I had to get one because I had a small blind spot in my Billiards room, but this shorty is not the Viper with the layered leather tip they advertise in their photos. There's only one of those tips you can get at Wal-Mart. I went to Mart for a $20 cue that isn't even made of leather. The shaft end is terrible, with a dark grey discoloration that runs the length of it and, as if that wasn't bad enough, it arrived warped. I removed the made in Taiwan sticker from the side before anyone came over to avoid embarrassment. It's slightly warped, and there's no way to put a weight in it without drilling. It feels as light as a toothpick, and there's no way to put a weight in it without drilling. Don't waste your money on this; it's complete garbage.
A shorty cue is required for tight rail shots because one end of our pool table is close enough to a wall of windows. We tried using a 40" at first, but none of the adults could get used to it (my elementary-aged daughter was one of them). However, my adolescent daughter enjoys it). So we went with the 48" in the hopes of a more natural feel. It arrived today, and we tested it out with a couple of games. So far, it appears to be pretty good. Our experience differed from that of several other reviewers in that the tip was attached and in good condition, the shaft was straight, and the varnish appeared to be in good condition. All of this is to say that we're not particularly good at the game and don't take it seriously. We spend time as a family around the table, but none of us are professionals, so we don't invest in expensive equipment. We weren't expecting quality of this caliber for $200, so we're delighted: This cue is superior to anything we've ever used in a bar or billiards hall, and it allows us to make shots in confined spaces. I'll update my review if anything changes or breaks in the near future.
This is a brief cue. br>There are two flaws.
1 - To remove the plastic tag, unscrew the rubber tip on the bottom. It's not a big deal; it's just a little more difficult than it needs to be.
2 - The grip area of the shaft has been encircled by rings. They're a little sharp, and they should've been sanded during the manufacturing process. br>br>However, for something that is only used occasionally, it is adequate.
I bought a pair as a gift, and they turned out to be fantastic. Unless it's particle board made from hardwood scraps, these aren't real hardwood. This is complete nonsense. I bought a pair as a gift, but they were warped when they arrived. When I tried to bend one back into shape, the top 12" snapped off, revealing the pressed wood inside.
Before the kids got their hands on it, I used it to test it. I check everything first to make sure it's okay. The tip fell off on my third gentle (extremely gentle) stroke. This is a shabby tip that isn't worth anything. Purchase is not recommended.
Unfortunately, the does not appear in the description. The dimensions are correct. Unfortunately, the truth is not included in the description. I hoped to be more savvy than this, but even a week later, the stick I purchased is now half the price, making me wonder if I read these reviews, as I do with every order? I could take a branch from my yard and make a more accurate cue than this could ever hope to be. br>br>This is something you should not buy. br>br>This cue was created by; If you contact me with your attempt to disprove this embarrassment, I will not make a youtube video demonstrating how demeaning this cue is to the game of billiards. What's the point of putting a tip on it in the first place? Or perhaps a lot less rubber on the buttocks?.
This is the third one I've bought. For the price, I didn't expect a work of art, but I did anticipate them being straight. When they were rolled on the table, they all wobbled. It's not worth the trouble.
If your child wants to learn how to play pool and has access to a pool table, this is a great option. A two-piece cue is unnecessary for a child who is not permitted to enter a pool hall, so a one-piece cue was ideal for young children to learn on. The cue is extremely durable, and despite living in our garage, where it is subjected to humidity and extreme heat, it has performed admirably. The tip is the only flaw in this cue; I would recommend replacing it as soon as possible.
