Koda KD50 Pool Cue

The Koda KD50 pool cue is built around contrasting woods: an 8-point design in cocobolo and bocote on a black stained forearm, and an alternating cocobolo and bocote pattern on the black stained butt sleeve. It is a playing cue for shooters who value detailed wood work and a linen-wrapped grip.

Beneath the woodwork, the shaft is a 29-inch length of hard rock maple, and it has a 12.5 mm Le Pro tip plus a 10 mm glossy black collar. The 5/16 x 18 joint joins shaft to butt, and a black double pressed Irish linen wrap provides the grip. Ring work in cocobolo and bocote accompanies the wrap, and a compression bumper sits at the base.

Black stain is the base colour, with brown cocobolo and bocote tones throughout, and the black Implex butt cap keeps the bottom dark. Weights available are 18, 19, 20 and 21 oz, chosen at checkout. A 10-year warranty that includes warpage comes with the cue, so the shaft and butt are covered as well as the looks.
