58 in. Hard Rock Birdseye Maple Cue (P0363)

The P0363 58 inch Hard Rock Birdseye Maple Pool Cue from Mizerak signature series of performance billiard sticks features Irish linen wrap for great grip and long life. Smooth, consistent hits every time and stainless steel quick-release joints for a harder hit. It is also fast and easy to assemble.

Maple from colder climates is favored because of its light color, stability, and resiliency. Carefully dried and aged wood is chosen, with emphasis on tight, straight grain lines. This wood endures many turnings in the process of becoming a shaft. Shaft length varies, with the average being 29 inches. The first 2 to 6 inches of wood, from the joint forward, has an impregnable high-gloss finish that protects from dirt and moisture. The remaining area, up to the ferrule, is open-pore wood with a very smooth surface. Shaft diameter is commonly 13mm; however, larger and smaller sizes are preferred for certain hand sizes and billiard games. Shaft diameter is constant for the first 6 to 14 inches below the ferrule, and then it grows larger to match with the joint. Shafts vary in stiffness based on the length and style of taper to which they are cut. A short taper has less flexibility and produces a firmer hit, while longer tapers provide more flexibility and a softer hit. Shafts affect the weight, balance, feel, and playability of a cue.
