Pool cues (American billiard cues) are the core equipment for the game of pool. The SportGoods catalog carries affordable starter cues as well as professional two-piece models. Prices start from 90₾.
Types of pool cues
- One-piece (1PC) cues — solid and durable, common for clubs and home tables. Affordable but less portable.
- Two-piece (2PC) cues — split in the middle for easy transport in a case; the standard for amateur and professional players.

Material and shaft
A quality pool cue is usually made of maple, which provides strength and a straight, consistent hit. Cheaper models use other hardwoods. Shaft straightness and balance directly affect accuracy.
Tip size
A pool cue tip is typically 12–13 mm in diameter. A thinner tip (≈12mm) gives more control and spin; a wider tip (≈13mm) gives a stable, powerful hit — better for beginners.
Choosing the weight
| Weight | Best for | Feel |
|---|---|---|
| 17–18 oz | Kids, light play | Control, spin |
| 19 oz | Universal (recommended) | Balanced |
| 20–21 oz | Strong break shot | Power |
How to choose a pool cue
- Beginner: one-piece or an affordable two-piece, 19 oz, 13mm tip.
- Amateur: a two-piece maple cue with good balance and a carry case.
- Break cue: a separate, heavier cue with a harder tip for the opening shot.
Care
Store the cue vertically or in a case, away from humidity, to prevent warping. Chalk the tip regularly and replace it when worn.
