When you are going to buy your first new pool cue, you might encounter people who advise you to get certain types of tips, joints, ferrules, etc. Don’t pay too much worry about it simply because it certainly won’t make you shoot any better. What you should more concern about is play with the cue as is, and as your skill develops, you should make note of what you like, dislike, and what changes might make you feel more comfortable in playing, and then use that criteria as your considerations on your next pool cue purchase.

Once an expert in pool game says that a good pool cue has to have a nice solid hit. He was driving crazy when he hears sound like a ting or ping sound when he stroke the ball. Then he recommends that the size and weight of a good pool cue is a 19 ounce cue with a 13 millimeter shaft with the average length of a cue is around 58 inches.

When I bought my first cue, I didn’t have much of an idea of what to look for, since I didn’t have much knowledge what any of the terms meant to be. Then I spent about $100 and I was sure whatever I got for that price was going to make me play in better shape. Then when time is coming to buy my second cue, I’ve had a firm considerations of what I wanted. But before making into firm purchase, I still listened to other player’s opinions and read some reviews of the pool cue brand I thought I wanted. And I was quite satisfied with my second pool cue purchase.

Finally, there is one aspect where you should pay particular attention is in durability and craftsmanship as you might spend considerable amount of money and you deserve to get the best in return. The bottom line in choosing the most suitable pool cue for you is that you should read the pool cue reviews and what other players said about, but the final decision is you and yourself alone.
