If you146re looking for a tournament level quality cue with a compact, solid hit at an affordable price, look no further than this Griffin GR01 pool stick. This hardrock maple cue incorporates the time honored appeal of forearm points with a contemporary flair. Black overlay points are outlined in white and feature white diamonds in the center, while on the sleeve black hourglass shaped patterns use the same design pattern for a cohesive look. A black Irish linen wrap with white specks unites the sections and provides a solid grip. To ensure straightness, this cue underwent five rounds of turning, and a warp resistant wood stabilizer keeps it that way. Finally, a glossy UV coating is applied to the finish for added protection against the elements. A one year warranty on parts and workmanship is included.
