Features

• The forearm is crafted from Birdseye maple, a wood known for its unique, eye-catching grain pattern. The name "Birdseye" comes from the tiny, swirling knots that resemble a bird's eye scattered across the wood's surface. This distinctive pattern not only adds a touch of luxury but also signifies a high-quality, durable wood that’s perfect for billiard cues. Birdseye maple is highly sought after for its strength, stability, and the natural beauty it brings to the cue.
• The handle and sleeve are made from black urethane, a material chosen for its durability and smooth finish. Urethane provides a sleek, modern look while ensuring that the cue remains resilient against wear and tear. Its matte black finish contrasts beautifully with the intricate inlays and the polished Birdseye maple, creating a sophisticated visual appeal.
• The cue features six sets of intricate rotational rings and inlays that add to its luxury and craftsmanship. These inlays are composed of Birdseye maple, Blue River Agate, pewter, snakewood, and black urethane. Each material is meticulously chosen for its unique color and texture, creating a striking pattern that wraps around the cue. The combination of these elements not only enhances the visual appeal but also reflects the artisan skill involved in crafting the cue.
• The Blue River Agate inlays bring a natural, earthy feel to the design. Agate is a semiprecious stone known for its soothing energy and beautiful, layered patterns. The blue hues of the agate complement the natural tones of the Birdseye maple and the deep black of the urethane, adding a pop of color that’s both calming and striking.
• Snakewood, another luxurious material used in the inlays, is known for its distinctive pattern that resembles snake scales. It is one of the rarest and most expensive woods in the world, prized for its rich color and unique texture. The inclusion of snakewood in the cue speaks to its exclusivity and high-end craftsmanship.
• The cue is further adorned with Silver and Blue River Agate index rings. These rings act as markers that not only provide visual balance but also enhance the overall design by tying together the different materials used throughout the cue. The silver adds a touch of elegance, while the Blue River Agate continues the theme of natural beauty and luxury.
• The i-Pro Slim shaft is designed for performance. It’s a laminated shaft that combines the latest in cue technology with traditional craftsmanship. The 12mm size is ideal for players seeking a slimmer shaft, offering a comfortable grip and increased control. The shaft also features six matching inlaid points that mirror the intricate design elements found on the rest of the cue, ensuring a cohesive and balanced appearance.
• The cue is equipped with Navigator Alpha Pro Tips, which are known for their superior performance and consistency. These tips are designed to provide excellent grip on the cue ball, allowing for precise control and spin. The tips are also durable, ensuring that they maintain their performance characteristics over time.
• The cue features a quick release joint, allowing for easy and fast assembly or disassembly. This type of joint is preferred by many players for its convenience and secure fit, ensuring that the cue remains stable during play.
