CUES HOW TO SELECT ONE

First learn about cues. An educated buyer makes an intelligent choice. Ask what kind of game do you play. 3-c billiards, you need a thick conical shaft and a stiff cue made for that game. You need a thick spine in your cue.

Snooker, you need a longer lighter cue, with a very small 10 mm tip, made just for that game.
Pool, you need to identify what your main game is first.

If you are a bar box player you need a follow cue. A stiff cue that follows better than it draws. Most of your shots should be follows and you need to maintain cut angles on shots to avoid draws. Your cue ball in that game just does not draw well. You want a heavier cue, 20-21 ozs.

If your game is straight pool, 14.1 you need a follow cue as your key most important shot is the force follow into the stack to spread the balls. A stiff to firm shaft. Most of your shots will be very short. You are only playing on half the table, an area smaller than a bar box. Use a heavier cue, 20 oz.

If your game is 8 ball then you have longer shots, you are playing the entire table, and your shots are equally divided between draws and follows. You need a cue that draws and follows well. Finding a shaft that actually does this is not easy. 19 oz cue.

If your game is 9 ball then more of your shots will be draws and you want a lighter cue, pro taper with more flex in the shaft to allow you greater English. 18.5 to 18.75 ozs.
Ray Schuler understood this and made 5 different shafts. You were not stuck with just one taper. You could change shafts when you changed games. I am a dealer for the Schuler Cue. They are thought to be just a stiff cue, but they have softer thinner shafts. Schuler’s are expensive.

Most of you just pick out a cue because it’s pretty, or it’s the latest hottest cue around and you want to use what your pals are playing with. You really don’t know if your shaft is stiff, medium or soft do you. You never thought about it. Your cue may be totally wrong for the game you play?

The Balabushka line that I sell and that is the cue I play on tour with comes with a 13mm Lepro tip. It is stiff and off the shelf it’s perfect for bar box and straight pool play at 20 oz.

For 8 ball I would take the shaft down to 12.0 to 12.5 mm and lower the weight to 19 oz.

For 9 ball I would take the shaft down to 11.5 mm and to 18.50 to 18.75 ozs. Then the cue performs best for the actual game you are playing. Bushka’s are expensive also.

A heavier cue follows the ball best; a lighter cue draws the ball best. 20-21 oz is best for the follow stroke. 17-18 ozs is best for the draw. So everyone makes and sells most of their cues in 19 oz, which is a compromise between the two in the middle. Most of the cues I see, don’t do anything well. They don’t draw or follow real well. Most cues out there will either follow better than they draw, or draw better than they follow. You probably did not know that?

Rarely will one do both equally, unless it does both poorly. It will rarely do both real well. An example is the Balabushka. It follows real well at 13mm but draws average. Take it down to 11.5 and it now does both great. So go get some cues to play they have to be modified or customized. That puts you in a $400 to $500 cue.

You buy a cue off the net or from a Billiards store for $200 to the $300 range and most of them deflect bad and play poorly. They don’t follow or draw well, because they are made down the middle of the two. To get something that really plays it’s priced out of the range of most working guys on a budget.

These guys come up to me all the time and hand me their new cue and say, hit a few shots with it, doesn't it play great? I do, hand it back, smile and say, yes it does. I lie, because I don't want to hurt their feelings and tell them the truth that they bought a cue that plays like a dog and as long and they keep playing with it, they are everyone's easy meat. They have never had a real pro level playing cue before, so they don't know what one plays like and what it can do for their games.

Fast Larry to the rescue.

My new cue line is called: BIG KAUNA CUES designed by Fast Larry. The BK cue.

You get it, any way you want it. Get one, be somebody. Become a Big Kahuna.

Get some serious respect when people see it. An affordable cue, that you could go out on tour with and win. It out plays and out performs any other cue on Earth in its price range.

Cool colors, plays great, great prices.

Many look just like Meucci’s or very expensive custome cues, with designs that are jaw dropping.

The BK line of cues are priced in the $100 to $200 range. They look just like high end cues costing $500 to $2000. You can’t tell them apart. The colors and designs are beautiful, breath taking. They were designed by Fast Larry, a tour player, to play like a pro cue should. Larry can do his entire trick shot show with one, and has played on the tour with the cue and in a world championship. They have very low deflection. Very high accuracy, a nice hit and they shoot straight.

The BK cue, means, you get it any way, you want it.

Tips are Lepros, or the latest pig skin layered tips the pros are using. Any tip you want will be installed. BK, you get it your way for a change dude.

Our ferrule is the latest low deflection technology design.

The shaft is the very best hard rock maple wood.

We offer shaft tips sizes at 13mm and 11.5mm in stock. We can give you any size you wish. If you want 10mm, or 12.5, no problem.

You can have any weight of the cue between 17 and 22 ozs. Others will just offer you 19 and that’s it. Many ladies really need a 17 oz cue, and some big guys can handle a heavier cue. FL feels the perfect weight depends on the game you play, but 18.75 ozs would be the number if you averaged all the games out. Many of you are using a cue too heavy for your game.

Most joints are stainless steel, some are the Meucci type plastic the women pros love, all the pins are very strong steel, and some are the uniloc design.

Wraps are Irish Linen, or a beautiful white leather.

The anti vibration reduction limb saver device can be added. All of these items that are added on, or are modifications to the shafts, add some back to the base price of the cue, as you are now getting a true custome cue and no longer a stock cue. You can now actually order an 8 ball, or a 9 ball cue, and get one that performs perfect for that game.
