Potts Cues - Chinese 8 Ball Cues
Potts cues, high-quality Chinese 8 Ball production cues.
Who is Potts Cues?
Potts Cues takes direct inspiration from Gareth Potts, using his personal playing specifications to produce an authentic replica of his current chinese 8 ball cue. Gareth is widely regarded as one of the most successful 8‑ball players in history, both on and off the table
Gareth has dominated the world of 8‑ball for more than 25 years. Known for his consistency, cue‑ball control, and elite competitive mindset, he has become a global figure in both English 8‑ball and Heyball (Chinese 8‑ball). He currently serves as the Brand Ambassador for JOY Billiards, one of the world’s largest and most respected table manufacturers.
Career Highlights

- 5 x World 8ball champion (The only player to win at both rule sets, world rules and blackball rules)
- 3 x Heyball masters grand finals champion (Currently the only player to win 3)
- Duya legends Chinese 9ball winner
The Engineering behind the cue.
Standard cues often fail to meet the unique demands of Heyball:
- American Pool Cues: Large tips (12–14mm) lack the precision required for Heyball’s demanding rail shots and accuracy.
- Snooker Cues: Smaller tips (9–9.5mm) and thinner shafts lack the strength required to move the larger, heavier American-sized balls used in Heyball.
"The Potts Solution"
The Potts Cue provides the "Perfect Balance" through specialised specifications used by Gareth himself:
- Tip Size: 11.5mm—specifically scaled for the ball-to-pocket ratio of Heyball.
- Shaft Design: A proprietary taper engineered to generate maximum power and cue-ball control.
- Premium Components: Carbon fibre ferrule and a medium Kamui tip as standard.
- Calculated Deflection: Unlike "zero-deflection" cues that restrict a player's ability to "bend" or "throw" the ball, the Potts Cue retains a specific level of deflection. This allows professional players to manipulate side-spin and cheat angles, essential for high-level 8-ball play.
