Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Kaze Pool Cues

Internal Carbon Core Technology: This is one of the most outstanding features. The carbon core helps transmit power evenly, increases accuracy, and reduces deflection (less side spin swerve).

120-Piece Splice Construction: Both the shaft and butt are constructed from many small wood pieces (often 120 pieces). This technology makes the cue super straight, highly resistant to warping over time, and enhances durability.

  • Length: Usually 1474 mm (58 inches) – the international standard for competition.
  • Weight: Ranges from 18 – 19.5 oz (approximately 510 – 553 grams), with adjustable weight options.
  • Tip: Often a Kaze 8-layer tip, with a diameter of 12.5 mm (suitable for Pool/Pocket Billiards), which provides excellent grip on the cue ball and supports spin (English) techniques.
  • Joint: Usually uses a Radial pin, which provides a solid connection, minimizes vibration, and is easy to assemble/disassemble.
  • Grip: Often features Elephant Grain Leather (or similar), offering an anti-slip surface for a firm, luxurious grip.

The Kaze cue, especially the Kaze Storm line with its Carbon Core technology and good balance, is suitable for both beginners (helps with easy cue ball control and accuracy improvement) and advanced/professional players (thanks to its powerful, precise power transmission and low deflection).

  • Prevent Warping: Always keep the cue in a dedicated cue case, avoid leaning it against a wall, or storing it in places with sudden changes in temperature or humidity (too damp or too hot).
  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the shaft with a soft cloth and specialized cleaner to remove dirt and hand oils.
  • Tip Replacement: The cue tip needs to be replaced when worn out or deformed to ensure accurate strokes and good spin.

Kaze cues typically use Low Deflection (LD) shafts, especially those with a Carbon Core.

This LD shaft significantly reduces cue ball deflection (the deviation of the cue ball when applying English/side spin), allowing players to hit hard spins with higher accuracy and easier aiming.

Market Segment: The Kaze Storm cue usually falls into the mid-to-high price range, reflecting its complex manufacturing technology (120-piece splice, Carbon Core).

Price Level: Depending on the model and store, the Kaze Storm cue can range from approximately $180 to $320 USD (or more) for a complete set. (The local price in Vietnam is around 4,500,000 to 8,000,000 VND).

Kaze (especially the Storm technology line) is often compared to other technology cue brands such as Fury, Mezz (Ex Pro, WX Sigma lines), or certain Cuetec models (with Carbon Composite shafts).

This comparison usually focuses on deflection capability, straightness, and hit feeling.

Although the Kaze Storm is famous for its Hybrid (Internal Carbon Core) shaft, which increases durability and reduces deflection, the company may also offer full Carbon Composite shafts, depending on the latest models.

A Carbon Composite shaft (if available) typically provides a stiffer feel, extremely high durability, and maximum deflection reduction.

Advantage: The Radial joint provides a very solid and flush connection between the shaft and the butt. This helps the cue transmit power more uniformly, giving the feeling of hitting with a solid, one-piece cue, thereby improving accuracy and shot feedback.

The Radial joint is also a common type, making it easy to find replacement parts.

The butt of the Kaze cue, although constructed from 120 pieces, usually utilizes high-quality woods like Maple, sometimes combined with other exotic woods to create patterns and necessary stiffness, while ensuring optimal weight and balance.
