Why Should I Buy My Own Pool Cues?
If you're serious about pool and want to play your best, it's important that you buy your own billiard cues. Whether you have a table at home and need a complete set or just want to buy your own to take to the pool hall, you need to know how to pick a quality pool cue so you can get your money's worth. Any real pool player will know how terrible the house cues can be at a local bar, bowling alley, or pool hall. They are sweaty, worn-down, out of shape, and may not have even been good quality cues in the first place. You never know what kinds of material you are going to find with standard issue house cues. It's so much better to just bring your own. Then you know exactly what you are playing with, and you can be sure to be comfortable and feel at the top of your game no matter where you play.
Be prepared to spend at least a hundred dollars or more on a nice cue. Although you can buy a cue all in one piece, it's kind of a pain to transport and is more likely to be damaged. It's a much smarter idea to buy a two-piece cue that screws together. It's important to invest in a solid case to protect your cue in transport. The most common type of case is the hinged box-style case that you often see in movies and on TV. A lot of players get this kind of case for just that reason. It is the "coolest" style of case. But there are other options too, including a tubular pool cue case that is more compact.
The cue you buy should be constructed from wood, not aluminum. Aluminum is a pretty weak material that bends and warps easily, especially when temperature fluctuates. There are a variety of woods that can be used, all of which are mostly a matter of personal preference. It might be a good idea to buy a cue with a fiberglass shell for extra protection against warping and damage.
One great thing about buying your own cue is that it gives you the opportunity to get a cue that expresses your personality. Any style and design you could possibly want is available at a billiards specialty store or online. There are a variety of colors and finishes available. There are many reasons to buy your own pool cues. If you really love the game, then it's a natural choice to get your own cue. Try out a variety of cues in different weights and lengths to see how they "fit" you and take your time.
Whichever one you pick, it should come with a money back guarantee against warping or similar damage. Don't ever trust the fate of an important game to the rickety house pool cue again. Invest in your own cue and take good care of it. Your passion for the game will show, you'll be a better player, and people will envy you for your confidence and commitment.
