You could search forever and never find a cue that feels comfortable to you right away. It usually takes a little time to get comfortable with anything new. A good pool cue can be many different thing to many different people , but there are some factors to consider when putting out your hard earned cash. You want a cue that is straight , feels good in your hand and comes from a reputable maker that will stand behind it. Forget about screw on tips , they are junk. If a good leather tip is glued on properly it should never come off. I prefer LePro or Triangle tips myself. They are made of good hard leather and as long as you don't overdo it with the scuffer they will last a long time. Remember that having your own pool cue won't necessarily make you a better player, but it does help in the consistency department. gl 2 u.

The Pool Player makes the Cue Stick work. A good pool player can use any pool stick. You can buy a Cue for $5,000, I have seen it done, and still be a lousy pool player. Or you can use one off the rack and own a table for as long as the pool hall is open, I have also seen that done.
Its not the Cue Stick that makes the player, it is the Good Player that makes the shot.

First of all don't go to Wal-Mart to buy one. Go to a pool table store ask the guy what he recommends and why. You need a light weight cue and one that a new tip can be screwed in when the tip falls off and it will. A good cue can cost $50 and up it should have a case to protect it when you are not using it.

Different manufacturers will tout their own specialty, but basically the cue must be comfortable to you. Most two-piece cues manufactured today are going to be straight and decent, whether they cost $20 or $200. Look for these features, in this order; 1) something you can afford, don't go crazy into debt! 2) a cue that is a comfortable weight and feel to you 3) design, yeah you want it to look good, but it doesn't make you shoot any straighter! BTW, I shoot with a Meucci, but I know players who could whip my butt even if using a Wal-mart special.

Pick a weight that feels good to you.
Roll the stick on the table to make sure it is straight.
Then look at the tip , the curve of the cue should be rounded about the same as the edge of a quarter and have plenty of tip left.
A lot of people have their own sticks but I say you can make it or miss it with any good stick.
Good luck!

when it dont wobble, be slanted.
roll it across the table and if you see a gap or it wobbles then its a bad cue stick.
