The wood core in the Cuetec CT261 cue is encased in a fiberglass shield, locking out moisture and temperature changes to protect it from warping. A red finish on the forearm and sleeve is the backdrop for silver and white floating point and diamond design overlays, which seem to leap off the cue. 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 Allison Fisher, this cue offers high quality with a stiff hit at a reasonable price.
