ¾ joint, making it a proper first cue for a young player. An optional mini butt is available separately.
The Britannia Club short cues come in 48″ and 52″ one-piece versions and a 48″ two-piece, centre-jointed version that undoes to just 24″ for easy carrying. Each one is made from seasoned North American ash with a weighted wooden butt, a leather glue tip and a protective leather buffer on the base.
Short cues are also a handy extra for adult players. Keep one in your case or by the table for shots tight against the cushion, or for when the wall is too close to the table for a full-size cue.
The cue should suit the player’s height and the size of the table. As a rough guide, the 44″ cue suits younger children and the 48″ to 54″ lengths suit older children and teenagers. A full-size 57″ cue is usually right once they reach adult height.
Yes. All our junior and short cues have a 9.5mm tip, which works well on both snooker and English pool tables.
Short cues are for shots where a full-size cue won’t fit, such as when the wall or furniture is close to the table. Many players also keep one for tight shots around the cushion.
A one-piece cue has no joint, so it feels solid and simple. A two-piece or ¾-jointed cue comes apart, which makes it easier to carry and store in a case.
The Champion Junior cue can take a mini butt, sold separately, which adds a little extra length. Once they’ve outgrown it, a full-size cue is the next step.
