You don't need to spend a fortune to get a world champion level cue. Endorsed by world champion Johnny Archer, Scorpion cues like the SCO73 pool stick are warp resistant cues with unbeatable control, a stiff hit and professional level performance. The shaft is crafted in hardrock maple and the butt is grey stained maple with blue, black and white points that protrude from the black Irish linen wrap with white specks. Tiny white notched diamond overlays decorate the points. The cue is protected from atmospheric extremes by the Armor Effect technique, which encases the maple core with an invisible layer of fiberglass so the cue cannot be destroyed by external moisture.
