Action Starter 05 Burgundy Cue: Sophisticated Style for the Emerging Player

Ditch the house cue and step up to the table with the Action Starter 05 (STR05). The burgundy-on-black look of the STR05 is a real class act--it looks like it belongs in a much higher price bracket. Part of the highly acclaimed Starter Series, this cue offers a rich, Burgundy Stained Maple finish that provides a sophisticated look usually reserved for much more expensive custom sticks. It’s the perfect choice for the player who wants a professional feel and a polished appearance without breaking the bank.

The STR05 is built with a unique "faux-wrap" style, featuring a Black Stained Maple handle. This gives you the sleek, uniform grip of a wrapless cue with the classic two-tone look of a traditional wrapped model. Combined with a solid hard rock maple construction and a professional 10-layered tip, this cue is designed to provide the consistency and feedback you need to master your stroke and improve your game.

Professional Engineering for Serious Value

The STR05 is packed with technical features that offer incredible performance for the price:

• 10-Layered Boar Skin Tip: Topped with a premium 13mm vacuum-sealed proprietary boar skin tip for superior chalk retention and exceptional cue ball control.
• Hard Rock Maple Shaft: The 29" shaft features a 10" to 12" pro taper, providing a smooth, predictable glide through your bridge hand.
• Solid 5/16 x 18 Joint: Equipped with a brass insert for a rock-solid, wood-to-wood connection that delivers traditional feel and maximum vibration feedback.
• Elegant Burgundy Finish: The forearm and butt sleeve showcase a deep burgundy stain over natural maple grain, protected by a high-gloss coating.

Key Features

• Black Stained Maple Handle: Offers a smooth, easy-to-maintain grip surface that provides a sharp visual contrast to the burgundy forearm.
• Weight Changeable: Features an internal weight bolt system, allowing you to customize the cue's balance and heft as your game evolves.
• Fiber Linen Ferrule: A durable 1" ferrule designed to absorb impact and ensure a crisp, clean hit on every shot.
• 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty: Backed by Action’s 1-year warranty against defects in materials and craftsmanship.

Technical Specifications

Pro Tip: Because this cue features a beautiful high-gloss burgundy finish, we recommend a soft microfiber cloth for post-game wipe-downs to keep it fingerprint-free. Since it doesn’t include joint protectors, consider adding a set of 5/16 x 18 protectors to protect that brass insert during transport.
