Frequently Asked Questions

Carbon-Fiber vs. Maple - what’s the difference?

Carbon-fiber cues offer precision, durability, and low deflection, while maple cues provide a classic, natural feel and softer feedback.

- If you want a classic feel and feedback, go with maple.
- If you prefer precision, durability, and modern technology, carbon-fiber is the future of cue performance.

What tip hardness is best for my cue?

Soft tips grip the cue ball better, giving more spin and control, while hard tips last longer and deliver more power. Many players choose medium tips for the best of both worlds - control and durability. Check our Cue Tips Collection.

What weight pool cue should I use?

Cue weight affects your control and stroke power. Most players prefer cues between 19 and 21 ounces, opting for lighter cues for finesse and control, and heavier cues for stronger breaks. Experimenting with different weights helps you find your ideal balance.

How does cue balance affect gameplay?

Cue balance determines how a cue feels during your stroke. A forward-balanced cue provides more power and control for breaking, while a rear-balanced cue feels lighter and allows smoother finesse shots. The best balance depends on your personal stroke style.

What’s the best chalk for pool cues?

High-quality chalks, such as Predator 1080 Pure, Kamui, or Master Blue, ensure consistent friction and reduce miscues. Always apply a thin, even layer to your cue tip before every shot for maximum accuracy. Check our Chalks collection.
