Hand made DEFINITIVE FINEST MATERIALS SUPERLATIVE CRAFTSMANSHIP There are more expensive cues available but there are none finer than PowerGlide Hand Made. Only the finest woods survive the rigorous PowerGlide selection tests as suitable to be built into a Hand Made Cue. Each Hand Made Cue is fashioned from a single piece of mature top quality ash selected for its uniformly spaced straight grain, strength, weight and just the desired degree of rigidity to provide perfect power at the cue tip. This single piece of ash stretches from butt to tip. The butt is created from four or more carefully selected overlays of fine hardwoods hand spliced to the shaft, enhancing the balance and enriching the appearance of the cue. Each cue is turned and finished through a series of complex operations, each executed with great skill and meticulous care, to become a highly individual realisation of the cue maker s art.
