(Black) Fiber Joint Rings 1"O.D. x .629 I.D.
The Role of Fiber Joint Rings in Cue Making
In professional cue construction, fiber joint rings are precision-engineered components specifically designed for the joint area of the cue. Positioned between the joint collar and the forearm or shaft, these thin yet durable rings play a vital role in reinforcing the connection where the cue experiences the greatest mechanical stress while enhancing its visual appeal.
Made from high-density vulcanized fiber, these rings provide both strength and refinement. Structurally, they create a stable, shock-absorbing interface that prevents cracking, separation, and material fatigue over time. Aesthetically, they serve as a clean contrast separator between dissimilar materials such as wood, phenolic, metal, or composite components—adding definition and balance to the cue’s design.
Because the joint is one of the most visually and mechanically critical areas of the cue,
Fiber joint rings offer multiple benefits to cue makers:
Reinforce the joint to prevent cracking and separation under stress
Provide a reliable bonding surface for adhesives and finishes
Absorb vibration and compensate for slight thermal expansion between materials
Add aesthetic appeal by creating a crisp, contrasting line between components
Maintain precise alignment for a flawless, professional joint fit
By combining function with form, fiber joint rings elevate both the durability and visual harmony of a cue. Their ivory-white color provides a timeless, elegant accent that complements virtually any material combination—ensuring the joint area looks as strong as it performs.
