Build Your Own Custom Pool Cue with Ozone

If you've shopped for a custom pool cue online before, you've probably seen the usual menu: pick a tip, maybe pick a shaft. Some sites will let you change the weight. A few will let you choose a wrap. What's rare is finding all of those options on the same cue, on the same site.

That's really the difference here. It's not that we invented some option nobody else offers. It's that on a lot of our cues, you can change the shaft, the shaft diameter, the weight, the tip, and the wrap together, in one place, and on select cues you can even add engraving too. Here's what that actually looks like.

What you can customize

• Shaft. This is the one that sometimes gets overlooked when buying a cue, but it's a big part of how a cue actually plays. Depending on the cue, you can choose a different shaft model and a different diameter (12.75mm and 13.00mm both show up below), which changes deflection and how the cue ball feels off the tip.
• Weight. Set your target weight during customization instead of buying a cue, deciding the balance is off, and then shopping for a separate weight bolt kit afterward.
• Tip. Choose from real brand-name tips like a Kamui, Tiger, Predator Victory, or Pechauer Jade tip, often in a couple of hardness options. Softer tips grip the ball better for spin; harder tips hold their shape longer.
• Wrap. On a number of our cues you can pick your wrap material and color, including Irish Linen, sport, and leather in many different colorways. When you choose a wrap, we build in the installation as part of the order, so it's done correctly rather than left as a loose part in the box. Plenty of other cue shops offer installation too, so it's not the unique part, just a nice detail that keeps everything in one order.
• Engraving. On cues that support it, you can add a name, initials, or a small personal touch for a modest add-on cost.

Customization at every price point

You would think that full customization is only available on flagship cues north of $2,000 but you'd be wrong. We offer a surprising number of options at every price point. Options can vary by brand and model but we try to give you every possibility to make your cue, yours from the beginning. Here are some great options at wide range of options.:

• Under $500: 1811 Model 6 . Comes with a 1811 12.75mm Maple Shaft and a 19oz. default weight, both changeable, along with Tip, Wrap, and engraving options. All for under $300 (starting price).
• Over $500: Pechauer JP21T. Shaft, weight, tip, and wrap are all customizable here: a Pechauer Piloted Pro Series 12.75mm shaft, a J. Pechauer Jade tip, and a Black/White Irish Linen wrap by default, all swappable.
• Over $1,000: Predator 10K Luxe. Ships with a Predator 314-3 Uni-Loc shaft, a Predator Victory tip, and a Luxe Leather wrap.
• Over $2,000: Schon E2500-9DS. A great flagship example: a Schon Maple Shaft at 13.00mm, a Tiger Everest tip, weight, and a Black/White Irish Linen wrap. Every option fully customizable to make the perfect cue for you.

Notice the pattern: shaft and weight show up as customizable options across every price tier here, not just the expensive ones. That's the part most competitors don't do, offering the full set of options on a $279 cue as well as a $2,665 one.

How it works

On any cue with customization options, you'll see the options all listed directly on the product page, under the "Customize" tab. A typical run-through looks like this:

1. Start with a shaft: pick the model and diameter that fits how you play.
2. Set a weight close to what you're used to, or a bit heavier if you want more power on the break.
3. Choose a tip based on how much spin you want versus how low-maintenance you'd like it to be.
4. If the cue offers a wrap choice, pick a color, and installation gets added automatically.
5. Add engraving if it's available in your choice of color and font to really make the cue feel like yours specifically.

The total price updates as you go, and everything you picked gets bundled into a single item on your order. Nice and easy, no surprises at checkout

A cue is one of the only pieces of gear in this hobby you're holding for every single shot, and no two players want the exact same setup off the shelf. Being able to dial in the shaft, weight, tip, and wrap on the same cue, at a price point that fits your budget, is what makes that possible without turning it into a multi-order project.
