The Athena ATH49 Cue is a Athena playing cue sold by Quarter King Billiards. It has a 5/16X18 Piloted joint and a 12.50mm classic wood shaft. It is in stock at $305, with free shipping over $98 and 30-day returns.

Description

Blue stained maple forms the forearm and butt sleeve of the Athena ATH49, framed by teal, black and white points that encase white roses. The wrap is black linen, the butt plate is black composite with a silver Athena logo, and the bumper is black rubber with a hole for the extension.

This playing cue has a 28 1/2 inch hard rock maple shaft with a 10 to 12 inch pro taper. The tip measures 12.5mm and is a seven-layer vacuum sealed boar skin, backed by a 1 inch fiber linen ferrule. The 5/16×18 piloted joint has a stainless steel collar with black and silver accents.

Five weights are available, from 17 to 21 oz, and the weight is changeable through the weight bolt. An extension is included. A case and joint protectors are not, and the cue has a limited one year manufacturer warranty. Choosing a weight is a matter of feel, with lighter cues quicker and heavier ones steadier.

    Athena ATH49 pool pool cue

    Its a great pool stick i really like the color! The premier part is the extension that comes with it! I didnt know it came with it until i opened my package! It shoots well and just the perfect height for me because im short. I would definitely suggest this pool stick to anyone looking to get one! It wont disappoint you!

    Wife’s Cue

    Purchased for my wife for Christmas. Cue stick is made very well, the added extension makes it just right for her. Turn around time to have it engraved and shipped was impressive!

    Terrific

    Our daughter loves thia cue, the extension is very helpful as she is shorter and hates using a crutch.

    Athena stick and case

    My wife loves it. She really likes the case. The extension is her favorite part. Stops her from having to always use a bridge.

    Athena ATH 49

    In my experience, granddaughter was thrilled with the Athena stick? She loved the smoothness of the shaft and the look of the cue?

  7. Pat L. –

    Love it

    This stick was a gift for my wife. She loves it. The extension is excellent for ladies that aren’t real tall. Cue is smooth and low deflection.

    I’m really enjoying my Athena

    I’m really enjoying my Athena Cue stick. As a small woman, the shorter length helps. Pool Dawg did a great job in switching the tip & getting the pool cue to me quickly. But, they sent a heavier weight cue stick than I ordered without checking with me. Still, this cue is a quality one for the cost

  9. Tom C. –

    Great service. Bought the cue stick

    Outstanding service. Bought the stick for my daughter , it’s very nice can’t wait to give it to her on the 24th for 20th birthday.

  12. Sarah D. –

    Highly Recommended

    Truthfully, i don’t enjoy writing reviews so I will just say that I am extremely content with this stick. I would definately purchase it again.

    Athena ATH49 Pool Cue

    Vey pleasant pool cue stick for the price point, should have opted for a softer tip, but I was able to soften the tip that came with the stick. The extension is a superb feature, also.

  15. Steve T. –

    Present for Wife.

    Birthday present for my wife. She loves it.

  16. Rick P. –

    For the value it’s a steal

    To be frank, i’ve owned this Athena cue stick for 3+ years. I replaced the original tip for a softer one, feeling the softer one gives me a better feel & control. Not only is this cue functional & reliable it is really a beautifully decorated cue. The extension is so quite useful, but it does take practice to feel comfortable. Can’t go wrong.

Weight & Balance

This cue is offered in WBACT, Yes. A lighter cue is easier to accelerate for a whippy, spin-friendly stroke; a heavier cue plants more solidly and drives the cue ball with less effort. Most players settle between 19 and 20 ounces.

This model takes a weight-bolt system, so the weight and balance point can be tuned after purchase. Adding weight toward the butt moves the balance rearward for a more planted feel; less weight shifts it forward for a livelier stroke. The balance point on a finished cue usually sits about 18 to 19 inches from the butt.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Athena ATH49 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 Athena ATH49 Cue?

This cue ships with a 12.50mm 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 Athena ATH49 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 Athena ATH49 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 Athena dealer?

Yes. We are an authorized Athena 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.

Compatible Shafts

This cue uses a 5/16X18 Piloted joint, so these shafts thread straight onto it. Not sure? Send us the cue and we will confirm the fit before you buy.
