Description

For players who want their cue easy to spot, the Xcel XC16 offers an orange curly design on an entry-level pool cue. It belongs to the XC line in the Xcel range and is made to be picked up and played, with a hard rock maple shaft and a wrapless handle. It suits players at the start of their game, or anyone who needs one more cue for a bar or game room.

The 100% hard rock maple shaft is 29 inches long and wears a 13 mm layered green soft tip. A glossy black 10 mm collar and a 5/16 x 18 joint connect it to a butt with a cream Implex cap and compression bumper.

Orange and black form the colour scheme, and the orange is the curly pattern across the wrapless handle. Weight choices cover 18 to 21 oz, and the one you pick at checkout is the one that ships. Cream and black hardware sit at the two ends of the cue, which keeps the orange from taking over. It is a bright, no-nonsense cue for the player who would rather not blend in.

Questions about this cue

What joint does the Xcel XC16 Orange Curly Design 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 Xcel XC16 Orange Curly Design Pool 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 Xcel XC16 Orange Curly Design 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 Xcel XC16 Orange Curly Design 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 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 Xcel dealer?

Yes. We are an authorized Xcel 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.
