What I do not like about Cuetec R360 Pool Cue?

Rubber Bumper

At the end of the shaft, there is a rubber bumper. This bumper always fell off because it is not glued correctly. The base is made of metal. You might face issues of sliding of a cue from the hand when you are waiting for the next shot.

No case

Like other cue sticks, it does not come with a cue case. Cue case is really important to keep your cue safe and secure. You would have to buy one separately.

Low durability of the shaft

The shaft of Cutec R360 has low deflection and works quite well. However, it is not durable. You will always have to be careful while playing and storing it. Otherwise, it may dent the cue stick easily.
