Viper by GLD Products Graphstrike Fiberglass 58" Pool Cue Stick, 4 Colors

This new pool cue is very good looking, looks like I spent a lot more than I did. It is very straight and feels good in my hand. The tip is great and holds the chalk well my game play has improved since getting my new cue stick, I'm very happy😀.Update: I have now played around 700 games with this cue stick.The shaft is not as stiff as I would like it to be it tends to impart some amount of squirt on the cue ball if you aren't careful. That being said, I find that I have been shooting better than I was with bar sticks. One thing that stands out above all the rest is the cue tip itself. It holds the chalk very well. I don't think that I have miss cued more than once or twice in the last 700 games I've played with it. And at $31 I am very happy with this cue stick.update: well over 1000 games played. It has been a good experience considering how much I paid.

Good Cue

So , the good,the cue actually played very well. I had two table runs on my first use. 7 games. My actual first use of this cue, I ran the table with it. Weight is good and cue control was actually really good. The bad, it's not perfectly straight. Actually the ferrul is straight. However, when jointed , it has an obvious curve. The ugly , when delivered the Beauty ring around the joint was completely not glued on and fell off opening the package. So...iafter some good glue...it's a good cue...but just good...it's much better than it's price point... way better than a house cue...100 x better than a house cue...the cue actually way outperformed my expectations! . If you have skills and play with others that do as well..and they are using a more expensive cue, well you're probably going to lose... however, for the price, it's really good..if you're looking for a cue to be more consistent with and will outperform 75% of house cues...well this works really well. The fact that you're playing with you're own cue and playing with the same cue everytime...just by virtue of consistency, you're going to play better... even if it's not perfect ..I was able to get good feel and feedback with it...I like, but I don't love it...for a 30$ price point and if you're used to house cues, you'll love it..I got the plain black one, thinking,it wouldn't draw attention and 5 people in the pool hall I was at,walked up to me and asked me about my plain black stick, while they were all holding much fancier and more expensive sticks...so much for not drawing attention to yourself with a plain black cue...it does have an attractive look and I suppose, being what I would call piano black, maybe draws people's attention,in a day with glits and glam and customizable, being affordable. Never in my life did I think this inexpensive, plain black cue, would draw the attention it did. UPDATE... sometime later playing with a friend, who owns a much more expensive cue. I beat him,then he politely said "let's trade cues" and he beat me me with this generic cue. Ain't that a kicker. I shaped the tip and we both used high end chalk. The thing that kills me , is the darn thing still isn't dead straight,and gets crazy English on the ball. You can totally over play this cue, easily. It's more of a finesse stroke than I ever imagined. Still not my fav.

Perfect weight. Great grip. Best pool stick I’ve ever played with

Very Sturdy. I use it as my Break Stick.

This stick was cool the first day I got it but it bent slightly after like 3 games, after like 10 games is was so warped that I had to find the wobble and point it down just to try to get a shot off. Build quality was horrible it feels like a catfish fishing pole and it makes a horrible sound when you connect with the cue ball. I got this hoping to elevate my game but instead it just became an hurdle that I had to try to overcome on top of trying to learn how to shoot. If you are looking at this stick I assume you are new to pool, do yourself a favor and skip this stick and go with a good known brand wood stick. This is absolute garbage I quickly set up a return on this.

This seems like an alright cue. The finish is consistent and it is straight. It could be that I am used to wood cues but the one thing i cant get over is the feel of the cue on the ball. Just very dead. Not something i love

Great for all pool player levels. sturdy, grip is great.

Perfect stick very nice

Ein sehr guter Billardstock

Looks good, nice and light.

Just sad. Not straight.

I am a professional and I used the cue stick for few months and the Taper came out of ferrule like a flower. Didn’t expect this from viper. I genuinely wish maybe the tip I got might be the problem but overall the stick was good. Wanted to keep this cue for a longer duration with me! As I really like it. GLD products if you are reading this. I genuinely like your product, maybe the tip I received on it wasn’t of good quality.
