Five cues, five colors, a weight for every player — the ASKA L2S5 is the complete house cue solution for bars, pool halls, and larger game rooms. Built on the same Canadian hard rock maple shaft and 5/16×18 stainless steel joint as the L2S4, this set adds a fifth cue in brown and doubles up on the most popular weight: two cues at 19oz, one for each end of the table. The signature 10mm maple ring at the butt end — natural wood matched to the shaft — gives every L2 cue a finished, quality look.
What’s in the Set
- Red — 18oz — lightest; maximum cue ball control and precision on position shots
- Green — 19oz — balanced feel; the most popular all-around weight
- Brown — 19oz — second balanced-feel cue; two players can shoot at 19oz simultaneously without sharing
- Blue — 20oz — heavier hit; more momentum on long shots and break shots
- Black — 21oz — heaviest; powerful break cue weight, maximum force transfer
The two 19oz cues are the practical advantage of this set — 19oz is where most recreational players land, and having two means no one waits.

The 10mm Maple Ring — L2 Series Signature Detail
At the base of each L2 cue, just above the white butt cap, sits a 10mm ring of natural maple wood. Made from the same Canadian hard rock maple as the shaft — creating a matched look from tip to butt. The natural wood grain contrasts cleanly with the colored forestock and white butt cap, giving each cue a finished appearance that stands out from plain house cues.
Choosing the Right Weight — Cue Weight Guide
Cue weight affects how the cue ball responds after contact. Heavier cues transfer more momentum; lighter cues give you more feel and control:
- 18oz — Better Control: ideal for finesse shots, position play, and players focused on spin and English. Good starting point for smaller players or beginners.
- 19oz — Balanced Feel: the most widely used weight in recreational and club play. This set includes two at 19oz — one for each side of the table.
- 20oz — Strong Hit: noticeably more power on breaks and long shots.
- 21oz — Powerful Break: maximum force transfer on the opening break.
What Makes Canadian Hard Rock Maple the Standard
Canadian hard rock maple has been the dominant shaft material in pool cues for decades — dense, consistent grain-to-grain, predictable flex on every stroke, holds its straightness over time. The ASKA L2 uses 29″ Canadian hard rock maple with a pro taper for smooth, consistent performance shot after shot.

L2S5 vs. L2S4 — Which Set to Choose?

- L2S5 (this set) — adds Brown (19oz), giving two cues at the most popular weight. Right for bars, pool halls, and groups of 4+ where two players often prefer the same weight.
