The Action ACT136 Exotic Series Cue delivers just that: refined materials, bold design, professional features, and an approachable price point geared for players who mean business.

Whether you’re a committed amateur, a league competitor, or simply someone who wants a cue that sticks out (in a good way), this cue bridges the gap between style-forward aesthetics and true performance. With its 29″ hard rock maple shaft, 13 mm vacuum-sealed boarskin tip, and a weight-adjustable build, you’re getting serious spec for the money. And the black-stained wood with white & blue point inlay design ensures you’ll be shooting in style.

Key Features & Benefits

13 mm 7-layer vacuum-sealed boarskin tip — This tip provides excellent grip on the cue ball, allowing you to apply English, follow and draw with confidence. The layered boarskin build increases durability and responsiveness. 
29″ Hard Rock Maple shaft with 10-12″ pro taper — Built for stability and consistent feel, the shaft uses premium maple and a pro-tapering length so your stroke stays smooth and predictable. 
Weight-changeable system (≈18-21 oz) — Customize the feel to match your stroke and game style. Some players prefer lighter for finesse, others heavier for power; this cue gives you the flexibility. 
Stylish forearm & butt sleeve design — The black stained hard rock maple is overlaid with white & blue point designs, paired with a white Irish linen wrap to bring both premium look and feel. 
High-quality joint and ferrule assembly — Use of a 5/16 × 18 joint pin (a common high-end spec) and a 1″ fiber linen ferrule gives you strong hit feel and consistent performance. 
1-year manufacturer’s warranty — Backed by warranty coverage against defects, giving you added peace of mind that you’re getting a serious cue, not just a decorative piece.

Who Is This Cue For?

• • Intermediate to advanced players who want a cue that looks sharp but performs even sharper. The premium materials and design make it a credible tool for serious play.

  • League-night competitors who need a reliable cue for consistent breaks, positional shots, and mid-game control — but don’t want to spend top-tier cue-prices.

  • Upgrading players who are moving up from beginner cues and want better feel, better materials, and a weight system that evolves with their game.

  • Style-conscious shooters who appreciate how their equipment looks just as much as how it plays. The white linen wrap and bold blue/white point design make this cue a visual statement.

  • Gift buyers looking for a cue that hits a sweet spot of value + performance + eye-catching design — this cue offers good “bang for buck”.

Care & Usage Tips

• • Break-in/initial shots: New cues often benefit from some moderate usage so the tip beds in and the shaft settles.

  • Tip maintenance: Keep the 13 mm boarskin tip shaped and scuffed properly to maintain contact and control. Replace when layers wear out or performance drops.

  • Clean the shaft and wrap: After each session, wipe down your shaft and wrap to remove chalk dust, oils, dirt. With a white wrap, this is especially key to maintain the visual.

  • Storage & transport: Use a decent cue case (even if one isn’t included) to protect the cue from warping, temperature/humidity changes, and joint damage.

  • Joint care: Since joint protectors may not be included, consider purchasing one to keep the 5/16 × 18 pin protected when the cue is disassembled.

  • Weight adjustment: If you change weights (18-21 oz options), make sure you’re comfortable with the feel after switching. Heavier feels more “plow”-like; lighter gives more finesse.

  • Avoid leaning cue upright for long periods (can cause shaft warp), and avoid leaving in hot/humid places (eg. car trunks) which can damage wood.
