What weight pool cue should I choose?

Most players find 19-20 oz ideal for all-around play. Heavier cues (20-21 oz) provide more power for breaking, while lighter cues (18-19 oz) offer more finesse and control. Beginners should start with 19-20 oz as it provides good balance between power and accuracy.

What is low deflection in pool cues and is it worth it?

Low deflection (LD) refers to how much the cue ball squirts sideways when you apply english (sidespin). LD shafts have reduced tip-end mass, causing less cue ball deflection and making aiming more intuitive. They are worth it for players who use a lot of english or are struggling with accuracy on spin shots.

How much should I spend on my first quality pool cue?

For your first quality cue, $150-300 provides excellent options that will last years and support your development. Cues in this range feature straight maple shafts, quality tips, and reliable construction from brands like Action, Athena, and entry-level McDermott.

What tip size is best - 11mm, 12mm, or 13mm?

Standard tips are 12.75-13mm, which are forgiving and great for beginners. Smaller tips (11-12mm) allow more precise cue ball contact and spin generation but require more accuracy. For general play and learning fundamentals, stick with 12.75-13mm until you develop preferences through experience.

Carbon fiber shaft vs wood - which is better?

Carbon fiber shafts never warp, provide consistent hit regardless of humidity, and offer maximum low-deflection. Wood shafts provide traditional feel and feedback many players prefer. Carbon fiber typically costs $500-1500 for the shaft alone. For most recreational players, quality wood shafts perform excellently.

What brands make the best pool cues?

Premium American brands include Predator (low-deflection technology leader), McDermott (Wisconsin craftsmanship, lifetime warranty), and Jacoby (handcrafted customs). Mid-range value leaders include Cuetec, Viking, and Lucasi. Budget-friendly options from Action and Players serve recreational players well.

How do I know if a pool cue shaft is warped?

Roll the cue on a pool table or flat surface - a straight shaft rolls smoothly while a warped one wobbles. Also sight down the shaft like a rifle, rotating it to check for curves. To prevent warping: store cues vertically in a case, avoid car trunks and temperature extremes, and never lean cues against walls.

Do I need separate break and playing cues?

For serious players, yes. Break shots stress equipment significantly - the repeated hard impacts can damage playing cue tips, joints, and even warp shafts over time. Dedicated break cues feature reinforced construction, phenolic tips, and heavier weight optimized for powerful breaks.

What is the difference between 1-piece and 2-piece cues?

Two-piece cues disconnect at the joint (mid-cue) for easy transport and storage in cases. One-piece cues do not come apart. Two-piece is standard for serious players - the joint does not affect playability when properly manufactured. One-piece cues are typically inexpensive house cues.

How often should I replace my cue tip?

Replace tips when they are worn down to 1/8 inch height, become mushroomed (wider than ferrule), harden significantly, or will not hold chalk properly. Typical replacement frequency is every 6-12 months for regular players. Proper tip maintenance (shaping, scuffing, chalking correctly) extends tip life significantly.

Action RNG07 Pool Cue

I purchased this cue stick as my new breaking stick and I love it! I received the catalog in the mail and this cue was on the first or second page with a bunch of other cues and literally caught my eye instantly. Its gorgeous and was very affordable. Of course my first attempt at ordering it on line didnt go through. When I didnt get an email confirmation, I called and the trouble was immediately identified (my billing address was not entered correctly) and the lady quickly helped me with correctly submitting the order and I got my items within a week. Everything went great, I have no complaints at all. Thank you Money well spent.

Outstanding starter pool cue

gave this stick as a gift to a buddy on my pool team. He loved it. And won his first match with it the night we took out out of the box. Shoots true and has a good balanced feel. Pooldawg got this to my door in South Dakota in less the 48 hours. Outstanding. Only giving it 4 stars, because it’s still a entry level item, and doesn’t really stand next to a high end stick. But the style is excellent, it performs much nicer than any bar cue and it’s a terrific pool cue to enhance your confidence and as an up and coming shooter.

Great Pool cue

I bought this stick as my shooting pool cue. I absolutely love it. It’s weight is perfect. It’s smooth and feels great in my hand. Only downside was the tip. I had to replace it, but overall, a amazing cue for the cost.

Order of a pool pool cue

The cue I ordered was supposed to be delivered on December 21st. As of today I haven’t received it. Your company stated another one was to be delivered yesterday by UPS but it hasn’t was delivered yet. A UPS drop-off stated they didn’t deliver yesterday and have not arrived today. I can’t rate your pool cue until I can get it here. I am waiting patiently. Thank you.
