KONLLEN Ebony Pro Series Carbon Fiber Pool Cue Stick Handmade Inlay Cue (Inlay Ring, Carbon Technology Low Deflection Billiard Cue Stick, Ebony Butt, 12.5mm,147cm)

I’ve played for over 20 years. I am absolutely ecstatic about this cue. The weight in combination with its balance and gator grips along with the 3/8 joint are very well designed and crafted. It’s extremely aesthetically. Pleasing to the eye especially with the shell inlay. Performs well, generates more action on the cue than I initially anticipated. The value is is outstanding especially since it is a carbon fibre cue.

This is my second purchase of a Konllen cue. The first I picked over other more expensive cues just because I shot better with it, but I hated the look of it. This one has a much simpler and elegant look. It shoots the same so I turned the other one into a break cue.

This stick is well made and plays as good as any cue I've played with, including a $1400 Predator with Revo shaft. I currently also own a Cuetec with Cynergy shaft and I would not say the Cuetec is better or worse. The Cuetec Cynergy has a softer hit and sniper tip. That might explain why this stick gives you more feedback when you hit the balls. If you like a softer (more cush) feel, I would go with a Cuetec Cynergy or Predator Revo. But honestly, I am now favoring this stick over the Cynergy. It's really more preference than anything. Bottom line: This stick is definitely worth the money if you like a some feedback when you hit the balls. But if you like the softer feel, you may want to look at a different stick. Some people who own this stick say that if you change the tip to soft tip, the hit will be softer. I'm fine with the stick just the way it is.

Been shooting pool for 30+ years, tried all kinds of cues, and I don’t see any flaws here. Happy with every aspect.

Arrived on time from Amazon. Konllen packaging was good. Watch the you tube videos on this one and the J Flowers same cue. You will see that this cue is very close in performance to the higher end brands. i've shown it to several guys at the pool hall who are expert level players and who use the higher priced and better known brands and they all said they coud not tell the difference in performance. HIghly reccommend this cue. Follow up 1.5 years later. I still love this cue. Took the weigh bolts out and it comes in at just under 18 oz. Changed the tip now using a soft layered tip. I find full lenght 9 foot table deflection is about a quarter inch medium speed one tip side. Front hand english. Some day I may buy a more expensive cue but it will need to make magic happen to keep me using it compared to this one.
