Action Starter 03 Red Maple Cue - STR03 - Black Handle

Action Starter 03 Crimson Cue: Vibrant Aesthetics and Professional Precision

Ditch the house cue and make a statement with the Action Starter 03 (STR03). The red-on-black color scheme here is a real winner--it gives off a "sporty" vibe that differentiates it from the more traditional brown and burgundy models. This standout model from the Starter Series features a bold Red Stained Maple forearm and butt sleeve that allows the natural wood grain to show through a deep, crimson hue. Accented by high-contrast Cream and Black composite rings, the STR03 offers a custom, high-end look that is perfect for the player who wants to combine classic style with a pop of modern color.

Designed for players who prefer a streamlined feel, the STR03 features a Black Stained Maple handle. This wrapless design provides a smooth, consistent grip surface, ensuring that your hand movement is fluid and uninterrupted. Underneath its striking exterior, the solid hard rock maple construction and professional 10-layered tip provide the stable foundation needed to master your game and improve your accuracy rack after rack.


Technical Precision & Quality Components

The STR03 is engineered with the same professional standards found throughout the Action line:

  • 10-Layered Boar Skin Tip: Features a 13mm vacuum-sealed proprietary tip designed for maximum chalk adhesion and superior cue ball control.
  • Hard Rock Maple Shaft: The 29" shaft includes a 10" to 12" pro taper, offering a smooth and predictable glide through your bridge hand.
  • Secure 5/16 x 18 Joint: The stainless steel pin and brass insert create a rock-solid, wood-to-wood connection for optimal energy transfer and tactile feedback.
  • Cream & Black Accents: Sophisticated cream composite rings at the joint and butt plate provide a classic "retro" contrast against the vibrant red stain.

Key Features

  • Black Stained Maple Handle: Offers a sleek, wrapless grip that is both durable and easy to maintain over long hours of play.
  • Weight Changeable: Features an internal weight bolt system, allowing you to customize the cue's balance as your playing style 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 commitment to quality with a warranty against manufacturing defects.
