Features:

• Birdseye Maple Forearm: The forearm of this cue is crafted from Birdseye maple, a premium wood that is highly sought after for its unique and captivating grain pattern. The "Birdseye" effect consists of small, swirling knots that resemble tiny eyes scattered across the surface of the wood, creating a visually stunning appearance. Beyond its beauty, Birdseye maple is renowned for its strength and durability, making it an excellent choice for a cue that needs to withstand the rigors of intense play while maintaining a refined look.
• Black Urethane Handle/Sleeve: The handle and sleeve of the cue are made from black urethane, providing a sleek, modern contrast to the natural elegance of the Birdseye maple. Urethane is chosen for its durability and smooth finish, offering a comfortable grip that is resistant to wear and tear. The deep black color of the urethane complements the intricate inlays and rings, adding a touch of sophistication to the cue’s overall design.
• 6 Sets of Intricate Rotational Rings & Inlays: The cue features six sets of rotational rings and inlays that showcase a meticulous blend of materials, including Birdseye maple, green malachite, brass, snakewood, and black urethane. These inlays are arranged in a rotational pattern around the handle and sleeve, adding a layer of complexity and artistry to the cue.
• Green Malachite: The use of green malachite, a semi-precious stone known for its rich, vibrant green color and distinctive banding patterns, adds a pop of color and an element of luxury to the cue. Malachite is not only visually striking but also carries a sense of timeless elegance.
• Brass: The brass inlays bring a warm, metallic sheen to the design, providing a classic contrast to the cooler tones of the green malachite and the deep black urethane. Brass is also known for its durability, ensuring that these inlays will stand the test of time.
• Snakewood: Snakewood, a rare and exotic hardwood, is used in the inlays to add texture and depth to the cue. Its distinctive grain pattern, reminiscent of snake scales, enhances the cue’s overall aesthetic, adding a touch of the extraordinary.
• Brass & Green Malachite Index Rings: The cue is further adorned with index rings made of brass and green malachite. These rings serve as decorative markers that not only enhance the visual appeal of the cue but also provide a sense of balance and symmetry. The brass adds a warm, reflective quality, while the green malachite continues the theme of natural elegance. Together, these materials create a harmonious design that is both eye-catching and refined.
• i-Pro High-Performance Shaft with 6 Matching Inlaid Points: The cue is equipped with an i-Pro high-performance shaft, designed for players who seek precision and control. The slim profile of the shaft allows for a comfortable grip and increased accuracy in shots. The shaft also features six matching inlaid points, echoing the intricate design elements found on the handle and forearm. These inlaid points not only enhance the cue’s aesthetic appeal but also contribute to its balanced feel, ensuring a smooth and consistent performance.
