CRICAL Carbon Fiber Pool Cue Stick 58" Billiard Cue Sticks Professional Low Deflection Pool Sticks with 3/8 * 8 Pin Joint and 12.5mm Tip

This is a review I never anticipated writing, but I actually am blown away by this product.Usually, most things fail to live up to the hype. This is one that actually surpasses your expectations, immediately. It's beautiful looking, and smooth as silk. It's going to take some time to get accustomed to the sound it makes striking the cue, but it shoots like a champ.I'm confident that this will improve most players games. I'm an "old timer" and have collected wooden Adam cues since the late 70s. This is a real departure for me, and I was certain that I would hate it.I was wrong. It's simply great, and an amazing value. I can't believe that they can make a cue of this quality, and attention to detail... and sell it for so little. It's like a gift.Just to add a quick note about the graphics.I was reluctant to purchase many of the carbon cues that I've seen due to the juvenile graphics. This one is subdued, tasteful, and beautifully done. I didn't think I would like the grip not being on Irish linen... but I do.You will love this cue, and it will serve you well for many years to come. It's so well built that it will likely become a legacy item in your family.Highly recommended. A pleasure to shoot with.

I'm very happy with my purchase of those Crical Pro Cue. I did my research on reddit and YouTube and it sounded perfect. I was looking for a carbon fiber shaft with a pro taper and low deflection. This is it! It improved my accuracy quick. I like the sticks snooth glide and transitions. I flows. I like the feedback I get from the vibration in the hand to let me know how hard or soft in shooting. It shoots like a laser for me. Plus it came with the extension already fitted with the plug and a special pouch for the extension on the hard case. Me and my friends like the classy piano look of it. It's a keeper and my main stick now.

After about 20 games through the stick im completely happy, doesn't come loose on breaks, well balanced, hits clean, shaft came with slight defection in the printed name on it but I dont really mind it stick still shoots beautifully.

This was the first cue stick I ever bought so I can't make comparisons. All other sticks were what ever was available. The stick is perfectly straight and glass smooth. I had no trouble using it. The graphics are well executed except for a small flaw as shown in the first photo. It weighs slightly over 18 oz so I wanted to try to add some weight bolts. No info came with the stick and there is nothing useful on the manufacturers website as to what to buy or how to install. I contacted them and they said the rear bumper could be unscrewed by hand - it can't. A youtube video suggested using a hair dryer to loosen adhesive - DON'T DO IT. There is no adhesive. There is a 5mm hex socket at the end of the bumper. A 5mm allen key easily unscrews the bumper - see photo. I'm still waiting on the manufacturer for info on weight bolts. All and all, I'm satisfied with the purchase.

The good: Cue plays brilliantly. Shaft texture is smooth, no glove needed. Tip was ready to play on arrival. Bag is adequate, cloth useful to have, spare tip helpful too. My first time using a carbon cue, the 'feel' on the shot is different to wood, but I was able to execute shots normally.The bad: I ordered the kit with a mini extension, and the extension didn't fit the cue. The joint was completely the wrong size. Not sure how this happened, but to compound things contacting the seller is practically impossible - after going in circles with amazon chatbots for a while I gave up trying to get help. After goggling and looking on the crical website I eventually surmised that the extension had an adapter plug thing fitted. I removed this using pliers, and found that the extension then fit. Seems ridiculous that this was necessary - why ship with an adapter fitted so tightly that's for a different joint, with no instructions. When fitted it isn't obvious that it is removable.

Really happy with the performance, the cue is very smooth you don’t need a hand globes with this stick. Weight adjustment options are available but you have to get is from buy it.

Exactly what I was looking for!

Crical, the manufacturer isn't responsive to questions about their product. I ordered the pool cue and wanted additional weight for the handle. On two occasions, the weights sent do not fit the handle of the CL-01 pool cue. Crical had no suggestions and will not respond to additional inquiry.
