Cuetec provides more cue for the money! · Cuetec's composite cladding of either graphite or fiberglass completely encases the solid wood core in an armor of high-tech synthetic material.· A Power Bonding Process protects the cue from warping by locking out moisture and temperature changes. · Synthetic cladding provides ding and dent resistance and adds tremendous strength to the cue. · You get the performance associated with high-tech composite materials and the feel of wood.· Pro players Earl Strickland and Allison Fisher endorse the cues. ***Notice: The Earl Strickland Series are no longer made with an Earl Strickland signature on them.***
