The joint positions provide different styles of cue. Two piece cues have the joint fitted in the centre whilst 3/4 jointed cues are available with the joint located 12", 14" or 16" from the butt and will accept an optional extension. Some cues now also feature butt end joints where an extension may be screwed directly into the end of the butt. All jointed Peradon cues feature solid brass 'Quick Action' joints, which release within a maximum of 1 1/2 turns.
