The
Catawba pool cue from Sierra is simple elegance. In this
cue, the guys show that the natural beauty of the materials
used can be just as valuable as inlay work. The forearm and
butt sleeve are gray-stained birdseye maple. The wraps are
soft-tanned, medium-grain calf skin leather, which simply
feels delicious in your hand.
The ivory colored butt plate is set off
from the cue with a simple single ring of ebony. The
stainless steel joint, with 5/16 x 14 joint pin, is
bracketed by Sierra's signature dashed rings. These
three-layer rings are black on the outside (one thin, one
thick), sandwiching a thin ring layer consisting of sixteen
maple dashes alternating with sixteen ebony squares. The
maple shaft is crowned with a 13mm fibre linen ferrule with
a Le Pro tip.
This is the cue for you if you value
quality materials and construction, and excellent
playability, over glitter and pizzazz. This is the sister
cue to the Cherokee. Joint protectors are included.
