---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Secrets to improve your pool game in less than 30 minutes!
In this video, I tell you the best ways to improve your pool game without changing the way you play. From picking the cue weight that is best for you, Deciding on the proper cue length, Choosing the shaft diameter that best fits you, Where your balance point should be on your pool cue, and all about tips!
I’ve been playing this sport for 58 years and I can tell you, I pretty much agree with most of what you said. The bit about the glue and the layered tip seems a bit nit picky but other then that the entire video made complete sense.
You are a fountain of information.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience. It matters that you are both a player and a cue maker. One enhances the other.
You are more than welcome! Thank you for watching.
I really like your content. So much hocus pocus around pool equipment! A good stroke is the most important thing and I also can shoot fine with a house cue + a few pieces of sandpaper 😊.
This said though, I do think certain tips provide more "feel" and allow more "control". A local friend is about to release a new tip that has a beautiful feel to it.
Thank you for subscribing and following! I'm glad that you like it.
I am 6'-5" tall. 60" is way too short. Good rule of thumb for all players - measure from floor to halfway between your chin and lower lip. Thats how long your cue should be. 67"-68" is good for 6'-5".
After extensive experimentation, the best long cue is a two-piece butt because extensions (whether shaft or butt end) add too much weight and throw off the balance.
Thank you for this! I like your advice on ca on the sidewall!
I agree about the layered tip glue line! I've always had my reservations.
Thank you for watching.
Thank You for the imfo. Very detailed. I'm interested in a custom cue. How would we communicate to discuss the specifics ?

I like hearing from folks with different opinions. I admit that I differ with you on several points, but that's OK.
I keep my shooting cues as light as I can make them (under 19 oz. is my goal), and I use a 11.75 shaft with a soft tip. My theory is that when I master the equipment, I will be a better player. Most of the time, I am an average player, but when I am "in the zone" I wield that stick to its capacity. Being 6'3", I may try an extension. Just a little one, though, as reach isn't the issue.
Thanks, and have fun.
Great information!!! I’d like to hear your comments regarding Carbon Fiber vs Wood Shafts.
I am speaking with my channel partner about this very topic. While CF shafts have their benefits I do have my own reservations about them and do not want to discourage people from purchasing them. I may elect to do a video on this topic, but will have to do so in a non biased way.
Great job I enjoy your content very much keep up the good work
Thank you very much! Please stay tuned as there is more to come!
Thanks a lot for the informative video. How do you know if a Triangle tip is a good one before it is installed?
Simply check for cracking, and even sidewall height
@@CuemakersGuild Thank you!
How can I look at your cues? Really interested in your work and like your customer care you talk about. Thanks
I do not sell my cues in a way that would warrant a catalog. Each cue that I produce is a one of a kind creation. Your best bet would be to find me on Facebook here:

Very good video Sir. Very informative. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Stay tuned for more!
How do I look at your cues and how can I be able to get one ... thanks in advance.. I just found your channel and I love how u explain stuff and I subscribed .. how much would a 4 or 6 point cue with veneers and leather wrap be .. I'm not a fancy cue type fellow i just like basic points ... thanks
Hello Chris,
It is a little different with me as I produce one cue at a time and once it is completed, I sell it. With that being said, there is really no need for a dedicated website. Almost all the cues that I produce are sold via giveaways and can be found on my personal page on Facebook.
About the more english with a hard tip question versus a soft tip, my experience is a hard gives more english, but i will say that IF you have a really good stroke, you can put alot of english on, with any tip,,,, Bob Meucci has a video out explaining why a hard tip spins the ball more, his points were, a hard tip releases the cueball faster, and because the tip is hard it will spin it more, as far as the soft tip, it will absorb the cue ball, spending more time on the ball ,And get this, cause more deflection, because of the whipping of the shaft at contact, therefore throwing the cue ball more, because the tip absorbing more, seemed to make sense,,,, your info on layered tips has got me thinking now,lol, i use a hard kamui, triangle here i come!👍🎱
Good info about tips...thanks 👍
Thank you very much!
I have always played with a Water Buffalo hard tip. Couldn't agree more that hard is superior. Triangles are damn good too.
Great video. Thanks. Didn’t leave me with more questions this time…damn!
Glad you liked it!
Good info..thankyou 👍
You are very welcome!
can't teach an old dog new tricks is right. i recently had some sessions with a very reputable coach, and my game actually got worse. i stuck with what he taught me and now its picking back up, with better quality wins, and more accurate shot making and cue ball control.
This is super good info ...how can I contact u for your cues

