A personal cue in Red — a classic, high-visibility color that's easy to spot on any rack. Same L2 construction throughout: Canadian hard rock maple shaft, 13mm leather tip, 5/16×18 stainless steel joint, and the signature 10mm maple ring at the butt end. Select your weight above.

Choose Your Weight

• 18oz — Better Control: finesse shots, position play, spin and English. Lighter feel in hand.
• 19oz — Balanced Feel: the most popular recreational weight. Good all-around choice if you're not sure where to start.
• 20oz — Strong Hit: more momentum on breaks and long shots. Noticeably heavier stroke.
• 21oz — Powerful Break: maximum force transfer on the opening break. Some players keep a 21oz specifically for breaking.

The 10mm Maple Ring — L2 Series Signature Detail

At the base of the cue, just above the white butt cap, sits a 10mm ring of natural maple wood. Made from the same Canadian hard rock maple as the shaft — the light natural grain contrasts cleanly against the red forestock, giving the cue a finished look from tip to butt.

Who This Cue Is For

• Players who want their own cue rather than sharing a house set at a bar or game room
• Anyone who plays 18oz — Red is the standard 18oz color in L2 sets, so this is the natural match if you already know your weight
• Players adding Red to an existing rack — a single replacement or addition without buying a full set
• Anyone who just prefers Red — high-visibility, classic billiard color

Table Compatibility

• ✅ Any standard 7, 8, or 9-foot pool table
• ✅ Bar tables, home tables, club tables
• ❌ Tight spaces may require a shorter cue — ASKA short cues are available in 36", 42", 48", and 52"

Frequently Asked Questions

Which weight should I choose?
19oz is the most common starting point — balanced feel, widely used, comfortable for most players. If you play a lot of break shots and want more power, consider 20oz or 21oz. If you focus on finesse, spin, and position play, 18oz gives more feedback.

Red is 18oz in L2 sets — does that mean I should buy 18oz?
In the standard L2 mixed-weight sets, Red represents 18oz — but as an individual cue you can order it in any weight. The color is just a color here; pick the weight that suits your game.

What is the maple ring at the bottom of the cue?
The 10mm maple ring is a natural wood accent at the butt end, just above the white butt cap. It's a signature design detail of the L2 and L3 cue series — made from the same hard rock maple as the shaft.

Is this a full cue or just a shaft?
This is a complete 2-piece cue — shaft and butt included. Screws together via the 5/16×18 joint, no tools required.

How long will the tip last?
With regular use, a hard glued-on tip typically lasts 1–2 years. Re-tipping is a standard billiard shop service and inexpensive when needed.

I want more than one cue — is there a set?
Yes — ASKA L2 cue sets are available from 2 to 10 cues with mixed weights and colors in one purchase.
