Hello everyone, I have seen many new players asking for help buying their first pool cue. The following information will hopefully be helpful when deciding which pool cue to purchase
1. Production pool cues are approximately 58 inches long and they come in a variety of weights from 17 to 21 ounces. In most cases when buying a pool cue you are able to choose the weight. Most players use a pool cue that weighs between 18 and 19 ounces however this is not set in stone. I would recommend the best of two world which in my opinion as far as weight is concerned is approximately 18 1/2 ounces. However, It can be changed very easily by removing the cues bumper to get too the weight bolt underneath. These white bolts can be purchased online for a very small investment.
Installation is as simple as using a screwdriver to remove weight bolt and screwing the new one in. Before ordering a new weight bolt remove the existing weight bolt and weigh it. This way if you want to increase the weight you can order the right weight bolt for your needs. Production pool cues have two types of standard grips, wrapped with Irish linen or unwrapped with no Irish. Whether you purchase a a pool cue with or without a wrap is nothing more than personal preference. The shaft on most production pool cues is 13 mm at the tip, however, this can vary depending upon the manufacturer.
2. Today most production pool cues are made in China or the United States. The price of pool cues can range from $50 dollars too many thousands of dollars. The prices of pool cues are based upon the manufacturer, the quality of materials and the quality of construction. Like everything else in life when buying a pool cue you get what you pay for nothing more and nothing less. When you get your pool cue in your hands check it out based upon the following information.
a. Check the pool cue to make certain that it is straight together and apart. You can do this by sighting down the length of the pool cue then turn it slowly. Next check the fit and finish of the pool cue. You can do this by running your hand over the surface of the pool cue. Pay particular attention to parts of the cue that has inlaid rings, points, along with the cues joint. If, you can feel the inlays or other materials through cues finish i would not recommend buying that pool cue. Because overtime those problems will become worse and they will crack cues finish.
I sincerely hope this is helpful. If you have any additional questions, please ask.
