FEATURES: 

• Limited Edition: Limited small batch run of only 50 cues. Each Cue comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Birdseye Maple is often used in high-end cue construction for its durability and beauty, providing a stable foundation while adding an elegant aesthetic appeal.
• Handle and Sleeve: The handle and sleeve are made of black urethane, which gives the cue a sleek and modern look. Urethane is a highly durable material, resistant to wear and tear, while also offering a smooth, comfortable grip for players.

  • Abalone: A shell material prized for its vibrant, iridescent colors.
  • Pewter: Offering a subtle metallic sheen that adds a sophisticated touch.
  • Snakewood: Known for its exotic look with a dense, reddish-brown hue and irregular patterns, making the design even more unique.
  • White and Black Urethane: These inlays add a stark, high-contrast visual appeal, enhancing the overall complexity of the design.
• Ringwork: The cue is accented with silver and abalone index rings, strategically placed to highlight the transitions between different parts of the cue. These rings serve as decorative elements, breaking up the black urethane while adding flashes of color and elegance.
