How Do You Buy A Pool Cue For Yourself?
Serious pool players eventually transcend the warped plague of house cues and opt to bring their own. Here are a few guidelines for buying your first cue. Step 1 Be prepared to spend over $100 for a good cue. Step 2 Buy a wooden cue. Aluminum bends and is very sensitive to temperature. Step 3 Buy a two-piece cue. It is much easier to transport. Step 4 Make sure the pieces of your two-piece cue fit together properly. Step 5 Get a hard case to protect and store your cue in. Step 6 Make sure the cue tip is leather and evenly rounded. The tip should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch long. Step 7 Try out several cues in various lengths, weights and shaft sizes. Step 8 Look for a cue that comes with a year-long warranty against warping and breaking.
