- 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

After two months of daily use, I can honestly say this is a great cue at a impossible bargain price. Very low deflection, excellent finish and feel, proper weight, wonderful tip. It's by no means a flashy cue, but it has nice detail. The handle is finished with some pin striping and a carbon fiber under gloss. The shaft is mat, very smooth and a nice Pro taper. This is easily a $500 cue. I could not be happier. My game is now 'no excuses'. Even if you are a beginner looking for a first or second cue, buy this and you will have enough cue to last you for years to come.

I ordered the CL01 cue set 2. I got everything shown in the stock photo : --- Carbon shaft + cue butt, with joint protectors. --- 1x1 cue case, a nice surprise because it's a hard case with a soft exterior pouch, and a shoulder strap. --- 4 weight bolts. There is another weight bolt (smallest in photo attached) came installed in the cue, making a total of 5. --- Cue Extension. The thread is slightly different from the stock photo. It's has less threads = less time needed to switch around. Now for the review: Cue plays very well. Joint was smooth and seamless, this is very important to me because I've caught my beard with cues that have less than perfect joints and it HURT. The paint and finish job looks better than those stock photo. The tip is multi layered leather. It's medium hard, leaning towards hard. Rolls straight, no surprise here. And it's carbon so it should stay this way for years to come. One thing that was not mentioned here was the weight. Probably because it varies and they don't want people crying about it's off by 0.25 oz. I weighted mine, and here is my result : Shaft = 3.88 oz Butt (with factory installed weight bolt removed) = 14.46 oz. Factory installed weight bolt = 0.60 oz. (4) included weight bolts = 1.23 oz. ; 1.83 oz. ; 2.47 oz. and 3.03 oz. Cue extension : 3.28 oz. Conclusion : This is a decent choice for people starting out. The set has plenty of things for you to explore with and learn from. You are not getting AAAAAA graded maple, or any exotic wood, abalone shell, gold, ........ You are getting a decent playing cue with all the essential accessories. With it's hard leather tip and the biggest weight bolt, you can probably use it as a break cue when you are ready to upgrade from this later, or keep this as a spare cue, or take it to the bar with all the greasy food (carbon wipes clean easily). At this price, I would be really pissed if it gets stolen, but at least I won't be crying.

This is a review I never anticipated writing, but I actually am blown away by this product. Usually, most things fail to live up to the hype. This is one that actually surpasses your expectations, immediately. It's beautiful looking, and smooth as silk. It's going to take some time to get accustomed to the sound it makes striking the cue, but it shoots like a champ. I'm confident that this will improve most players games. I'm an "old timer" and have collected wooden Adam cues since the late 70s. This is a real departure for me, and I was certain that I would hate it. I was wrong. It's simply great, and an amazing value. I can't believe that they can make a cue of this quality, and attention to detail... and sell it for so little. It's like a gift. Just to add a quick note about the graphics. I was reluctant to purchase many of the carbon cues that I've seen due to the juvenile graphics. This one is subdued, tasteful, and beautifully done. I didn't think I would like the grip not being on Irish linen... but I do. You will love this cue, and it will serve you well for many years to come. It's so well built that it will likely become a legacy item in your family. Highly recommended. A pleasure to shoot with.

Wow what a sweet stick, major score here. Straight, nice taper, nice feel love it. One issue, i don't like the tip, i would guess it's medium to medium hard and will need a lot of breaking in, ill give it 100 racks and if no improvement ill be changing it as i have a lathe all set up to do so. I prefer a soft tip. Out of box it weighed in at 19 ounces. I bought the heavy weight bolt kit to get it as close to 21 ounces as possible. The bolts are 6mm allen head standard length tool, easy swap out. This is a very nice stick and very nice quality, the shaft is mirror smooth. The stick is very rigid barley bends when pressure put on it. Shipping packaging was bullet proof, no way will get damaged. This cured my wanna carbon fiber pool cue bug, very happy. So glad i did not drop $1000 on a Cuetec etc, wow close one. I highly recommend this cue stick for entry level carbon fiber cue sticks. I feel like i have a super power now, so cool. Update, i liked the cue so much a bought another for my wife who loved mine. I looked the 2nd cue over and it was exactly the same as the first in everyway. quality, appearance, runout etc. Flawless in every way. I have shooting the first one since the day i got it and its already feels like a part on me at the table. Major score! Update, So not flawless. The joint pin that's used on this cue is what's called a "wavy joint thread" that comes loose all the time no mater how tight you get it. A standard 3/8x14 or 5/16x14 thread would be far superior, not a deal breaker but a bit annoying. I have two of these cues and both come loose all the time. I play about 25 racks per day, it comes loose at least once per day and i don't break with it. You will hear it when loose on a shot. Cant glue together because it would make it difficult yo put on my lathe to replace tip.

Amazing quality. Looks awesome. Feels great. And I love the tip on this. I feel like I have so much control over the cue ball. Really enjoying playing with this cue.

Just perfect for me! perfectly straight with no warping of either part. Silky smooth shaft do.smooth I don't even need to wear my hand glove. Appears to be well balanced. Shoots straight and accurate... the only thing I did was replace the tip which I found to be too hard. I replaced it with a medium soft tip and it's made all the difference to me. some people don't like the sound it makes occasionally... doesn't bother me in the least. A good value considering the price of other carbon fiber cues.

Very good pool cue. Nice weight tip is very durable

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.
