Viper by GLD Products Junior 48" Pool Cue, Pink Bones, 16 oz — Solid Maple Two-Piece for Beginners

The Viper by GLD Products Junior 48" Pool Cue in Pink Bones is a compact two-piece maple cue engineered to give beginners and players in tight spaces better control and a stylish look.

This 48-inch cue trims about ten inches off a standard stick to make aiming and cueing simpler where room is limited—dorms, small apartments, rec rooms and basements. Built from solid maple with a Le Pro leather tip and an ABS joint, the Junior cue balances durability with an approachable weight and length for newer players and smaller hands.

How does the shorter 48" length change play?

A shorter cue reduces the arc of your stroke and shortens reach, which helps with alignment and steadier shots when space is restricted. It also makes cue control more accessible for players who are still developing their stroke mechanics.

• 48 inches total length — easier to maneuver in tight quarters
• 16 ounces — lightweight for improved hand control
• Shorter leverage — simplifies aiming for beginners

What materials and construction give this cue its feel?

The cue is carved from solid maple hardwood for a consistent, smooth flex and a natural hand feel. A gradual taper along the shaft provides predictable feedback on contact, and a Le Pro leather tip helps maintain clean contact with the cue ball.

• Solid maple build — durable and responsive
• Gradual shaft taper — promotes a smooth stroke
• Le Pro leather tip — reduces miscues and improves cue-ball grip

How do I assemble, use, and store the two-piece Junior cue?

The cue breaks into two halves with an ABS joint and a 5/16" x 18 brass pin for secure connection and consistent feel. Screw the halves together before play, chalk the tip, and when finished unscrew for compact storage or easy transport to a friend’s place.

• ABS joint with brass pin — reliable lock and consistent feedback
• Two-piece design — quick assembly and compact storage
• Rubber butt bumper — protects the cue during play and transport

Does the Junior cue fit standard pool tables and different player sizes?

The Junior cue is fully compatible with regulation pool and billiard tables and standard balls. Its 48" length and 16 oz weight are tailored to smaller hands and learners; adult players who prefer a full-length 58" stick should consider a standard Viper model instead.

• Works on standard pool tables with regulation balls
• Designed for beginners, youth, and compact spaces
• Alternative available — choose a 58" Viper cue for full-length play
