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

I'm very happy with my purchase of those Crical Pro Cue. I did my research on reddit and YouTube and it sounded perfect. I was looking for a carbon fiber shaft with a pro taper and low deflection. This is it! It improved my accuracy quick. I like the sticks snooth glide and transitions. I flows. I like the feedback I get from the vibration in the hand to let me know how hard or soft in shooting. It shoots like a laser for me. Plus it came with the extension already fitted with the plug and a special pouch for the extension on the hard case. Me and my friends like the classy piano look of it. It's a keeper and my main stick now.

This was the first cue stick I ever bought so I can't make comparisons. All other sticks were what ever was available. The stick is perfectly straight and glass smooth. I had no trouble using it. The graphics are well executed except for a small flaw as shown in the first photo. It weighs slightly over 18 oz so I wanted to try to add some weight bolts. No info came with the stick and there is nothing useful on the manufacturers website as to what to buy or how to install. I contacted them and they said the rear bumper could be unscrewed by hand - it can't. A youtube video suggested using a hair dryer to loosen adhesive - DON'T DO IT. There is no adhesive. There is a 5mm hex socket at the end of the bumper. A 5mm allen key easily unscrews the bumper - see photo. I'm still waiting on the manufacturer for info on weight bolts. All and all, I'm satisfied with the purchase.

I was concerned it would be too light considering it's carbon. However it has good weight, excellent quality, & feel accurate. I believe this purchase is good value because I think it's going to last a long time.

The good: Cue plays brilliantly. Shaft texture is smooth, no glove needed. Tip was ready to play on arrival. Bag is adequate, cloth useful to have, spare tip helpful too. My first time using a carbon cue, the 'feel' on the shot is different to wood, but I was able to execute shots normally.The bad: I ordered the kit with a mini extension, and the extension didn't fit the cue. The joint was completely the wrong size. Not sure how this happened, but to compound things contacting the seller is practically impossible - after going in circles with amazon chatbots for a while I gave up trying to get help. After goggling and looking on the crical website I eventually surmised that the extension had an adapter plug thing fitted. I removed this using pliers, and found that the extension then fit. Seems ridiculous that this was necessary - why ship with an adapter fitted so tightly that's for a different joint, with no instructions. When fitted it isn't obvious that it is removable.

Well made and beautifully finished. VERY smooth thru the fingers. Making great shots with this stick.

Very nice cue. So far I like it a lot. Was 100% as described.

nice and straight. Seems very nice. It was my motivation to buy a Carbon Shaft specific to my favorite Maple Butt.

Crical, the manufacturer isn't responsive to questions about their product. I ordered the pool cue and wanted additional weight for the handle. On two occasions, the weights sent do not fit the handle of the CL-01 pool cue. Crical had no suggestions and will not respond to additional inquiry.
