Quote on inspectionHow to Choose a Cue
The three things that actually matter.
Every cue manufacturer will tell you their cue is the best. They can’t all be right. Here’s what actually changes the way a cue plays:
1. Shaft construction
The shaft is the business end of the cue. Low-deflection shafts (hollow or radially-laminated) make aim easier because the cue ball squirts less sideways when you use english. Traditional maple shafts have more deflection but a classic feel many players prefer. Carbon-fiber shafts are the newest option — stiffer, more durable, and dead-consistent.
2. Tip
Hard tips give you less grip on the cue ball and more cue ball action, but they require more careful aim. Soft tips are more forgiving for beginners. Medium is the sweet spot for most players. Layered tips (like Kamui and Tiger) hold their shape much longer than single-piece leather tips.
3. Weight & balance
Cue weight is a personal preference — most players land somewhere between 19 and 20 ounces. What matters more is where the weight is. A forward-balanced cue feels heavier and hits harder; a rear-balanced cue swings faster and is easier to accelerate. Try a few.
Not sure? That's exactly why our showroom is inside the parlor. Every cue on our wall is yours to try — head into the pool room, chalk up, and hit a rack with it before you decide.
