CT02/01/B English Pool Break Cue 1 Piece 11mm - Set 1

CT02/01/B English pool break cue with 1 piece construction and 11mm tip

CT02/01/B is the Chalky Trousers Second Edition Set 1 break cue, built for English pool players who want a dedicated full-length cue for the break shot.

The First Edition went better than expected, so the Second Edition keeps the same straightforward approach: carefully selected cues, clear specifications and proper preparation before release.

This English pool break cue has a 1 piece construction, 11mm tip, carbon ferrule, 20.5oz weight and 57" length. The butt uses Thuya burl with a yellow veneer, visually linking it to the matching Set 1 playing cue while keeping the break cue finish clean and purposeful.

For the matching playing cue from Set 1, see the CT02/01/P English Pool Playing Cue.

Built for breaking use

A dedicated break cue is there to do a specific job. It keeps your playing cue focused on normal match play, touch and cue-ball control, while the break cue handles the repeated impact of the opening shot.

At 20.5oz, it has a more planted setup than the matching playing cue. The 11mm tip and carbon ferrule keep the specification clearly focused on repeated break use rather than normal touch play.

Checked properly before it carries the badge

Every cue is supplied to Crafted Cues for full inspection and preparation before release. Nothing is dispatched without being properly checked, refined and made table-ready.

• The shaft is hand sanded and oiled
• The tip is professionally fitted
• The ferrule and overall construction are inspected
• Straightness and balance are checked
• The natural grain is enhanced and protected

Only once it meets the required standard does it carry the Chalky Trousers badge.

Why use a 1 piece break cue?

A 1 piece break cue keeps the construction full length with no main joint. It suits players who prefer a traditional one-piece feel and want a separate cue specifically for repeated break shots.

It will not fix the break on its own - timing, contact and control still matter. The trade-off is transport and storage, as a full-length cue requires a 1 piece cue case.

Frequently asked questions

Why use a break cue?

A dedicated break cue separates repeated power shots from your main playing cue. CT02/01/B has an 11mm tip, carbon ferrule and 20.5oz weight, with a specification focused specifically on the break.

How are Chalky Trousers break cues prepared before dispatch?

Every cue is supplied to Crafted Cues for inspection and preparation. The shaft is hand sanded and oiled, the tip is professionally fitted, the ferrule and construction are checked, and straightness and balance are inspected before dispatch.

Is a 1 piece or 3/4 joint break cue better?

That comes down to transport, storage and personal feel. A 1 piece cue offers a traditional full-length feel, while a 3/4 joint cue is easier to carry. Neither format replaces good timing and controlled contact on the break.
