How to choose the right cue for your game
Weight
Most players prefer 18–21oz. Lighter cues (18–19oz) give more control. Heavier (20–21oz) generate more power. Start with 19oz if unsure.
Recommended: 19ozTip size
12–13mm tips suit most players. Smaller tips (11–12mm) offer more spin control. Larger tips (13mm+) are more forgiving for beginners.
Most common: 12.75mmWrap type
Irish linen wraps absorb moisture well — great for competitive play. Leather wraps feel premium. No wrap (wrapless) gives direct feedback through the cue.

Hard Rock Canadian Maple is the gold standard — consistent, durable and responsive. Low deflection shafts help with accuracy on off-centre shots.
