In creating a cue, Joe ensures that every one is made from the finest materials available. The shafts are of the highest quality straight grained mature ash and maple. These are hand picked and examined at every stage of manufacture, and any shafts not up to our high standards are rejected. Joe feels that the shaft is the most important part of the cue and must have the correct feel and rigidity so it will be able to perform the full range of shots expected.
