Keep in mind these factors when selecting your new pool cue:
- Wrap: The wrap of your pool cue is used for grip. Sticks come with a variety of fabrics wrapped around the shaft, including leather, rubber, standard felt and Irish Linen. Some shafts are simply constructed of wood, which offers ideal grip.
- Tip: The cue tip is the top portion of the stick that makes contact with the ball. The energy of your pool cue is transferred to the ball through this location. Softer tips absorb impact for greater spin. Harder tips do not absorb as much energy, creating lesser spin.
- Weight & Balance: Most cues weigh between 18 and 21 ounces. Some designs concentrate the weight in the back or front end.
- Joint: This stick component is essential to your shot. The joint is a screw that connects the butt and shaft of a pool cute. This is where you "feel" the shot. Consider the material in which the joint is made of.
Always consult product information for specifics on your pool cue model. Keep in mind that the harder materials. Most pool sticks are constructed of either wood or a fiberglass-graphite composite.
Just like billiards tables, pool cues have been valued for their aesthetic value. Intricate inlays, fine crafting and vivid hues often add to the appeal of your pool cue.
