The Excel-60 features a ¾ joint and is expertly crafted in England by Peradon using high-grade, kiln-dried North American ash and select exotic ebony.
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.
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 16" from the butt end to give the shaft length of 44".
The butt is finished with a Peradon Excel-60 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.

* 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.
All sizes are nominal.
