Beginner's Guide to Pool Cues
Starter Cue Brands
I'm a beginner. What cue would be a good "first" cue?
One of the first things we tell our customers that are new to the game is that they don't need to go and spend hundreds of dollars for their first cue. Players new to the game of billiards should be looking for a basic cue with a firm hit. This is going to be the most forgiving cue and for most beginners is the best cue type to learn the game of pool. In most cases, you're going to be looking at cues under $150.
The brands that will be most suited to the beginner will be Action, Mayhem and Players. In addition, if you're looking for a cue with a fiberglass shell that will provide additional protection against dents and warping, Cuetec and Scorpion are also excellent choices.
As always, if you need help selecting the right cue for you, call us toll free at 866-THE-DAWG and one of our billiards specialists will be happy to help you out.
