Handcrafted Cues by Schmelke

Each Schmelke Pool Cue is built and designed by master craftsmen for straightness, hitting power, balance and durability.  All cues are made from the finest hardwoods, both foreign and domestic.  The shafts are selected from hard maple, first air dried for whiteness, then kiln dried and aged to guard against warping.  Each cue has a specially made tip mounted on a high impact fibre ferrule.  A choice of four joint styles ensures the hit and balance suited to each individual players game. 

All Schmelke cues have a specially designed UV finish, usually found on only the most expensive cues on the market.  All shafts are coated with a non-stick UV finish and hand polished to insure a satin feel and a smooth stroke.

Schmelke Shafts

• Standard shafts are made of high quality hard rock maple

• Our laminated shafts are also high quality hard maple only these are cut down, pieced and glued together to give a stiffer, more solid hit.  On average these shafts have about 22 laminations per inch.

• Both our standard and laminated shafts are turned down and finished the same way with our super smooth UV finish.

Schmelke Joints

• Joint #1 is solid brass 9/16 x 24.  Joint #1 gives the cue a very forward balance with a crisp hit and very little feel.

• Joint #2 is 5/16 x 18 stainless steel.   Joint #2 gives the cue a forward balance with a fairly crisp hit with a little more  feel than joint #1. 

• Joint #3 is 5/16 x 18 ertalyte.  Joint #3 gives the cue a less forward balance with a soft hit with a little more feel.

• Joint #4 is 3/4 x 10 directly into the shaft wood with an ertalyte collar.  Joint #4 gives the cue a less forward balance with a very soft hit and a lot of feel.
