This 97 series Meucci pool cue with The Pro Shaft emphasizes a consistent shot. The Birdseye maple forearm is split by four black points with intricate pearl spear designs directed at your shot. The ebony butt sleeve has this same spear design enlarged and repeated within a pearl window border. This cue may be stylish, but it also has quality in its strike. The Black Dot Bulls-eye Shaft is the most consistent, hi tech, peak performing cue shaft that is flat-laminated from 35 Northern Hard Rock Maple lamination's. Also, the unique joint and ferrule design allow for maximum performance with minimum effort. This is a great cue stick with a classy look.
