Rage is an entry-level pool cue line built around 100% hard rock maple, a fiber ferrule that resists cracking, and a 5/16x18 joint, the same thread standard used across most of the pool cue market. Quarter King carries 22 Rage cues: seven Youth Cues sized for younger or smaller-framed players, four Heavy Hitter jump/break cues built around a Turbo-Lock quick-release joint, and eleven individually named play cues finished in nylon wrap or left wrapless. Prices run from about $70 for a Youth Cue up to about $200 for the more detailed play cue graphics, and every cue here carries Rage's three-year manufacturer warranty.

Rage is an entry-level pool cue line built for players who want a real two piece cue without paying for hand rubbed finishes or custom inlay work. Industry discussion on the AZBilliards forums, together with how at least one national cue retailer organizes its own brand catalog, both describe Rage as sharing a manufacturer and import channel with the Players and Lucasi cue lines, positioned as the value tier underneath those two brands rather than as a fully separate operation. Rage's own product materials describe the line simply as cues built for players of all ages and skill levels who want solid quality without paying a premium for it.
Quarter King's Rage shelf is entirely pool cues: 22 in total, with nothing currently listed under this brand in cases, shafts, or accessories. That range splits into seven Youth Cues sized for younger or smaller-framed players, four Heavy Hitter jump/break cues, and eleven individually named and colored play cues finished in nylon wrap or left wrapless. Pricing spans about $70 for a Youth Cue up to about $200 for the more detailed graphic finishes in the play cue lineup, with most of the colorway play cues landing in the $150 to $170 range in between. Unlike some brands Quarter King carries, there is no separate Rage shaft, case, or accessory line stocked here today, so this brand page is entirely about the cues themselves.
Rage does not organize its play cues into named collections the way some brands split a catalog into numbered series. Outside of the Heavy Hitter jump/break cues and the Youth Cues, each model in Quarter King's Rage lineup carries its own name and finish rather than belonging to a shared line, a pattern confirmed across multiple dealer catalogs that list the same individually named models with no collection name attached. That leaves three practical groups on this shelf: Youth Cues for younger players, Heavy Hitter cues for breaking and jumping, and a wider set of colorway play cues for everyday games.
Seven Rage Youth Cues are in stock at Quarter King, each built from 100% hard rock maple with a chip-resistant fiber ferrule and a 13mm leather tip, matching the standard build found across the rest of the line. Rage's own catalog lists these in 48 inch and 52 inch lengths for younger or smaller-framed players, at about $70 each across four colors: black, dark grey, electric blue, and lime green. Quarter King stocks two listings apiece in black, dark grey, and lime green, plus a single electric blue model, so a shopper buying for a family with more than one young player has more than one option to choose from in a given color.
The four Heavy Hitter cues share a three piece build, a 25 ounce weight, double Turbo-Lock quick-release joints, and a wrapless handle, at about $170 each in matte black, blue, red, or silver. They are priced and built as dedicated break and jump cues rather than everyday play cues, meant to be swapped in only for the opening shot rather than carried as a player's primary stick.
The remaining eleven cues make up Rage's everyday play cue lineup, priced between about $150 and $200 depending on finish. Six use a nylon wrap, including models like the Lucky Green and Blue Blazer, and five are wrapless, including the Metallic Blue Charger, the Pink Cotton Candy Skull, and one Sneaky Pete styled model. Full details on each, including which are currently in stock, are organized on the Rage Cues category page.
Every play cue and Youth Cue in Quarter King's Rage lineup uses a 13.00mm shaft built from 100% hard rock maple and a 5/16x18 joint, the same thread standard used across most of the pool cue market, so a Rage butt or shaft is not locked into a single brand of components. The four Heavy Hitter cues depart from that standard with a double Turbo-Lock quick-release joint instead, built to come apart quickly when switching from the break section to the jump section mid-game.
Rage's own product materials describe the ferrule on its play cues and Youth Cues as a fiber ferrule, marketed as more resistant to cracking and chipping than the plastic ferrules found on many cues at this price. Play cues and Youth Cues ship with a 13mm leather tip, while the Heavy Hitter jump/break cues use a firmer 14mm phenolic tip instead, better suited to the harder contact of a break or jump shot than a leather tip would be.
