Butt & Joint Protector: $825

BurcHowdy FW Shaft & Joint Protector: $500

Oh, no, not at all. I’m not suggesting Santa shoots with a Character Cue.

I’m suggesting you do. 🙂

Santa’s Fargo is going to be the most deft beast you ever held. Purple heart core means density. In another universe Purple Heart is the source of both gravity and the strong magnetic force. Here on earth, it’s just a perfect core wood when you want a cue that doesn’t cower, but steps forward and says send me.

Cue the biblical goosebumps. The sacrifice you normally make with a purple heart core is the same as its benefit: mass. All that weight in the back makes a stick that oversteers. Wags the dog. Fights your eye.

Not so with Santa’s Fargo! Paired with the BurcHowdy FW (forward weight), the balance point is a healthy 19.5″ from the bumper. So instead of telling you what to do, Santa’s Fargo is the 300lb security man forever waiting your nod. Mass that knows its place. A cue that says Send Me, then carries you to glory.

Ultra low deflection, 12.13 mm medium Ultraskin means english out the wazoo, a short game played with a scalpel wielded by a 300 lb security man who does what you say exactly how you say to do it.

Control. Santa’s Fargo. Don’t wait.

Welcome to Character Cues!

I’m Clayton Lindemuth, gritlit author and cue builder. My Character Cues are crafted from spalted Pennsylvania hardwoods, live edge, and burl from the woods around me. I process and stabilize, slow dry, and build cues the old school way. Not in a hurry. Ain’t setting records. Work day and night and build less than 50 a year.

Cuemaking is my divine charge and my goal is always to showcase God’s creativity and way. I’m proud of these sticks not because of my part, but because their beauty is palpable — it baffles me. I could never have dreamed them, yet they came from my hands. Only God can put words in the mouth of a mule.

Signed, Numbered, Impossible to Replicate

Every Character Cue is a unique creation. Burl grows where trees are attacked and suffer. The fungus that eats rotting wood leaves lines and colors behind. Suffering, death and decay become cue art. Again, only God…

Each stick has a name and a story.

Hand Crafted for You

Uncompromising Quality: Butts hang 6+ months, reduced in size monthly

Personalized Options: Buy a butt while it’s hanging to make payments over time and choose your pin (3/8-10 mod standard; Radial, Uniloc QR available), collar, and weight.

Shaft Versatility: Pair a Character Butt with your favorite shaft. Or get the full Character Cue experience with a matching shaft and/or extension. Choose from carbon fiber, maple, ash, beech, walnut, cherry, white oak, honey locust, hickory, purple heart, or sassafras. 3″ -12″ Extensions optional — both simple and matching the cue design.

Owners love Character Cues signature poise and hit, driven by full-core construction and the natural density of stabilized wood (check product pages for core specs, and take into consideration tip, ferrule material, shaft material and pin size when analyzing hit).
