Action Starter 09 Pool Cue - STR09 - Black with Nylon Wrap

Action Starter 09 Pool Cue: The Gold Standard for Entry-Level Performance

Ready to ditch the warped house cues and take your game seriously? The STR09 is essentially the "old reliable" of the billiards world—it's hard to beat that classic black-and-speckled-wrap look. The Action Starter 09 (STR09) is the perfect "first real cue" for players who want professional specifications without the professional price tag. Featuring a timeless, all-black aesthetic with a classic Black and White Speckled Nylon wrap, this cue provides a traditional look and a familiar feel that has helped countless players transition into league play.

Don't let the "Starter" name fool you; this cue is built with the same high-quality materials found in more expensive models. With a solid hard rock maple construction, a professional pro-tapered shaft, and a premium 10-layered tip, the STR09 offers the consistency and "hit" you need to develop a repeatable stroke and master cue ball control.

Technical Specifications

Pro Tip: Since the STR09 is a popular choice for beginners, we recommend pairing it with a simple 1x1 hard case to protect the shaft from warping. Also, don't forget a set of 5/16 x 18 joint protectors to keep those threads and the brass insert clean from debris!
