Action sure did an amazing job with their new purple colors. This new VAL30 from their Value series, is really a great value and a great cue all around. Keeping the same traditional points in the forearm and windows on the butt sleeve, the VAL30 is a deep purple stained maple cue. The points on the forearm are a white overlay outline that protrudes from a jet black no wrap section. The butt sleeve also shares the same white overlay border creating windows around the sleeve. The white overlay outlines sure make that purple stain stand out nice and sharp.
