The Panther Ruby 3/4 Jointed Pool Cue is 57" in length, designed to deliver both performance and visual appeal across multiple cue sports. Expertly handmade, this cue is constructed with kiln-dried North American Ash and exotic Ebony. The Ash is carefully selected for strength and straight grain before being precisely turned and hand-spliced into a high-quality Ebony butt. Four Grey stained Ash splices, complemented by a Ebony lower front splice and Ruby Red veneers are then added to achieve the desired eye-catching look. The cue is then turned to its final tapered finish, before the numerous sanding and finishing processes are undertaken to achieve a ‘silk smooth’ finish. To ensure long term reliability and eliminate joint-related issues, the cue features a precision-engineered ‘air-lock’ joint, with both sections machined from a single piece of solid brass. Positioned 15 inches from the butt end, this design provides a shaft length of 44.25 inches (including the male joint), offering excellent balance and playability. The butt is finished with a Panther branded name disc and a solid brass butt end joint to accept the 6" composite mini-butt extension included with the cue, allowing the player to comfortably reach those further shots. To complete this cue, a solid brass ferrule and 8.5mm (+/- 0.1mm) Elkmaster tip are fitted, offering an optimum tip size suitable for playing Pool.
