The Viper Graphstrike 58-Inch Fiberglass Graphite Composite Billiard Cue weighs between 18 to 21 ounces. Both the butt and shaft of this cue are made from multiple overlaid layers of fiberglass graphite composite and has a veltex wrap which prevents slipping. With no wooden materials it is impervious to warping and is an ideal billiard cue for damp locations. Composite materials are less likely to get marked with dents or scratches compared to wooden cues. The 13mm genuine leather tip provides better ball control. The Viper Graphstrike is given multiple coats of poly resin and a final hand buffing which creates a smooth finish for a even and consistent stroke.
