DESCRIPTION
Merlin 3/4 Jointed Cue
This full size, 58 inch, ¾ jointed cue is crafted by Peradon in England from the highest grade, kiln dried, North American Ash and exotic Ebony.
Manufacture & Specifications
The ash is carefully selected for strength and straightness
before the finest, genuine Ebony butt timber is spliced to the cue
by hand and the cue is shaped to produce the distinctive four round
point pattern of a hand spliced cue.
A stunning red composite with reptile scale effect patterning is
then hand spliced to the Ebony butt. In order to reduce stress to
the timbers the cue is then shaped over a period of time until the
final tapered shape is achieved, after which the numerous sanding
and finishing processes are then undertaken to achieve a 'silk
smooth' finish.
To eliminate joint problems the two sections of the 'quick action'
joint are each precision turned from a single piece of solid brass
and precisely fitted 12" from the butt end to give the shaft length
of 46".
The butt is finished with a Peradon Merlin name disc and 'quick
action' butt end joint to accept the optional extensions on the
'related products' section of this page.
Extensions may be fitted into either the ¾ joint in the cue or
into the butt end joint.
This cue features a solid brass ferrule and 9 ½ to 10mm Elkmaster
tip.

* The quality of the ash shaft is of the utmost importance when crafting a cue. Shafts are extensively selected with only a small percentage of the pieces processed making the grade for production of these cues. In order to maintain the highest standards of selection Peradon purchase more ash than any other English cue makers. For the highest quality hand spliced cues such as this the selection process is even more rigorous.
