How Do I Choose the Right Pool Cue for My Skill Level?

Choosing the right pool cue can make a real difference in how you play, especially as you grow in skill and confidence. Whether you’re just starting or you’re a seasoned player looking to upgrade, it’s important to match your cue to your playing style and experience.

For beginners

If you're just beginning to learn billiards, you'll need a cue that is well-balanced and consistent. I recommend that you choose a pool cue with a standard weight and medium-hard tip, which will help novices develop precise aim and control. Choose a cue that is durable and easy to handle rather than one that is overly specialised.

For the intermediate players

Intermediate-level players are already demanding accuracy and feel, and the frequency of matches is likely to be higher, so pool cue sticks should fulfil the need for portability. So, at this stage, try a 3/4 jointed pool cue, which combines portability and accuracy. These cues typically allow for better cue ball control and can be customised with different weights as your style evolves. A pool billiards cue with a low-deflection shaft might be a great next step.

For advanced players

Advanced players tend to seek out cues that offer customisation, enhanced feedback, and premium construction. If you play regularly or compete, investing in high-quality professional pool cues made from maple or ash can improve consistency. Many experienced players also use a separate break cue for added power during the opening shot.

Built for Performance, Trusted by Players

Whether you’re upgrading your equipment or buying your first cue, our cue sticks pool collection offers dependable options for every player.

Pool Cue FAQs

What materials are MARK RICHARD cue sticks made of?

Our pool cues are made from high-quality North American ash, combined with durable ferrules and leather tips. Premium cue sticks pool players prefer often feature improved finishes and balanced construction for better consistency and feel.

Are all cue sticks suitable for pool?

Not all cue sticks are designed for english pool. Cue sticks pool games require are different from snooker cues in size, tip diameter, and balance. The tips used for English billiards typically have a diameter between 8.5mm and 9mm, while snooker cues usually have a tip diameter of 9.5mm. Sometimes a snooker cue can be used to play English billiards, but most people wouldn't use an 8.5mm pool cue to play snooker.

Do I need a separate cue for breaking?

While some players use a standard pool cue for all shots, many prefer a dedicated break cue. Break cue sticks pool players use are designed for extra power and durability, helping protect your playing cue during forceful breaks.

What accessories should I buy with a pool cue?

Common accessories include cue cases, telescopic extension, mini-butt. These accessories can meet your various needs for daily training and entertainment, and they are all included in our pool cue sets. In addition, if you need chalk, replacement cue tips, and maintenance tools, you can add them to your shopping cart. These items help protect your cue sticks pool players rely on and ensure consistent performance over time.
