Players Graphic G-3396 midnight black billiard cue with Maple cutaways and cocobola/bocote overlay diamonds, stainless steel joint collar, no rings and genuine solid black double-pressed Irish linen wrap. This piece has a classic timeless look and would make a great playing cue for anyone from an amateur player practicing on a home table to a battle-tested tournament warrior. Players pool cues are made from North American Grade A Hard Rock Maple that has been hand picked by seasoned craftsmen and turned and dried seven times during curing. The wood is treated with Nelsonite, a patented stabilizer that protects it from atmospheric changes and finished with an epoxy that seals the wood pores for even greater moisture protection. Once the cue design and/or inlay is applied, each completed cue is then finished with a high gloss super UV coating that provides an armor coating against fading and chipping so in 20 years your cue will look and play as good as it does today. Players pool cue shafts are made of the same treated North American Grade A Hard Rock Maple as the cue butts and are given a professional taper for a long stroke and treated with a special French cue wax that provides a smooth finish so the shaft literally glides through your fingers. Each shaft is topped with a high-impact ferrule so durable that it even carries its own lifetime guarantee against chipping or cracking. Players pool cues and pool cue shafts come backed by a lifetime warranty, even against war page.
