About Dufferin Cues
About Dufferin Pool Cues
Dufferin built its name on one-piece bar cues before adding two-piece models, and both halves of that history are on this shelf. Quarter King's Dufferin selection holds 19 cues, all built from Canadian Hard Rock Maple, priced from about $80 up to about $230. The lineup breaks into the High Run and Commercial one-piece bar cues at the low end, an entry two-piece 2 PC House Series, a single loose nylon-wrap model (D-239), and two higher two-piece series, the 400 Series and 500 Series, distinguished mainly by wrap material and overlay design. Eighteen of the 19 cues are in stock; only the Commercial 57 inch one-piece cue is currently unavailable. The series names used below, 500 Series, 400 Series, and 2 PC House Series, come from an official Dufferin product catalogue that lists each line with matching model numbers, and current dealers still sell cues under the same names today, which lets us group cues that share the same construction tier even when a model number alone does not make that obvious.
Construction, in plain English
Every Dufferin cue on this shelf shares a Hard Rock Maple shaft, 13.00mm in diameter on all but the two-piece HIRUN3, which uses a 12.50mm shaft. What changes from line to line is the joint and the wrap. The High Run and Commercial cues are one-piece, four-prong construction with no joint to speak of, built to take constant handling on a house table. The 2 PC House Series and D-239 use a 5/16x18 joint, the standard thread size used across most of the pool cue market, paired with a nylon or wrapless handle. The 400 and 500 Series step up to a quick-release joint per their product descriptions, along with a linen, leather, or wrapless handle and an Everest tip. None of that changes how the cues are sold or serviced, but it does change how a cue feels in the hand and what it costs, and it is the reason two Dufferin cues at very different prices can still share the same shaft wood and diameter. Anyone new to these terms, joint, ferrule, taper, or wrap, can look them up in plain language on the glossary.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High Run one-piece | 5 (DF-HR21, DF-HR36, DF-HR42, DF-HR52, HIRUN3) | 13.00mm / 12.50mm maple | None (one-piece) / none listed | about $80-$90 | In stock |

High Run one-piece
The High Run line is Dufferin's original bar cue, sold today as five models: four true one-piece cues, the High Run 58 inch one-piece cue and three shorty variants, plus the two-piece HIRUN3, which carries the High Run name but ships as a two-piece cue with a 12.50mm shaft and four color variations in brown and tan. The one-piece models run about $80 to about $90 and share the four-prong construction and gold-stained finish that mark them as house cues built for a public table rather than a single owner.
Commercial one-piece
The Commercial 57 inch one-piece cue (DF-C18) is a separate one-piece line from High Run, at about $80, with a four-prong build and a UV finish described in the product listing as protecting against fading and warping. It is currently out of stock; we carry only this one SKU from the Commercial line, so there is no size or finish alternative on this shelf while it is unavailable.
2 PC House Series
The 2 PC House Series covers four models, D-231, D-232, D-233, and D-234, each named for its stain color: oxblood, dove grey, midnight black, and cherry. All four price at about $150, use a 5/16x18 joint, and carry a nylon wrap except D-233, which is wrapless. This is Dufferin's lowest-priced two-piece line at Quarter King, aimed at a buyer who wants a real two-piece cue without the wrap and overlay work of the 400 or 500 Series.
400 Series
Five cues make up the 400 Series: D-402, D-403, D-405, D-406, and D-408, each combining a black-stained forearm with a different wood or graphic overlay, from bocote and rengas to snakewood and malachite. All five price at about $200. Four carry a linen wrap; the Black and White Renga Wrapless Cue is the one wrapless model in the group. Product descriptions across the series note a quick-release joint and an Everest tip.
500 Series
The 500 Series tops Dufferin's range at Quarter King with three models, D-503, D-505, and D-507, all priced at about $230. The Blue Ridge Cue with Embossed Leather Wrap uses a lizard-embossed leather wrap, the Serpent's Edge Cue with Linen Wrap uses linen, and the Black Diamond Wrapless Cue (D-507) skips the wrap entirely for a painted handle. All three share the same quick-release joint and Everest tip called out in the 400 Series.
Colors and finishes across the shelf
Ten of the 19 Dufferin cues on this shelf ship in a black stain, spread across the 400 Series, the 500 Series, and the wrapless 2 PC House model. The rest of the 2 PC House Series covers cherry, dove grey, and a silver-toned oxblood finish, one color per model. The High Run one-piece cues share a single gold-toned stain across all four models, while the two-piece HIRUN3 offers brown or tan across its four size and color variations, the only Dufferin listing sold as a variable product rather than a fixed model, so its four color and size combinations are chosen at checkout instead of by browsing separate SKUs. The Commercial one-piece cue is the only listing without a named color, sold in its natural maple finish.
Joint, shaft and compatibility
Two joint styles cover this entire shelf. The High Run and Commercial cues are true one-piece construction, with no joint to match against other equipment. The 2 PC House Series and D-239 use a 5/16x18 joint, the same thread standard used across most of the pool cue market, which means a replacement shaft is not locked to the Dufferin name specifically. Every shaft on this shelf falls under our classic wood shaft type, sized at either 13.00mm across most of the range or 12.50mm on the HIRUN3. Players who eventually want a replacement or backup shaft can browse Quarter King's full shaft selection for options built to the same 5/16x18 thread.
Who Dufferin Pool Cues suits
This shelf serves two different buyers. The High Run and Commercial one-piece cues suit a bar, pool hall, or league that needs a durable house cue built to survive constant handling rather than a cue meant for one player. The two-piece lines suit an individual buyer instead. Someone who wants the lowest possible two-piece price point picks from the 2 PC House Series or D-239; someone who wants a wrap material and overlay design closer to what a mid-tier custom cue offers, without the custom price, moves up to the 400 or 500 Series. None of these lines are positioned as a tournament or pro-level cue, and Dufferin's own description of the High Run line, an industry standard bar cue for over 25 years, reflects that: this is a brand built for reliability and value rather than low-deflection shaft technology or hand-inlay work. A shopper cross-comparing series should weigh wrap material and overlay design first, since the underlying shaft and tip stay the same from the 400 Series up through the 500 Series.
Warranty and what to know
We could not find published brand-specific warranty terms for Dufferin cues on any page we accessed, so this section sticks to what we can confirm rather than guessing at coverage. Every order from Quarter King, Dufferin included, carries our standard 30-day return window, with the buyer responsible for return postage. Orders over $98 ship free, which applies to every two-piece Dufferin cue here and most of the one-piece bar cues as well. Because these are value-tier cues built for volume use, expect the nylon or linen wrap and the tip to wear first, well before the shaft or joint; that is ordinary wear rather than a manufacturing issue. Confirm current stock on the product page before ordering, since the Commercial 57 inch one-piece cue is out as of this writing and the HIRUN3 sells across four separate color and size variations that can sell through independently. None of the 19 Dufferin cues on this shelf currently carry a sale price; every listed price here is the regular price.

