Description

The Koda KD40 pool cue is a black playing cue with a ringtail leatherette wrap, which sets it apart from the linen-wrapped cues in the same family. It suits players who prefer the feel of a leatherette grip and want a black cue to go with it. The wrap is the main thing that changes the character of this one.

Working back from the tip: a Le Pro tip at 12.5 mm, a 29-inch shaft of 100% hard rock Canadian maple, then a glossy black collar measuring 10 mm. The 5/16 x 18 joint pin leads into the butt, which carries the ringtail leatherette wrap, a black Implex cap and a compression bumper.

Black is the color all the way through, with a glossy black collar and black Implex butt cap keeping the rest of the cue in one tone. Weights of 18, 19, 20 and 21 oz are offered, and you choose yours at checkout. For a black pool cue with a leatherette wrap and a standard 5/16 x 18 joint, the KD40 is a straightforward pick.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Koda KD40 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 Koda KD40 Pool 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 Koda KD40 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 Koda KD40 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 leather 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 Koda dealer?

Yes. We are an authorized Koda 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.
