What is the best pool cue to buy?

Question

what type of wood etc

Answer 1

A straight one doesn't matter what it's made from

Answer 2

Forget whats the best pool cue to buy because everyone have got their preference. My recommendation is first of all tell the shop assistant your budget and once he pointed the range, have a few stroke with each cue that you like, the cue will choose you and you will feel comfortable with the cue in your hand. Thats how u pick a cue.( I am a cue seller)

Note: Make sure you inform the seller of your budget or he will try and sell you the most expensive cue and convince you its the best.

Answer 3

the best one is the one you like best ...period!..I once watched Cliff Thorburn run balls with a broom handle and some chalk..dont let anyone suck you into buying something too expensive..remember ...its not the cue that makes the player its the player that makes the cue!..good luck

Answer 7

I agree with some of the comments already placed on this question and just to add this bit to it. If you visit a retailer and give him your budget he will lose interest if that is not that high, a beginner should be no more then £20-30 pounds as they wouldnt know if they like the game or if they can play it well. if you are a seasoned player then the   budget will be slightly higher. Say £50- 100. I personally play with a carbon fibre cue and has no weight to it at all, but others will like a bit of weight or even a heavy cue this is up tothe individual player. Try them out and dont buy the first one you try just to be quick in the line at the shop take your time and let the cue chose you and you it. Afterall it may be the only cue you ever but so be patient and look around in different shops too.

a good cue does not matter on wot type of wood it is it depends on what you feel comfortable wif so try some ques out maybe some of ur mates and c wot u play like wif them then choose out of what ques uv used and buy somethin like that
