Choosing the right billiard cue can completely transform your game. Whether you’re a casual player or a competitive league member, the right cue helps with control, accuracy, and consistency. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know before buying a cue.
Are you an aggressive breaker, a finesse player, or somewhere in between? Players who rely on power might prefer a stiff shaft and a heavier cue (19–21 oz). Finesse players often choose low-deflection shafts like those from Predator for better cue ball control.
Shaft: Look for low-deflection technology if you want reduced squirt and more accuracy.
Tip: Soft tips offer more spin, while hard tips deliver more power.
Joint: Stainless steel joints feel solid, while wood-to-wood joints give a softer hit.
Predator: High-tech shafts, great for precision players.
Meucci: Smooth hit, classic designs, ideal for all-around play.
Mezz: Japanese craftsmanship, perfect for players who value feel and balance.
