Koda KD35 Pool Cue

Purple-stained maple gives the Koda KD35 pool cue a look that stands out from the usual black and natural cues. A linen wrap on the handle keeps the grip traditional, so the color is the only real departure from a standard playing cue. That makes it an easy step for anyone moving up from a plain house cue.

Behind the color is a 29-inch shaft of 100% hard rock Canadian maple, tipped with a 12.5 mm Le Pro tip and set off by a 10 mm glossy black collar. The 3/8 x 10 joint pin connects it to a butt wrapped in black double pressed Irish linen, with a black Implex butt cap and a compression bumper at the end.

Purple is the lead color, and the black wrap, collar and cap keep it grounded. Pick from 18, 19, 20 or 21 oz weights at checkout. For a purple pool cue that does not trade away a maple shaft or a wrap, the KD35 is worth a look.
