Limited Production Exclusivity: 1 Piece Only

When you select the EXICS-09SF Santa Fe Collection cue, you are acquiring a singular work of engineering and art. This is not a mass-produced model, but rather a carefully crafted limited edition piece. The exclusivity of owning a cue from such a restricted production run elevates its significance among collectors and dedicated players who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship and rarity in billiard equipment.

• Created specifically for 2009 ICCS showcase
• Hand-crafted from exotic woods
• Collector’s item status

Dual Power Core Technology Performance

At the heart of this cue lies Exceed’s sophisticated shaft construction. The Hybrid Pro2 shaft delivers the solid hitting feel and weight balance stability that demanding players require. This technology is engineered to provide consistent performance across every shot, whether you’re executing delicate finesse shots or powerful breaks.

The Dual Power Core technology concept underpins the construction philosophy, creating a shaft that responds with precision and reliability. This approach to power distribution across the shaft’s core ensures that impact energy transfers efficiently from your hand through to the cue ball, resulting in improved accuracy and control.

• Hybrid Pro2 shaft construction
• Moori M premium tip for enhanced contact
• Weight: 19.5 oz for balanced feel
• Wavy joint design for smooth connection
• Solid, responsive hitting characteristics

Native American Design Inspiration

The Santa Fe Collection draws its aesthetic inspiration from Native American artistic traditions. The design elements incorporated into this cue reflect a deep respect for indigenous artistic heritage, transforming a functional sporting instrument into a visual celebration of cultural artistry. The name “Santa Fe” itself evokes the vibrant artistic community of the American Southwest, known historically for its appreciation of Native American craftsmanship and design.

This design philosophy is more than decorative, it represents Exceed’s philosophy that a quality billiard cue should engage both the player’s skill and their sense of aesthetics and cultural appreciation.

Kirikane Artistry Craftsmanship

One of the most distinctive aspects of the EXICS-09SF is its incorporation of Kirikane artistry. This ancient Japanese technique involves hand-cutting and layering precious materials to create intricate visual patterns. The Kirikane craftsmanship visible on this cue demonstrates the level of detail and artistic dedication Exceed applies to their premium limited production models.

The hand-cut nature of this work means that each element has been individually crafted by skilled artisans. This process cannot be rushed or mass-produced, which is precisely why the Santa Fe Collection remains a limited production offering. The visual depth and complexity achieved through Kirikane layering elevates the cue from mere sporting equipment into genuine functional art.

• Hand-cut Kirikane artistry details
• Traditional Japanese craftsmanship techniques
• Layered precious material construction
• Intricate visual patterning
• Requires skilled artisan work

Wrap Options: No-Wrap Design with Wood Grip

The Exceed Santa Fe Collection cue features a no-wrap configuration with natural wood grip. This design choice offers several advantages to the player. A wood grip provides direct contact with the cue’s material, allowing players to develop a stronger tactile connection during play. The absence of wrapping materials means you experience the cue’s balance and weight distribution with maximum sensitivity.

The natural wood grip also complements the artistic design elements, as the exotic woods selected for this cue’s construction become part of the visual presentation rather than being obscured by covering materials.

Shaft and Tip Specifications

The technical specifications of the EXICS-09SF are precisely engineered:

• Shaft: Hybrid Pro2 technology
• Tip: Moori M premium tip
• Joint: Wavy design for secure connection
• Grip: No-wrap wood construction
• Weight: 19.5 oz
• Brand: Exceed

The Moori M tip is recognized among players for its consistency and response characteristics. Combined with the Hybrid Pro2 shaft, this pairing creates a cue that responds predictably to various stroke speeds and shooting situations.
