The Tempest LC-2 pool cue is a "tribute cue". It was inspired by a popular design from a well-known Italian cue maker. The forearm is gray-stained birdseye maple. There are four floating points in the forearm. The top halves of the points are synthetic ivory kites, ringed in ebony. The lower halves of the points are blue pearlescent triangles, also surrounded in ebony. The points are separated by synthetic ivory ovals, ringed in ebony. The forearm is set off from the wraps by a series of rings: thin black, thicker metallic blue, thin black, very thick persimmon maple, thin black, thicker metallic blue, and thin black. The wraps are pressed and waxed black Irish linen, having a very smooth, leather-like feel. The butt sleeve is persimmon-stained birdseye maple, featuring ebony-ringed white oval inlays separated by ebony-ringed blue pearlescent hourglasses. The butt sleeve is set off with metallic blue rings and black rings. The butt cap is black. The joint is polished stainless steel. The joint pin is a 5/16 x 14 size. The shaft is a specially-selected grade of hard rock Canadian maple. A fiber linen ferrule, 13mm in diameter, tops the shaft, and is fitted with a Le Pro tip. The shaft has a pro taper. This cue comes with joint protectors and a black sleeve.
