Why a Custom Pool Cue?

If you are serious about your game then you will need to get yourself a Custom Pool Cue.

If you have played pool or billiards at the local club, then for sure you know how annoying it is to have to pick a cue from the public rack. The tips are flat, the cues are not straight. A million excuses for the game you are about to lose to your friend who comes with his own, custom pool cue. “What is the big deal?” I hear you say. Its just a stick after all… Well, you’d be wrong. There are a million and one reasons why, if you take your game seriously, you should get yourself your own custom pool cue. I am not going to list them all of course, but there are many. Are you thinking it is expensive?ï Well, it depends on how much you want to really get to grips with your game.

Custom pool cues can really make a difference in your game, mostly because they are constructed to your needs. Also, you may feel more confident using your own pool cue because it is unique and designed to your liking, including the design on the stick itself. So, how do you go about customising your own pool cue? Well, in this case, size does matter. Length and width, no matter what they say. The pool cue should feel comfortable in your hand, never too small for you to grip or too wide to feel manageable. The length is also a key factor. Not too long for your arm and not too short that you don’t get the leverage you need to hit the white ball accurately. In addition to these dimensions, the weight is a vital variable which should be taken into consideration. Now, if you are going to order a custom pool cue, all these proportons can be requested to suit your personal needs. Of course, if you don’t want to splash out immediately for your own specific needs there are many used cues which would be much more affordable to get you started and to show you the difference of playing with a custom pool cue.

A good way to start in your discovery of Custom Pool Cues would be to get hold of The Blue Book of Pool Cues.

The Editorial on cue collecting by noted journalist Tom Shaw must not be missed. This new 3rd Edition is a must have title for any serious Pool player.
