Description
The King cue is a full size, 58 inch, ¾ jointed cue is crafted by Peradon in England from the highest grade, kiln dried North American Ash and exotic Ebony.
The Ash is carefully selected for strength and straightness before the Ebony butt timber is spliced to the cue by hand and shaped to produce the distinctive four round point pattern of a hand spliced cue.
The four decorative Olive-wood splices, with Sycamore and Plum veneers, are then hand spliced to the Ebony butt. In order to reduce stress to the timbers the cue is then shaped over a period of time until the final tapered shape is achieved. The sanding and finishing process is then undertaken to achieve a ‘silk smooth’ finish.
To eliminate joint problems the two sections of the ‘quick action’ joint are each precision turned from a single piece of solid brass and precisely fitted 16″ from the butt end to give the shaft length of 42″.
Extensions may be fitted into either the ¾ joint in the cue or into the butt end joint.
This cue features a solid brass ferrule and 9 ½ to 10mm Elkmaster tip.

The quality of the ash shaft is of the utmost importance when crafting a cue. Shafts are extensively selected with only a small percentage of the pieces processed making the grade for production of these cues. In order to maintain the highest standards of selection Peradon purchase more ash than any other English cue makers. For the highest quality hand spliced cues such as this the selection process is even more rigorous.
