Description

Action’s Value line includes the VAL03, a basic wood-shafted cue without a wrap or extra trim. This build gives the VAL03 a piloted 5/16×18 joint, a 13mm classic wood shaft, a wrapless handle, and your choice of black or red.

It covers the fundamentals, a consistent joint and shaft, at one of Action’s lower price points. It’s priced below Action’s Starter and mid-tier lines while keeping the same joint and shaft spec. In stock now, the VAL03 runs about $120 for the spec detailed above. Like most of Action’s catalog, the VAL03 keeps replacement parts simple since the joint and shaft use common sizes.

Havent got to use it

Havent got to use it yet but plan to really soon. Other than that I was quite delighted with the stick. Its darker than the image shows which I really liked and the butt fits perfectly with a higher end shaft that I already have and use quite often

Nice Purchase

This stick is quite handsome and the finish is slick and smooth. Very good bang for the buck. Handles very nicely and the tip has a nice traction for backspins and english influence. 100% Satisfied.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Action VAL03 Value Cue use?

It uses a 5/16X18 Piloted joint. That means any 5/16X18 Piloted 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 Piloted before ordering — joints are not cross-compatible.

What shaft diameter is the Action VAL03 Value 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 VAL03 Value 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 VAL03 Value 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 wrapless. 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.
