Viper Spider Cue and Casemaster Cono Case

At 48 inches this cue is noticeably shorter than a full-length stick, which makes it the answer for a basement table with a wall too close behind it, or a compact table wedged into a corner. The solid wood build and even taper give a steady, predictable stroke, and the nylon wrap keeps your hand from sliding. Brass pins in the joint hold both halves tight so nothing rattles. The soft case that comes with it flexes instead of cracking when the cue gets knocked about.
