Pool Cues

Pool is a sophisticated game requiring patience and careful calculations. Many hold the game in high regard. A pool cue, in layman words is the long stick used for directing the balls into the holes in the pool table.

There are pool cues that are labeled by brands. Some of them are Action, Adrenaline, Blaze, Blizzard, Cuetec, Elite, Fury, Griffin, HRUSA, Joss, Lucasi, Mayhem, Mcdermott, McFarland, Meucci, Mezz, OB, Outlaw, Pechauer, Players, Poison, Predator, Schon, Scorpion, Sierra, Sterling, Tempest, Tiger, Viking, and many more.

The increase in number of cue makers in the world is attributed to the fact that cue making and machining are more easily accessible now. Many cue makers create cues of high quality, but only a very meager percentage of them continue to make cue sticks of museum quality.

A pool cue may look like a long stick to the unobserving eye but it is made of many parts. They are the tip, ferrule, tapper of shaft, shaft, joint, shaft collar, butt collar, forewrap, points, butt, inlays, wrap grip, afterwrap, sleeve, butt cap, and the bumper.

Specific action must be taken in the preservation of a Cue Stick. It is necessary to ensure that its present condition will remain intact and not reduce the originality of the cue. For example, George Balabushka, Herman Rambow, and various other cue makers used the Brunswick Titlist cue as the source for a large number of cues.

Pool cues are not looked at as a game instrument but also as a collection worthy. This is due to authentic and custom made original pieces. The most elite of cue collectors look for originality when collecting. Due to this as well as long term preservation of cues of artistic value and historical significance, the collectors must ensure that the cues are as original as it can possibly be. It is essential that cue collectors are aware of the importance of the above stated. Cue collecting is a relatively new activity and most collectors are unaware of the importance of originality.

In order to reduce the risk that can occur due to warping, the cue stick must never be leaned against anything on its tip and should be stored in a place that has little or no temperature variations. Most often it is places in a hard or Soft Case to enable easy transportation and protection form aspects such as moisture and sudden changes in temperature. For cues that have a protective finish, the use of abrasive sandpaper must be avoided as it will scratch the surface or remove the protective finish.
