Xcel XC12 Red Curly Design Pool Cue

Anyone after a red pool cue at an entry-level spec should look at the Xcel XC12. It comes from the XC curly-design line in the Xcel range, where cues share a hard rock maple shaft, a 13 mm tip and a 5/16 x 18 joint, and it works for casual bar, league or home play.

The 13 mm layered green soft tip sits on a 100% hard rock maple shaft that measures 29 inches. The shaft also carries a glossy black collar of 10 mm, while the butt gets a cream Implex cap and a compression bumper. Nothing here is fussy, and the specification is easy to read at a glance.

The red curly design covers the wrapless handle, with black as the second shade. Weight options run 18, 19, 20 and 21 oz, selected on the product page before you add the cue to your cart, so the XC12 can be matched to your stroke, whether you like a lighter cue through the ball or a heavier one behind it.
