The Action ACT156 Fractal Pool Cue is a Action playing cue sold by Quarter King Billiards. It has a 5/16X18 joint and a 13.00mm classic wood shaft. It is in stock at $239, with free shipping over $98 and 30-day returns.

Description

Action’s Fractal line includes the ACT156, a pool cue that pairs Action’s standard wood build with a multi-color finish. This build gives the ACT156 a 5/16×18 joint, a 13mm classic wood shaft, a linen wrap, and your choice of brown, black or tan.

It’s a reasonable step up from a house cue for someone who wants their own stick and a colorway to match. Since the joint and shaft match the rest of Action’s catalog, replacement tips and ferrules aren’t hard to source later. The ACT156 runs about $240 and ships in stock, no wait involved on this particular listing.

Injudicious Ludicrous is my partner’s name

She hits like a beauty and handles my raw power with no tears. My partner allows me to hit the impossible shots with the consistency I’d expect. This is my first pool cue and it works as hoped for AND recommended because I called in twice and got help from the same person when asking about multiple cues (forgot his name but THANK YOU!!) Overall I can endorse this cue for anyone intermediate level and possibly beginner as nicely because I’m decent but I don’t think I’m THAT good just yet I can’t give recommendations on specs you should choose because buying a pool cue is like getting a Harry Potter wand or some kind of enchanted weapon: You choose it and it chooses you. If your worried about weight of the shaft and tip hardness, call in and ask your questions and you will get the answers you are looking for I’m in no rush to replace my Action Act156 anytime soon. This baby might be around for the nice time and the long time if she can handle burning bright alongside me Ah I’m not uploading photos or videos because I respect my partner. You wanna see what this cue looks like, there’s pictures on the site and they are accurate. My cue stick is my partner and as a gentlenyan I have to give my baby some respect

I like that this pool cue is balanced and feels so silky to shoot with. I have been playing better since I got it.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Action ACT156 Fractal Pool Cue use?

It uses a 5/16X18 joint. That means any 5/16X18 shaft will thread straight onto this butt, so you can add a spare or upgrade later without changing cues. If you are matching a shaft you already own, check its pin against 5/16X18 before ordering — joints are not cross-compatible.

What shaft diameter is the Action ACT156 Fractal Pool Cue?

This cue ships with a 13.00mm shaft. Thinner shafts put more spin on the cue ball and feel crisper through the stroke; larger diameters feel fuller and are more forgiving on off-centre hits. Neither is better — it comes down to how you like the cue to hit.

Is this a carbon fiber or wood shaft cue?

The Action ACT156 Fractal Pool Cue comes with a Classic Wood shaft. Carbon fiber will not warp, ignores humidity and deflects less; quality maple gives the traditional feel a lot of players still prefer. Both play at a high level, so pick the one that matches how you want the cue to feel.

What is the Action ACT156 Fractal Pool Cue built for?

It is set up as a playing cue. Playing cues are balanced for control on shot-making, break cues are heavier with a harder tip for power transfer, and jump cues are short and light to get the cue ball airborne. Using the right one also protects your playing cue from break wear.

What kind of grip does it have?

The grip is linen wrap. Irish linen wicks sweat and stays tacky, leather is plush and premium, and a no-wrap finish is fast and needs no maintenance. If your hands run warm, linen is usually the safer pick.

Is Quarter King an authorized Action dealer?

Yes. We are an authorized Action dealer, so this cue is genuine and carries the full manufacturer warranty against warpage and defects in workmanship. Warranty claims go through us — you do not have to deal with the factory yourself.

How fast does it ship, and can I return it?

Shipping is free on orders over $98 in the contiguous US, $5.50 flat otherwise, and you get tracking as soon as it moves. Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery on unchalked, unused product — contact us first for a return authorization so it is credited without delay.
