POOL CUES: A GUIDE FOR NEWBIES

You've started playing pool, a lovely game, and are thinking about getting your own pool cue. If you've only recently started playing pool at a friend's house or your neighborhood bar, the dreadful one-piece house cue is probably the only stick you've ever used. Those cues were good while you were just "banging balls," but now that you're interested in the game, it's time to spend some money on some quality equipment to help you improve your skills and take your enjoyment of billiards to a whole new level.


Why do I require a separate pool cue?

Your first two-piece pool cue will provide you with immediate advantages due to its greater performance and dependability. As you practice using your own stick, you'll grow accustomed to it and develop a "feel" for how it shoots. Cutting in the 8-ball or mastering the proper amount of cue ball drawback will become second nature. Owning your own pool cue will significantly speed up your quest to improve as a player, and it will serve as your dependable ally as you pursue your objectives.


Function/Performance: Any one-piece house cue at the neighborhood pub will never perform as well as a two-piece cue of decent quality. Bar cues are roughed up and frequently have loose ferrules, warped shafts, damaged or subpar tips, and morally dubious shafts (they do live at a bar after all). Your personal pool cue will have a much better-quality shaft with a tip, ferrule, and taper that are intended to shoot more straightly and generate more spin when needed. Because the wood has been properly aged and cured, it will be stronger, more resilient, and better able to maintain its straightness. Additionally, the cue will be appropriately balanced and contoured for a pleasant stroke.


When pool cues have "Low Deflection Technology," their performance makes the next significant leap. Pool players who are professionals utilize low deflection cues. They are constructed using unique materials and manufacturing techniques that increase the shaft's precision when imparting side spin. Low deflection cues are excellent for players of any ability level, including beginners, because they are also more forgiving on straight shots.


Consistency: Even purchasing a cheap two-piece cue will improve your game's consistency. You can have faith that your equipment will work as planned by just using a nice straight cue with a correctly rounded tip. You'll be able to concentrate better on your game because of this and understand that your pool cue did not cause you to miss a shot.


Familiarity: When you get comfortable with your cue, the benefits of constant repetition truly show. When you use your own cue stick to shoot, you get to know both its and your own strengths and weaknesses. It will start to feel like an extension of your body, which will boost your self-assurance and make it easier for you to enter the "zone" quickly.
