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

So I’m give a detailed review first off the pool stick is beautiful goes together great and was straight I was worried because of other comments but mine was straight and feels perfect the tip was nicely done as well the weight which isn’t shared on here much without the weighted bolt in the but it’s 514g which is 18.131oz and with the weighted bolt it’s 544g which is 19.189 oz which is great for someone new to pool because you can get the sturdiness of a 19oz to learn and take out the bolt to get 18oz which is great for the finesse it’s a beautiful stick feels great and personal for the price your not going to get a better cue and the fact it’s made in the same factory as more expensive cues is a added pro to it it’s full carbon fiber and you can see it definitely worth the price I did the C01

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.

I bought this as a gift for my partner. She's new to playing pool. This is a great first cue set as you get the case, a set of 5 weights (one comes preinstalled), and extension handle. She has small hands, so the pro taper helps her adn the low deflection shaft helps with control. The cue arrived well packed and is straight. Overall, it's a very good value.

Nice combination set. Cue feels great. Had my buddy tested out as well. Never shot with full graphite before getting used to that only thing is that I wish the cleaning cloth was not pink. Oh, and our great price great product I would recommend.

It’s a nice stick, nothing special. Very light… I like a 20 or 21 oz stick but I guess you just get what they send you….. so that being said, I don’t recommend this stick for the simple fact of its weight. Update: to obtain the weight you might like you need to add weight bolts to your order for another $20+. I didn’t like the stick that much to pay another $20 for weights that may or may not satisfy me enough to change my review. Again, it’s just a bar room pool stick. Update: CRICAL customer service was great. CRICAL sent me weight bolts for this cue stick that made a tremendous difference in its performance. I like a heavier cue. That being said, if you like a light stick it’s perfect right out of the box, but for me I prefer a heavier cue. CRICAL does have weight bolts to go with their cues, sold separately, so keep that in mind.

After two months of daily use, I can honestly say this is a great cue at a impossible bargain price. Very low deflection, excellent finish and feel, proper weight, wonderful tip. It's by no means a flashy cue, but it has nice detail. The handle is finished with some pin striping and a carbon fiber under gloss. The shaft is mat, very smooth and a nice Pro taper. This is easily a $500 cue. I could not be happier. My game is now 'no excuses'. Even if you are a beginner looking for a first or second cue, buy this and you will have enough cue to last you for years to come.

Crical is a great mid range brand. Good quality. I love the solid, uniform color. I have this and the same color scheme break stick. Both have good tips. Crical has great accessories as well.

Worth every penny!!!

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

very nice cue, plays really smooth.

Super achat, je l'adore. Je m'en sert quand je vais dans ma ligue de billard et elle très bien j'ai changé le bout de la baguette mais elle est de bonne qualité je la recommande.

Very happy with the cue, just disappointed the additional weights shown in the amazon add didnt come with the cue , come on guys , would it break the bank to toss a couple of weights in the box!?
