November 15, 2025

Introduction: From Hibernation to Dominance — Your Cue, Your Wisdom

Every billiards enthusiast yearns to evolve from the "Dormant Dragon in the Abyss" to the "Dragon in the Field" master. We believe this transformation is fueled not just by effort, but by a tool that matches your wisdom and ambition.

The ARES CUE "Xuan Long" (Dark Dragon) series is an advanced cue that deeply integrates ancient Oriental I Ching philosophy with aerospace-grade carbon fiber technology. It is more than just a cue; it is a promise of power, precision, and lasting quality—your loyal companion through every critical moment of your billiards journey.

I. The Dragon in the Abyss: Design Wisdom and the Power of the Totem

The name "Xuan Long" draws its essence from the I Ching philosophy of advancement, symbolizing the entire process from restraint to breakthrough, and from refinement to eruption.

🐲 Black Dragon Emerging from the Sea Totem: The hand-drawn Xuan Long motif on the butt is delicate and profound, a constant reminder to the player: your power is accumulating, and every shot is a prelude to ascension.
Target Audience Positioning: Built specifically for Intermediate to Professional players. Whether you are seeking to break through a plateau or pursue stable competitive performance, the Xuan Long perfectly matches your needs for progression.
Butt Selection: The butt features North American Hard Rock Maple, providing a solid and reliable foundation for overall power transmission.

II. The Dragon in the Field: The T1100 Carbon Fiber Golden Ratio

The core performance of the Xuan Long shaft lies in our groundbreaking use of an exclusive cross-winding technique utilizing a blend of T700, T800, and T1100 imported carbon fiber cloths. This is not just a mix of materials, but a deep understanding of performance balance:

Hardness & Elasticity Golden Ratio: We found the perfect balance point between power and precision—the "80% Hardness, 20% Elasticity" golden ratio. This imbues the Xuan Long with unstoppable power and silky precision, making every stroke as decisive and swift as the Dragon emerging from the deep.
Alloy Slow-8-Tooth Joint: Features a high-precision Alloy Slow-8-Tooth joint, ensuring tight connection and structural integrity for efficient and stable power transfer from the butt to the shaft.

III. The "0 Maintenance" Commitment: Fearless Against the Elements

The maintenance struggles of traditional wood cues are a major distraction for serious players. The "Xuan Long" permanently ends this trouble, delivering a "0 Maintenance" promise:

Aerospace-Grade Carbon Fiber: The shaft utilizes aerospace-grade carbon fiber material, which is unaffected by bumps, humidity, or temperature changes, fundamentally eliminating the risk of warping that plagues traditional cues due to environmental factors.
Hydrophobic, Anti-Sweat Grip: The grip combines a specialized hydrophobic layer with top-layer cowhide featuring an Elephant Ear texture. This unique design not only offers superior anti-slip and anti-sweat properties but also completely eliminates the risk of sweat corrosion.

IV. The Path of Progression: The Innovative Balance of the 11.8mm Taper

Our taper design reflects a deep insight into the player's journey of advancement:

Innovative 11.8mm Taper: This size is innovatively positioned between the small-tip cues (extreme precision) and the traditional large-tip cues (greater elasticity), making it the perfect transitional choice for players moving from familiarity to mastery. It retains the precision advantages of a small tip while possessing the stable elasticity of a large tip, allowing players with different habits to adapt quickly and avoid a steep learning curve.
West-End Design and Rear-Shifted Balance: The meticulously crafted rear-shifted balance layout makes the cue easier to handle, ensuring players of all heights can find the most comfortable and controlled striking posture.

Conclusion: The Dragon in the Field, Break Through Yourself

The ARES CUE "Xuan Long" is a cue born for transformation. It represents not only the highest standard in carbon fiber technology but also a commitment to personal breakthrough.

Let the "Xuan Long" accompany you from dormancy to dominance, and witness your own evolution on the path of billiards.
