The Story Behind Remarkable Cues
Remarkable Cues was founded by Jay Sun after he identified a gap in the New Zealand pool equipment market. No carbon fibre cue available locally came with the small 9.5 mm ferrule and tip size that the two most widely played pool codes in New Zealand require. So Jay set out to build one.
Why the Gap Existed
Clubs New Zealand and NZIEF both play to international rules, the same standard followed in Ultimate Pool. That calls for a 9.5 mm tip.
Carbon fibre cues on the New Zealand market were built for different specifications, leaving local players without a high performance option that actually suited the game they were playing.
From Concept to Prototype
Jay travelled to China to work with Kelik, a specialist manufacturer, to design a prototype shaft from the ground up. The result is a 10.5 mm carbon fibre shaft with a 9.5 mm tip, made from T1100G carbon fibre cloth, with a choice of Pro Taper or Conical Taper.
The custom made ferrule and inlay ring, available in your choice of colour and size, mean no two cues need to look the same. The shaft range includes multiple joint options so the cue can be paired with any 9 ball butt. Butts are also available in a range of designs.

More Than Just Shafts
Remarkable Cues carries a full range of accessories including chalk holders, cloths, cases, and gloves, so players can put together a complete setup in one place.
