Peradon Raptor Three Section 8 Ball Pool Cue
This 57” inch, three section cue is crafted by Peradon in England from kiln dried, North American Ash and exotic Ebony.
Manufacture & Specifications
The ash is carefully selected for strength and straightness before the finest, genuine Ebony butt timber is spliced to the cue by hand and the cue is shaped to produce the distinctive four round point pattern of a hand spliced cue.
The decorative Cocobola front splice and Sycamore & Red 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, after which the numerous sanding and finishing processes are then undertaken to achieve a ‘silk smooth’ finish.
This cue is fitted a ‘quick action’ joint in the center to make the cue more portable and a ‘quick action’ dome joint’ 8″ from the butt of the cue. The dome joint enables the player to quickly remove the bottom 8″ of the cue to reveal a rounded end on the shaft. This makes it possible for the player to use the shaft of the cue, which due to the brass dome still has good weight, for those awkward shots in restricted spaces.
To eliminate joint problems both sections of both joints are precision turned from a single piece of solid brass and are fitted to ensure precise alignment.
The butt is finished with a Peradon Raptor name disc and leather butt pad.
This cue features a solid brass ferrule and 8 to 8½mm Elkmaster tip
