PowerGlide ASAS Professional Ash Snooker Cue

The PowerGlide ASAS is a 2-piece snooker cue made from straight-grain ash with an ebonised hand-spliced butt and brass quick-release joint. It's designed for committed players who want competitive-level performance without the bulk of a full-length cue.

Who it's for

Players who practise regularly and need a cue that breaks down for easy transport and storage. Suits those looking for a step above entry-level without the premium price tag.

Pros

• 2-piece construction breaks down compactly for travel and compact storage
• Straight-grain kiln-dried ash shaft is a reliable, traditional choice for consistent play
• Hand-spliced ebonised butt helps with weight distribution and shot control
• Brass quick-release joint minimises vibration and allows decent energy transfer
• Portable enough for club play without carrying a full cue case

Cons

• 2-piece joints never feel identical to a one-piece cue; you may notice slight play or feel differences between sessions
• Hand-spliced joints can be durable but require careful handling and regular maintenance to keep tight
• No information given on overall weight, balance point, or tip size
• Ebonised finishes can mark and need occasional care to maintain appearance

What to check before buying

• Confirm the tip size and type (whether replaceable or fitted)
• Check the overall weight and balance point suit your playing style
• Verify the joint tightness and whether replacement ferrules are available
• Ask the seller about returns or warranty if the joint rattles when assembled
• Look for details on shipping; a 2-piece cue is better protected in transit than a full-length one
