Description

Orange stained maple wraps the forearm and butt sleeve of the KAT2501, each section set off by triple brass rings that give the cue some visual snap without going overboard. Black Irish linen covers the wrap for grip that holds up over long sessions, and the Uni-Loc joint connects a black collar to a stainless steel pin for a tight, repeatable fit. A stainless steel butt plate etched with the Katana logo caps the butt, and the rubber bumper is threaded to accept an extension. Weight sits at 1.4 lb, adjustable through the weight bolt as your stroke evolves.

The 29 inch shaft runs a European taper over a carbon core maple shaft, so you get the familiar feedback of maple through the bridge while the core adds stiffness that helps the shaft resist warping. A 12.7mm layered black tip caps it off. The cue includes joint protectors but no case. A limited manufacturer warranty covers the KAT2501.

Weight & Balance

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 Katana Dragon KAT2501 Cue with Wood Shaft - Orange use?

It uses a Uni-Loc joint. That means any Uni-Loc 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 Uni-Loc before ordering — joints are not cross-compatible.

What shaft diameter is the Katana Dragon KAT2501 Cue with Wood Shaft - Orange?

This cue ships with a 12.70mm 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 Katana Dragon KAT2501 Cue with Wood Shaft - Orange 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 Katana Dragon KAT2501 Cue with Wood Shaft - Orange 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 Katana dealer?

Yes. We are an authorized Katana 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.
