Highlights

Why cues are stored upright

A leaning cue bends, and wood keeps the bend.

Twelve cues

Enough for a club room or a busy household, plus space for rest handles.

Vertical storage is not tidiness

A leaning cue bends under its own weight and warps permanently.

Floor standing

No fixings, and it can be moved - which suits a rented room or a table that might move.

Matters more in humidity

Wood holds whatever shape it is left in while the damp works on it.

Product description

About this product

Snooker Cue Rack – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.

A floor-standing wooden cue rack with twelve spaces.

There is a practical reason cue racks exist and it is not tidiness. A cue leaning against a wall is supported at only two points – the floor and the wall – and the length between them bends very slightly under the cue’s own weight. Left like that for weeks, wood takes a permanent set. That is how cues warp, and a warped cue cannot be straightened; it is finished as a playing cue.

A rack holds each cue vertically and supported, so nothing is bending. It is the single most effective thing you can do to make cues last.

That matters more here than in a temperate climate. Wood moves with moisture, and a cue being held in a slight bend while coastal humidity works on it will hold that bend far faster than one in a dry British club. Vertical storage, somewhere ventilated, out of direct sun – that is essentially the whole of cue care.

Twelve spaces is a club-room quantity, and it is worth having more spaces than cues: a table that gets used socially wants four or five cues so nobody is waiting, plus room for rest handles, which warp exactly as readily as cues do.

Floor standing rather than wall mounted means no fixings and the freedom to move it, which suits a rented room or a table that might not stay where it is.

Check your cues occasionally by rolling them on a flat table and watching the tip.

Questions

Good to know

Why store cues vertically?

Because a cue leaning against a wall is supported at two points and bends under its own weight, and wood takes a permanent set. That is how cues warp, and a warped cue cannot be put right. A rack holds it straight.

Does a rack matter in a humid climate?

More than in a dry one. Wood moves with moisture, and a cue that is being held in a slight bend while the humidity does its work will hold that bend. Vertical storage plus somewhere ventilated and out of direct sun is the whole of cue care.

How do I check whether a cue is warped?

Roll it on a flat table and watch the tip. A straight cue rolls smoothly; a warped one lifts and drops visibly. Do it when you buy a cue and occasionally afterwards.

Wall-mounted or floor standing?

Floor standing needs no fixing and can be moved, which suits a rented room or a table that might move. Wall-mounted saves floor space and cannot be knocked over. Both hold cues the same way.

How many cues does a room need?

More than you think. A table that gets used socially wants four or five cues so nobody is waiting, plus a rest handle or two. That is the reason twelve-space racks exist.

Should cue cases go in a rack too?

A cue in a closed case is already supported straight, so a case can lie flat on a shelf. What must not happen is a cue left loose against a wall, in or out of its case.

What length cue should I buy?

The standard is 57 to 58 inches, which suits most adults. If you are much taller than average, a 58 inch cue or an extension is worth having; for a child, a shorter cue is genuinely easier to control. The other question is joint: a one-piece cue plays best but does not travel, which is why most players use a two-piece or three-quarter jointed cue.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and send nationwide to Arusha, Moshi, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond by courier. A table is a heavy two-person item, so tell us when you order and we will arrange the right transport and talk through access.