Grip options across the range come down to three choices: a double-pressed nylon wrap, an unwrapped handle with a painted or stained forearm, or, on the Heavy Hitter cues, a matte finished wrapless handle built for grip under a hard swing. None of the Rage cues Quarter King currently carries use a linen wrap, even though Rage's broader catalog includes that option on some models. Anyone new to these terms can check plain language definitions on the glossary.
Rage is built for players buying a cue on a tight budget, whether that is a first cue for someone moving off a house stick, a second cue kept around for casual games, or a Youth Cue sized for a younger player who has outgrown a house cue but is not ready for a full length adult cue. Parents buying a first cue for a child or a smaller-framed teenager are a natural fit for the Youth Cue lineup specifically, since the shorter lengths and lower price point remove some of the guesswork of sizing a full length cue for a growing player.
The Heavy Hitter jump/break cues suit a different buyer: someone who wants a dedicated break or jump cue without spending several hundred dollars on one, and does not mind keeping a second stick around solely for that purpose. Players on the AZBilliards forums are split on the brand overall. Some dismiss Rage as an inexpensive import not worth a serious player's attention, while others who have owned the cues for years report they stay straight, hit solidly, and hold up well for the price, with one long-time owner saying he can play just as well with a Rage cue as with a cue costing many times more. That divide runs along the same lines as most budget cue debates: Rage is not trying to be a premium cue, and most buyers who treat it as a value pick rather than a showpiece come away satisfied.
Rage cues carry a three-year warranty against manufacturing defects, covering material and workmanship problems for three years from the original purchase date. The warranty is non-transferable and excludes warpage along with damage from wear, mishandling, or a third party. Wear parts, specifically the tip, finish, and wrap, are not covered under this warranty. Claims made after the three year window, or without the original receipt, are handled at the manufacturer's discretion rather than automatically honored. That three year term is shorter than the lifetime warranties some sibling brands in the same price family carry, which tracks with Rage sitting at the value end of that lineup rather than at the same tier as those brands. Buyers who want the paperwork trail a warranty claim needs should keep the original sales receipt with the cue rather than relying on memory of the purchase date.
The clearest picture of how Rage plays comes from the Heavy Hitter jump/break cue, where forum feedback is largely positive. One buyer who paid $65 for a used Heavy Hitter on an auction site called it very impressive for the price, said it hit hard while keeping good control of the cue ball, and put it up against a shooting partner's $250 McDermott cue without hesitation. Other posters echo that it breaks and jumps well for the money, though several flag the balance as noticeably butt-heavy, with one noting the cue is still on the heavy side even after removing its weight bolt, and another reporting the weight bolt alone runs about 2.5 ounces. On the general play cue side, opinion splits more sharply. One long-running thread dismisses Rage as an inexpensive import not suited to a serious player, while a poster in the same thread describes owning three Rage cues for several years, all still straight, all hitting well, and says he can run racks with them just as comfortably as with a cue that cost many times more. A separate poster mentions using a wood-to-wood Sneaky Pete style Rage cue specifically to break with, describing the hit as solid and the rack spread as good for the money. Read together, the sentiment lines up with what a value cue is supposed to deliver: solid, unremarkable performance at a price that does not demand much commitment.
Industry discussion and at least one national cue retailer's own brand listings describe Rage as sharing a manufacturer and import channel with the Players and Lucasi cue lines, as the value tier below those two brands.
Yes. Rage cues carry a three-year warranty against manufacturing defects, excluding warpage and wear parts like the tip, finish, and wrap. Claims after three years need manufacturer approval.
Rage play cues and Youth Cues use a 5/16x18 joint with a 13.00mm hard rock maple shaft. The Heavy Hitter jump/break cues use a Turbo-Lock quick-release joint instead.
Rage is priced and built as an entry cue. Forum opinion is split on feel, but long-time owners often report solid, straight-playing cues at the price.
Quarter King stocks 22 Rage cues: seven Youth Cues, four Heavy Hitter jump/break cues, and eleven individually named play cues, with nothing currently listed under this brand outside of cues.
