Make Better Shots with Quality Pool Cues

Is it the stick that makes the player? That depends on where you play as well as how often you play. If your someone who plays all the time, for example, in a league, or weekly with your friends, you most likely will have your own stick. If you are the person who only plays pool after a night out drinking with friends or that rare occasion you and your friends get together to play. Most likely you will have to use a stick that is at the pool hall, so it will not be a custom fit and perhaps that may be the reason your game is off. Here are a few simple tips to look for when choosing a stick, whether it be your personal or the one your borrowing from the pool hall down the street. If you consider yourself a beginner then I would suggest a heavier stick. The heavier the stick the better chance that it will not roll around and you will have a better grip. If your shooting and you’re a beginner the last thing you would want is to shoot on your turn and have the stick be so light that your stick may slip out of your hands by using the wrong stick. If you’re an expert or professional shooter and you happen to have a stick that is heavier than most sticks. Imagine it is your turn and you grab your stick go and try to shoot the nine ball in the left corner pocket, you are getting the feel of the shot , so you pull back and release. Then BOOM! Your stick was much heavier than usual so you did not have complete control of the stick at hand. Your feeling down and you then realize that the saying you would hear people say was true, you need a stick that is right for your level of expertise. That is something that you will not get from a public pool stick that everyone and there grandmother has used down at the local pool hall. If you aresomeone who is playing pool at least once a week then I feel it would be a wise decision to invest in your own stick. Buy at least two sticks and make sure that they each weigh different. That way if you have improved your game then you can use the lighter stick as well as when you happen to be having an off night, which we all do from time to time then you can use your heavier stick. That doesn’t mean that if your not playing as frequently then you should not invest in your own stick. You should have your own stick after all that is one of the only ways you will improve your game. I hate it when I go out to play pool with some friends and I am spending what feels like an eternity searching for the perfect stick. I had my own stick for awhile but it has since been lost in a cross country move.
