CT02/02/P English Pool Playing Cue 1 Piece 8.7mm - Set 2

CT02/02/P English pool playing cue with 1 piece construction and 8.7mm tip

CT02/02/P is the Chalky Trousers Second Edition Set 2 playing cue, built for English pool players who want a traditional full-length 1 piece feel, clear feedback and confident cue-ball control.

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 playing cue has a 1 piece construction, 8.7mm tip, brass ferrule, 18.2oz weight and 57.1" length. The butt features Thuya burl with purple and black veneers, creating a richer, darker contrast while retaining the natural figuring of the wood.

Built for match play

CT02/02/P is positioned as a playing cue, so the focus is regular match play, cue-ball control, touch and feel rather than repeated impact breaking.

The 8.7mm tip sits firmly within a familiar English pool playing range, balancing a precise contact point with a setup that should still feel familiar to regular UK 8-ball and league players.

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 choose a 1 piece playing cue?

A 1 piece cue keeps the construction full length with no main joint. Many players choose this format for its traditional feel, simplicity and direct feedback through the shot.

The trade-off is transport and storage, as it requires a full-length 1 piece cue case rather than a shorter jointed case.

Frequently asked questions

What tip size is good for English pool?

Tip size is personal, but many English pool players choose something in the high-8mm to low-9mm range. This cue has an 8.7mm tip, making it a familiar option for players who want control without moving to an especially fine tip.

How are Chalky Trousers 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 playing cue better?

It comes down to transport, storage and personal feel rather than one format being universally better. A 1 piece cue offers a traditional full-length feel, while a 3/4 joint cue is easier to carry.