What Dufferin is known for
Dufferin is a value-tier, one-piece house cue brand best known for equipping pool halls, bars, and home game rooms rather than serious competitive players. Its current Hi-Run line is built from Canadian hardrock maple in traditional Sneaky Pete styling, with a simple four-point sleeve and no separate shaft/butt joint to loosen or warp over time. Cues run 57 inches long and are sold in fixed, non-changeable weights between 18 and 21 ounces, finished with a 12.5mm LePro tip and a 3/8-inch fiber ferrule. Dufferin's single-series lineup in this catalog covers the full house-cue price range, from basic to nicer weighted options, without branching into low-deflection shafts, carbon fiber, or custom inlay work aimed at serious players. It's a straightforward, no-frills option for anyone furnishing a table rather than chasing performance.
We currently stock 19 Dufferin items, from $79 to $229.

| Hi-Run One-Piece House Cues | $79 – $229 | Canadian hardrock maple one-piece cues in traditional Sneaky Pete styling for home tables and pool halls |

What players say about Dufferin
Consistently praised for
- Sturdy one-piece build with nothing to loosen or warp at a joint
- Simple, traditional Sneaky Pete look fits any pool hall or game room
- Priced squarely as a house cue, not oversold as a performance product
- Widely used as reliable rack cues that hold up to heavy public use
Common criticisms
- No low-deflection shaft or performance features; this is a basic maple house cue
- Fixed weight means players can't fine-tune feel like they can with a two-piece cue
- One-piece length makes it less convenient to transport or store than a jointed cue
- Warranty terms are not published, so buyers should confirm coverage with the retailer before buying
Also worth a look at this price
If you like where Dufferin sits on price but want to compare before you commit, these land in the same range:
- Valley — another classic one-piece bar and house cue brand
- Action — a two-piece budget option for players who want a joint and interchangeable shaft

Frequently asked questions about Dufferin Cues
How many Dufferin pool cues does Quarter King stock?
19, spanning the High Run and Commercial one-piece bar cues, the 2 PC House Series, a single loose model, and the 400 and 500 Series, priced from about $80 to about $230.
Which Dufferin series is the best value?
The 2 PC House Series (D-231, D-232, D-233, D-234) is our lowest-priced two-piece line at about $150, with a nylon or wrapless handle and a 5/16x18 joint.
What shaft size do Dufferin cues use?
Eighteen of our 19 Dufferin cues carry a 13.00mm Hard Rock Maple shaft; the two-piece HIRUN3 uses a 12.50mm shaft instead.
Can I use a different brand's shaft on a two-piece Dufferin cue?
Only if the joint pin and thread match. The 2 PC House Series and D-239 use a 5/16x18 joint, a common standard, so check our joint type and shaft size pages before buying a replacement shaft.
Do the 400 and 500 Series share the same construction?
Both use a Hard Rock Maple shaft, a quick-release joint, and an Everest tip per their product descriptions; the main differences are wrap material and overlay design, about $200 versus about $230.
