The HOW Black is the touch player's tip — nine layers of selected pigskin built around feel rather than force. It sits slightly softer than HOW's Titan, which is exactly why players who live on precision reach for it. 9-layer construction from selected pigskin for a balanced, durable structure Slightly softer than the Titan — more touch and finer cue ball control Built for 9-ball and 10-ball, where controlled shot-making beats raw power Strong chalk retention for confident draw, follow and English Three hardnesses — Soft (S), Medium (M) and Hard (H) 14mm diameter, sold individually Choose the Black if you want feel and precision.
