Gambit 3/4 Jointed 8 Ball Pool Cue
This 57” 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.
The decorative chequerboard marquetry front splice, featuring a black veneer framed between two Sycamore veneers, is then hand-spliced to the Ebony butt. To minimise stress within the timbers, the cue is carefully shaped over a period of time until its final tapered profile is achieved. 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 stainless steel and precisely fitted 12" from the butt end to give the shaft length of 45".
On this cue the shaft is fitted with the female section of the joint, whilst the butt is fitted with the male. Cleverly, this enables the player to remove the 12" butt section of the cue and screw the 6" mini butt (supplied with the cue) directly into the shaft. This makes a 51" cue for those occasional awkward shots in restricted spaces.
The butt of the cue is also fitted with a 'quick action' stainless steel butt end joint which will also accept the 6" mini butt supplied with the cue. This lengthens the cue to 63" enabling the player to use the cue more easily on some shots that require a rest.
The butt is finished with a Peradon Gambit name disc.

* 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.
All sizes are nominal.
