The wood core in the Cuetec CT259 cue is sheathed in a fiberglass shield, which locks out moisture and temperature changes to protect it from warping. Visual interest is added on the forearm and sleeve with overlays of silver floating points and diamonds on a black finish. A special 147power bonding process148 also protects this cue from dents and dings. The wrap is Veltec with a thin epoxy resin coating. Professionally endorsed by Earl Strickland and Allison Fisher, this cue offers high quality with a stiff hit at a reasonable price. Notice The Earl Strickland Series are no longer made with an Earl Strickland signature on them.
