"Dive into Precision: A Blue-Streaked Masterpiece for Snooker & Pool Enthusiasts"
Inspired by the midnight hues of Cornwall’s cliffs and the cerulean depths of Lake District waters, this English pool cue merges sophistication with raw power. Crafted for those who demand elegance without compromising on performance, it’s equally at home in smoky local leagues or competitive snooker halls.
Materials & Craftsmanship:
Butt: 4-splice-engineered ebony composite with azure maple veneers, reinforced by a hi-tech resin core for warp resistance.
Shaft: North American ash, hand-selected for grain straightness and fitted with a brass ferrule for crisp energy transfer.
Tip: MR Pro Hard tip (8.5mm/9.5mm) – pre-scuffed for immediate play or upgrade to ELK Master for enhanced spin control (+1 day dispatch).
Modular Design:
¾ joint with vacuum-lock technology ensures a seamless strike, while the included telescopic extension and mini-butt adapt to awkward shots or height restrictions – perfect for UK pubs with tight spaces!
Bespoke Options:
Case Swap: Swap the standard case for a luxury embossed version.
Weight Tuning: Specify your ideal balance (18.5–20oz) during checkout – we’ll hand-weight the cue to your preference.
