Classically-styled nutmeg-stained true Birds-eye Maple forearm and butt with solid black genuine double-pressed Irish linen wrap, stainless steel joint collar and triple silver ring sets. Select North American hard rock maple is turned and dried seven times before being coated with Nelsonite, a patented wood stabilizer which protects the cue from changes in atmosphere. The final layers of epoxy and high-gloss "Super UV Finish" help provide the ultimate in moisture and warpage protection, while giving a beautiful finish that is protected against fading and chipping. A pro taper and French Cue Wax on the shaft allow for an extra smooth stroke. Quality "Le Pro" tips give excellent ball control. And every Players cue is Guaranteed 100% STRAIGHT!
