The subtle hint of turquoise in the Action Inlay 96 cue brings to life the four rosewood inlay points, which are positioned over charcoal stained birdseye maple. Incorporating dark rosewood on the sleeve, the deep color of this cue is enhanced further by the black Irish linen wrap with white specs. Beauty aside, this is a high performing, yet reasonably priced, cue that uses a wood to wood joint to provide a compact, solid hit. This is a high quality, high performance instrument priced at under 100. Satisfaction is guaranteed with all Action cues.
