Model: Amatese. The Stradivari billiard cues from the "Master Billiards" series are all handcrafted. Many top billiard players use genuine Stradivari cues, as they are equally well-suited for powerful shots and delicate shots with spin. The Stradivari billiard cues of the "Master Billiards" series are exclusive cues for professionals and ambitious beginners. The maple woods are hand-processed. The shaft is made from the finest maple wood, which helps to avoid unwanted vibrations during play. The shaft is hand-waxed and not lacquered, allowing it to glide smoothly in the hand. The butt is made from birdseye maple and crafted through traditional handwork. In several dozen steps, the wood is turned, sanded, lacquered, and polished until it reaches the quality expected from a Stradivari cue. The grips of the Stradivari Master Billiard cues Amatese, Croall, and Cabriac are wrapped in the finest waxed linen from Ireland, making the cue super grippy; professionals swear by Irish linen. The 13 mm tip is made from 12-layer medium-hard professional leather and is glued to the ferrule. The two cue parts are connected in the middle with a stainless steel screw joint. This high-quality precision thread has the advantage that the two parts can be securely joined with just a few turns. Embedded in the bumper is a cue leather shaper. Delivery is in a sturdy plastic box with a practical strap for carrying. Shaft: Canadian maple wood. Tip: medium-hard, 13 mm glue leather, 12-layer leather tip. Cue grip: Irish linen.
