Xcel KS10S Black Pool Cue Shorty

The Xcel KS10S is a black pool cue shorty with a linen-wrapped handle, cut to 52 inches for players who need a shorter cue. It is an entry-level model from the Xcel KS line, and it suits anyone who wants a short cue with a wrapped grip. It is the linen-wrapped counterpart to the simulated-wrap KS01S, and the two share the same 52-inch length.

Black Irish linen covers the handle, and the butt carries a black Implex cap and a compression bumper. Up front, a 100% hard rock maple shaft measures 29 inches and has a 13 mm brown leather tip and a 10 mm glossy black collar, joined to the butt with a 5/16 x 18 joint.

The look is black throughout: black linen, a black Implex butt cap and a glossy black collar. Approximate weight is 18 oz, and that is the single weight listed, so there is nothing to choose between at checkout. The black linen and the brown leather tip give it a two-material look.
