The Poison Candy series is the color forward playing cue lineup from Poison, built for players who want their cue to reflect their personality as much as their game. Where the Maelith leans dark and aggressive, the Candy series goes vibrant and expressive, with bright two-tone colorways, rounded organic designs and the same 12.4mm Venom Carbon Fiber shaft at the core.
What Defines the Candy Series
The Candy series is built around a specific combination of construction decisions and aesthetic choices that make it distinct from any other Poison cue:
1
Vibrant Two-Tone Colorways With Rounded Organic Designs
Candy cues use bright, saturated color combinations, pink and light blue, green and yellow, peach and lavender, and others, with rounded, organic shapes rather than the sharp points found on the Maelith series. Metallic accents and silver carbon fiber detailing add a premium finish that gives the cue visual depth beyond just the base color.
2
Venom Carbon Fiber Shaft - 12.4mm With Soft Tip
Every Candy cue ships with the 12.4mm Venom Carbon Fiber shaft engineered by Predator, topped with a multi-layered soft tip. The soft tip is the right choice for carbon playing shafts where cue ball control, spin generation, and feel on soft shots matter more than the hard transfer of energy needed on break shots.
3
No-Wrap Handle
Every Candy cue uses a no wrap handle, giving you direct contact with the butt for clean feedback through the stroke.
4
Radial Joint - With Joint Protectors and Cue Bag Included
The Radial joint provides a precise, balanced connection between shaft and butt for consistent feel shot after shot. Every Candy cue comes with Radial joint protectors to keep the joint clean between sessions, and a soft Poison cue bag for transport and storage until you're ready to move to a hard case.
Candy vs. Maelith — Which Poison Series Is Right for You?
Both series share the same Venom Carbon Fiber shaft and core Poison construction. The difference is entirely in visual direction and tip choice:
Candy — Vibrant Colors, Soft Tip, Organic Design+
Bright two-tone colorways with rounded organic shapes, metallic accents, and a multi-layered soft tip tuned for cue ball control and spin. Built for players who want carbon fiber performance in a cue that expresses their personality through bold color rather than dark aesthetics.
Maelith — Dark Colorways, Shadow-Point Architecture+
Deep black and dark colorways with long-tapered shadow points, carbon fiber striping, and stainless steel accents. Same Venom shaft, different visual direction. Built for players who want their cue to project a commanding, understated presence. Browse the
Poison Maelith series if the darker aesthetic is more your style.
Frequently Asked Questions About Poison Candy Cues
Common questions answered below. Feel free to contact us if you need anything else.
What shaft does the Poison Candy use?+
Every Candy cue ships with the 12.4mm Venom Carbon Fiber shaft engineered by Predator. It delivers low-deflection performance, resists warping, and plays consistently regardless of environment. The same shaft technology is used across the full Poison playing cue lineup.
Why does the Candy series use a soft tip?−
Soft tips are better suited for carbon fiber playing cues because they hold chalk well, generate more spin on the cue ball, and provide a softer, more responsive feel on touch shots and finesse play. A hard tip is the right choice for break cues where energy transfer is the priority, for everyday playing, a multi-layered soft tip is the more practical choice.
What colorways are available in the Candy series?+
The Candy series is available in pink and light blue, green and yellow, peach and lavender, and additional colorways depending on current stock. Each colorway uses rounded organic designs with metallic accents rather than the sharp points found on other Poison models. Browse the full lineup above to compare available options.
What comes included with a Candy cue?+
Every Candy cue ships with Radial joint protectors and a soft Poison cue bag. The cue bag covers the cue during transport and storage until you're ready to upgrade to a full hard case.
Does the Candy series come with a warranty?+
Yes. All Poison Candy cues are covered by a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Contact us if you have a warranty question about a specific model.
