Dynamite Billiards DB3 Nitro Carbon Fiber American Pool Cue – 12.5mm HOW Black Tip – Designed by Darren Appleton

Dynamite Billiards by Darren Appleton brings to you the Diamond Series of cues crafted for American Pool. Darren has achieved the American Pool Grand Slam, being World Pool Champion, World Pool Masters Champion, US Open Champion, World Cup Winner and 8-time Mosconi Cup Winner. A fighter on and off the table, these cues reflect his personality – charismatic, clinical and strong like a diamond. The Diamond Series has been tested by Darren Appleton himself, using decades of professional experience on the baize to enhance your playing experience.

American Pool is a cue sport that requires the application of English (side spin) on most shots to manoeuvre the cue ball around the table. These cues have a Nitro carbon fiber shaft that minimises deflection, improving your potting accuracy when using spin. The 12.5mm HOW BLACK tip, selected from the finest quality Japanese leather in the world, provides optimal access to all points on the cue ball for maximum manipulation and reaction.

Nitro Shaft:

The nitro shafts, constructed from high grade Japanese carbon, have the perfect balance of stiffness and flex. They give you the responsive striking feel of a wooden shaft while offering the low deflection and power of carbon fiber. The shaft does not have any coating, providing a remarkably smooth and delicate feel compared to other carbon fiber shafts. This smooth and powerful feel not only gives you the confidence to take on any shot but also makes the entire process of hitting the ball more intuitive.

HOW Black Tip:

HOW Black Tips are made from eight layers of high-quality, black-dyed Japanese premium leather, which, due to its exceptional stability, prevents mushrooming and ensures long-lasting durability. The unique composition and processing of this leather offer excellent cue ball control and provide precise feedback with every shot.

A genuine black Irish linen grip gives premium comfort when handling the cue, coupled with a radial 3/8-10 joint that absorbs vibration from shots, presenting the ultimate feel for striking the cue ball. The Diamond Series has sophisticated modern decals on the cue butt for a vivid expression of character to complement its pinpoint accuracy. Selected and tested by one of the most credible names in American Pool, join the Dynamite Team and cue your way to greater heights!
