Shaft Joint

Our shaft joints and inserts are made with double black linen phenolic tubes and rods. Although Phenolic adds an extra cosmetic touch, it also helps increase power from the joints while keeping the wood to wood feel. The Phenolic is much more durable than wood allowing connections to stay true to their form much longer. All parts are custom made in our factory and threaded to make sure you get the purest hit and solid feel every time.

Tiger offers the most amount of choices when it comes to joint types for our high performance or low deflection shafts. If your cue joint is not a stock item, it doesn’t mean we can’t make it. Although it might fall under a custom category, in most cases Tiger can make it! For more information, ask your local dealer!

Core Technology

Today most cues pretty much look the same from outside, but are they made the same way internally. Actually not most cues are not made the same way, at least ours is not. What makes our cues different, why is Tiger better, why should you buy Tiger cues? These are all great questions and after you take few minutes to read about how it’s made, you will understand why.

We only select and purchase A+ exotic wood from companies around the world, some by personal visits to their plants and some during conventions. Since we buy in large quantities we get better prices than most.

After we purchase the wood we let it cure as long as it takes if possible. If we need to use it in the shortest amount of time, the minimum is 1-2 years. It is not what you see from outside that makes our cues special or stand out from the rest, it is what you don’t see. That’s our internal construction, which has taken many years of trial and error.

Since our 5X patented lamination system has been working great for shafts, we decided to use the same concept as a core in our cues.

What does the core do for the butt of the cue?

It helps to achieve radial consistency, adds solid hit and more power. It helps you moving cue ball better and easier and helps to eliminate any vibration.

What does it do for us?

It allows us to balance each cue weight to an acceptable weight from 17+ to 21 oz and helps us control the perfect balance point for each one.

How is the core made you ask?

5X is a 4 piece lamination process from outside using a same number of wood grain in each piece. All Hard Rock Maple used has straight grain and is aligned so the grains move towards the center of the shaft creating the perfect X effect. This helps us create the perfect 360 degree radial consistency.

The 5th piece is our elongated square going from one end to the other, adding unsurpassed feel, while keeping the integrity of the natural Maple hit and feel. If you want more detailed information, please read it in the shaft technology section for all the benefits of the 5X patented lamination technology system.

Introducing the Tiger® Joint Pin

All new Tiger Cues, X2 and Sneaky Pete series cues made after September 1st, 2016 will come with new Tiger joint pin. Stainless steel is used for Pool and Aluminum for Billiards. New Tiger pin is specially designed by Tiger Products to give the player, the tightest and most precise connection for a cue.

It is fully guaranteed not to come loose during play. Tiger pin adds consistency, an unsurpassed feel and power to your game every time. It is proudly made in the USA.

Rubber Bumper & Weight Technology

After many years of testing different rubber bumpers, we came to one conclusion. If we want the bumpers to perform properly, we need to design our own and ensure it does what a rubber bumper is supposed to do. Most rubber bumpers on cues today are pretty much the same. Since most come from the same factory, they are not specifically made for Billiards.

We custom designed a rubber bumper for a unique look and enhanced performance. You’re probably wondering a rubber bumper for enhanced performance? YES, we make our bumpers with the right angle to protect the butt cap. The quality of the rubber is unlike any in the market, making the Tiger rubber bumpers the most durable in the world. With that said, our bumpers help absorb and eventually eliminate vibration, making every hit a pure one!

The weight bolt system size used for Tiger cue is 5/8 (18)”. One inch bolts are 1 oz and half inch bolts are .5 oz. This allows us and you to adjust the weights from 17+ oz. all the way to 21 oz., while keeping the proper balance for each cue.

Cue Internal Joint

Cue manufacturers don’t usually talk about the internal cue connection. You don’t see it, but it’s there. At Tiger Products, we don’t just use metal parts you could get at your local hardware store. In fact, we don’t use metal parts at all internally. Each part is made from scratch by our experienced technicians to give you the strongest possible connection. Even if it takes the most expensive materials to create the perfect joint connection, we will use it! We wanted to share this this information with you to help you understand what goes in to making Tiger Cues, and how each detail is a part of what makes Tiger Cues the best in the world!
