The Sandringham is a cue that is not only hand-spliced once but twice, once in ebony and then in tulipwood. Some leading professionals feel that tulipwood has a subtle natural grip to it which enables them to hold the cue more lightly. The Sandringham is extremely eye-catching and striking, but this in no way detracts from its playability.

Weights range from 16 to 21 ozs. The cue is naturally balanced with no artificial weights needing to be used. Tulipwood is a dense exotic hardwood, the shaft is of hand-selected straight-grained North American ash which gives it a superb feel, and the ebony is extremely dark and blemish free.
