Break Jump Series

The Action Break Jump Series is engineered for maximum utility and power, providing a specialized multi-functional tool for players who need to transition seamlessly between powerful breaks and precision jump shots. These cues are manufactured with high-strength phenolic tips and ferrules to withstand high-impact forces, and they feature a quick-release joint system that allows the back handle to be removed quickly for a shorter, lighter jump configuration. Built with the brand’s signature Hardrock Maple and balanced for explosive energy transfer, this series offers professional-level versatility for clearing obstacles and controlling the rack at an affordable price point.

Starter Series

The Action Starter Series is specifically manufactured to provide a reliable, high-quality entry point for new players looking to transition from house cues to their first personal equipment. These cues are crafted from solid North American Hardrock Maple and feature a standard 57-inch length, which is slightly shorter than the traditional 58-inch cue to offer better control and balance for beginners. Designed for durability and consistent play, the series provides a professional leather tip and a clean, classic aesthetic, making it an ideal "first cue" for those building their skills in a league or home setting.

Impact Series

Junior Series

The Action Junior Series is specifically engineered for younger players and those with a smaller stature, offering a scaled-down design that promotes proper form and technique. These cues are manufactured at a 48-inch or 52-inch length, making them significantly easier to maneuver than a standard adult cue while maintaining the high-quality construction of North American Hardrock Maple. By providing the same professional leather tips and balanced feel as the full-sized lines, this series allows junior players to develop their game with equipment that is proportional to their reach and strength.

Ring Series

The Action Ring Series is designed for players who appreciate the classic look of traditional custom cues, characterized by the inclusion of decorative rings at all major joint and handle positions. These cues are manufactured using premium North American Hardrock Maple and feature various ring styles—ranging from simple silver and white rings to more complex checkered or "dashed" patterns—which provide a high-end, sophisticated aesthetic. By combining this timeless design with a standard Irish linen wrap and a professional-grade leather tip, the series delivers the appearance of a custom-made cue while maintaining the consistent performance and affordability Action is known for.

Value Series

The Action Value Series is manufactured as the ultimate cost-effective solution for players who want a reliable, no-frills cue that performs significantly better than a standard house stick. These cues are crafted from solid North American Hardrock Maple and feature a clean, classic look with a variety of simple stained finishes rather than complex graphics or inlays.

By utilizing a standard professional-grade leather tip and a durable stainless steel joint, this series delivers a consistent hit and long-lasting durability. It is the go-to choice for budget-conscious league players or home table owners who need high-quality, functional equipment without the added cost of decorative flourishes.

Action Cue Cases

Action Cue Cases are manufactured to provide versatile, high-value protection for every level of player, ranging from basic soft-shell sleeves to rugged hard-tube designs. Built with durable materials like heavy-duty vinyl and featuring convenient accessory pockets, these cases are available in multiple configurations—including 1x1, 2x2, and 4x8 layouts—to ensure reliable transport and storage for both playing cues and specialized break/jump equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Action Cues good for beginners?

Action Cues are widely considered one of the best choices for players looking for their first "real" pool cue. They offer a significant performance upgrade over standard house cues at an affordable price point, making them ideal for developing consistent technique.

What materials are used in Action Cues?

Most Action Cues are crafted from high-quality, kiln-dried North American Hard Rock Maple. This provides a solid, traditional hit and better warp resistance compared to the low-grade woods found in "big-box store" cues.

Do Action Cues come with a case?

No. Action cues generally do not come with a protective case so if you plan on traveling with your cue, taking it to other people's homes, or taking it with you to league nights or tournaments, we recommend buying a case. If you are unsure what to buy, check out our article walking you through your options and providing recommendations.

What makes the Action "Break" or "Jump/Break" cues different?

Action offers specialized heavy-duty cues designed specifically for breaking. These feature extra-stiff shafts and phenolic or hard leather tips to transfer maximum energy into the rack without damaging your primary shooting cue.

Can I customize my Action cue?

Yes. Most action cues can be customized with your choice of tip, wrap, weight, and engraving. Also, they use standard joint connections allowing you to upgrade your shaft down the road as your game grows.

What type of joint do Action cues/shafts use?

Action primarily uses a 5/16 x 18 joint. Some Elite series cues use a 5/16 x 14 or Uni-Loc joint while some older models 3/8 x 10. If you're trying to match a butt or shaft, please double check which joint you currently have.

Is an Action cue the right choice for my game room?

Action strikes the perfect balance between style, durability, and cost. For a home game room where multiple people might be using the cues, Action provides a professional look and feel that can withstand frequent play without the high cost of a custom-made cue.
