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. Read more

It’s a nice stick, nothing special. Very light… I like a 20 or 21 oz stick but I guess you just get what they send you….. so that being said, I don’t recommend this stick for the simple fact of its weight. Update: to obtain the weight you might like you need to add weight bolts to your order for another $20+. I didn’t like the stick that much to pay another $20 for weights that may or may not satisfy me enough to change my review. Again, it’s just a bar room pool stick. Update: CRICAL customer service was great. CRICAL sent me weight bolts for this cue stick that made a tremendous difference in its performance. I like a heavier cue. That being said, if you like a light stick it’s perfect right out of the box, but for me I prefer a heavier cue. CRICAL does have weight bolts to go with their cues, sold separately, so keep that in mind. Read more

Love it. We play almost every night before dinner. I offered it to my wife to try it. It is now her cue. Had to order another. Read more
