'CRICAL Carbon Fiber Pool Cue Stick 58'' Billiard Cue Sticks Professional Low Deflection Pool Sticks with 3/8 * 8 Pin Joint and 12.5mm Tip'

Cue was as advertised. Beautiful graphics and a nice feeling cue. I'm an intermediate player and have a lot to learn. Not sure there is a deflection difference in a carbon fibre cue though. Need more time to get used to the different strike and sound. I wish I had read all of the reviews first before using the cue. I have a brand new Champioship cloth in light gray on my table. I noticed a black mark on the top of the rail where I always break from. I kind of disregarded it at the time as I thought it was something on my hands. Then I started noticing these black marks all over the table on the top of the rails. I grabbed a micro fiber cloth and wiped down the shaft. The cloth turned absolutely black. Now my new cloth is ruined. Not sure if the seller is going to do anything about it. Also when I unpacked the box, I noticed residue of blue chalk on the tip. So what really happened? After reading all the reviews, I noticed one other buyer had the black on the cabon fibre shaft as well. The cue is nice, but I'm very disgruntled about the damage to the cloth on my table. Not sure if this is something that will continue to bleed out or not. Is this the reason they include a cloth with the stick? If so where is the instruction on cleaning and what could happen? It may be hard to see the cloth damage as I tried to blot it off with a damp micro fibre towel. Otherwise would have been 5 stars.

It was a gift and they loved it

So much value in this pool cue. It’s everything I was looking for and makes me enjoy playing on my table everyday.

Really nice cue. I’ve used it for months now, for a couple hundred games, both breaking and playing. Zero issues. The matte finish on it really helps the cue glide through the fingers without sticking like a gloss cue. Really happy with the purchase. Great price point, great performance .

I ordered the CL01 cue set 2. I got everything shown in the stock photo : --- Carbon shaft + cue butt, with joint protectors. --- 1x1 cue case, a nice surprise because it's a hard case with a soft exterior pouch, and a shoulder strap. --- 4 weight bolts. There is another weight bolt (smallest in photo attached) came installed in the cue, making a total of 5. --- Cue Extension. The thread is slightly different from the stock photo. It's has less threads = less time needed to switch around. Now for the review: Cue plays very well. Joint was smooth and seamless, this is very important to me because I've caught my beard with cues that have less than perfect joints and it HURT. The paint and finish job looks better than those stock photo. The tip is multi layered leather. It's medium hard, leaning towards hard. Rolls straight, no surprise here. And it's carbon so it should stay this way for years to come. Shaft : NOT Pro Taper. Since it' has a 12.5mm tip the increase in shaft diameter is not that steep compared to a snooker cue. Not a huge deal breaker for me but I figure I should mention this here since this might be important to somebody. One thing that was not mentioned here was the weight. Probably because it varies and they don't want people crying about it's off by 0.25 oz. I weighted mine, and here is my result : Shaft = 3.88 oz Butt (with factory installed weight bolt removed) = 14.46 oz. Factory installed weight bolt = 0.60 oz. (4) included weight bolts = 1.23 oz. ; 1.83 oz. ; 2.47 oz. and 3.03 oz. Cue extension : 3.28 oz. Conclusion : This is a decent choice for people starting out. The set has plenty of things for you to explore with and learn from. You are not getting AAAAAA graded maple, or any exotic wood, abalone shell, gold, ........ You are getting a decent playing cue with all the essential accessories. With it's hard leather tip and the biggest weight bolt, you can probably use it as a break cue when you are ready to upgrade from this later, or keep this as a spare cue, or take it to the bar with all the greasy food (carbon wipes clean easily). At this price, I would be really pissed if it gets stolen, but at least I won't be crying.