Hey awesome info.....one thing I'd like to see is how to do a stacked leather wrap....
Not alot of video and hardly any start to finish info/videos
Let me what we can do for you, thanks for watching!
Good info thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve struggled with finding the cue that “feels” right for a while now. Cue balance has been the hardest to work out. I prefer a forward weighted balance near the forearm of the butt. Do you have recommendations on adding weight to fine tune what suits the player?
thanks
What are your cue prices? Do you have a website?
Hi,
Thank you for your inquiry. My cues start ay $750 with the most expensive ever sold being right at $32,000.00 so you can there is a wide spectrum that makes it almost impossible to pinpoint a definitive price, Although the average cost of my cues are roughly $2,500.00 to 4,500.00
the length of a person's arms & desired bridge length are most important....im 5'9" but I have long gorilla arms & ive been trying to find a 64" cue with no luck unless I miraculously find an old palmer
Keep going
I will produce more like this very soon!
I play with a 19oz but lag and break with a 31oz. I tried for a year to switch to a lighter breaker I just didn't break as well. It is what it is been playing 52 years and I don't have patience to figure it out again..
Honestly I can pick up a house cue and play just the same.
You are one of the lucky few my friend.
I think the better the player the more it applys.
@@juliusb790 I'm not a good player. I'm only 300 Fargo. Once in a while I will run an 8 ball rack. Very infrequently.
@@juliusb790ditto , my exact thinking!👍🎱
Turn off the machine. There is noise in the video. Thank you 🙏🏻
Sorry about that
I always thought there'd be a market with a with the professional basketball players.
what's up with the strange noise? i can't focus on his tips.
Interestingly, none of the cue manufacturers mention the width of the cuebutt.
Mine is 1.23" at the butt cap.
Here is an idea, as a cue maker you should be able to manipulate cue’s effective end mass to vary the cue’s natural pivot point so that it matches a customer's preferred bridge length. This would especially good for a break cue where squirt due to stroke errors are negated when the pivot point matches the bridge length. I believe that a cue’s larger diameter is more forgiving due to its greater end mass bring the cue’s natural pivot point closer to the shooter’s bridge thus minimizing squirt due to stroke errors. I also believe a small diameter/low deflection cue shaft is harder hit to due to the bridge being farther from the natural pivot point. I found this TH-cam video fairly informative on this subject th-cam.com/video/CadqTY_XPwY/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your comment,
everything that you mentioned above is correct, but what causes the forgiveness is mainly due to the larger diameter creating a larger "sweet spot" much like a driver in a golf bag. there is a reason that the driver head is so large, but again, everything that you said is correct.
As long as the length and weight are right, any decent cue with a good tip should be enough. By decent, i mean the cue price over 300 US dollars. Skill is always above equipments. Mine is a 8 year old $200 cuetec. I can compete any top amature with it. I have tried different fancy expensive cues, but failed to find anything can justify the extra $.
I can't get past the noise in the background
@willparks3126 it's called work buddy. Kind of hard to do my job AND provide free information. I would think that people would be more appreciative, and 99% are.
Is not the cue, it’s all on your skill, aim and stroke
I'm sorry, but by that knowledge, you are saying that you could take a tree branch and play at your optimal potential correct? No, you could not. The information that I am providing is simply showing you how to maximize what you have already learned. No matter how good you THINK you may be, the proper tool, that being your cue, Plays a major role in your efficacy. I do agree that your fundamentals are key but so is having the proper tools to use them. I am sorry if you do not find my information to be valid or helpful to you.
