Description

This is the priciest cue in the Players lineup covered here, pairing curly antique maple with black in a more detailed forearm pattern than the standard Antique Maple & Black cue, finished with the same black and white linen wrap. It still runs the standard 5/16×18 joint and 13mm Classic Wood shaft used across the brand. At about $300, the added cost reflects the curly maple figure, which takes more work to match and finish than a plain stained forearm. A top-tier pick within the Graphic series for a player who wants the most detailed wood figure Players offers at this level. Currently in stock.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Players Antique Maple Curly & Black Cue with Black/White Linen Wrap 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 Players Antique Maple Curly & Black Cue with Black/White Linen Wrap?

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 Players Antique Maple Curly & Black Cue with Black/White Linen Wrap 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 Players Antique Maple Curly & Black Cue with Black/White Linen Wrap 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 Players dealer?

Yes. We are an authorized Players 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.
