The hint of turquoise on the forearm and sleeve of the Griffin GR07 pool cue really helps bring this instrument to life. Turquoise is incorporated into the ebony and ivory overlay points on the stained hardrock maple forearm as well as in decorative patterns between each point. On the ebony sleeve, turquoise designs add color to the bold, geometric ivory pattern. A UV coating provides a glossy finish and helps to protect the wood from outside conditions. To ensure straightness, this cue underwent five rounds of turning, and a warp resistant wood stabilizer keeps it that way. Performance wise, this cue offers a compact, solid hit similar to a Joss or Schon cue. The result is a tournament quality cue at an affordable price. A one year warranty on parts and workmanship is included.
