Peradon
Founded in 1885 Peradon are the world's longest established cue manufacturing company, and were first to introduce the hand spliced cue. Peradon cues have been used by the game's greatest players including the legendary, Joe Davis.
Today the company is based in Liverpool and is one of only a few companies manufacturing cues in the U.K. Through their appointed stockists the company offers a superb selection of beautifully crafted cues for both snooker and eight ball pool.
Peradon cater for all players with their budget range of Cannon branded cues for the price conscious player and their own English made ranges of Peradon cues for the more serious players. Rigorous timber selection is of the utmost importance in the manufacture of quality cues: only timber with the correct grain structure and strength is used to create a Peradon cue. When it comes to timber selection Peradon have a distinct advantage as they process more ash than any other English cue maker.
Although many of the cue styles crafted by Peradon have remained unchanged for over one hundred years the company has also been working on innovations. The Laser cue has the appearance of a normal hand spliced cue however a revolutionary new composite material, Ebonex, is spliced to the butt rather than the traditional Ebony. Ebonex has a very consistent density and excellent 'feel' giving the cue improved playing characteristics. With good feedback from players the company sees Ebonex as a superb and green alternative to the traditional Ebony butt.
Working closely with the inventor, Neil Johnson, Peradon are shortly to launch a new style of cue, the Gravity cue. This is considered to be a big leap forward in snooker cue technology and to date it has won 6 awards for innovation having been tested and scientifically verified by John Moores University Engineering Department. The cue's unique keeled weighting system creates a 'hull like' heavy bottom along the base of the butt providing stability and discouraging wrist rotation and lateral movement of the arm, resulting in straighter, smoother, more powerful action and greater harmony between player and cue. Initial results have been extremely positive and Peradon are predicting a high demand for this new cue technology.
