What Does It All Mean?

Joints & Pins? Tips & Diameters? Confused yet? Don't worry. Let's see if we can help make sense of it all

McDermott CueAnatomy of a Cue

Tip

This is the part of the cue that actually touches the cue ball so it's obviously very important. The right tip will give you more control and a better feel for the ball.

What is the right tip?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Et omnis architecto et doloremque quia in magni aperiam. Eos maxime eaque est voluptatum libero qui quisquam modi ut recusandae voluptas eos quia quod.

Diameter

For the best control, you want a cue that fits your hands. If its too think, the shaft can be hard to align in your hand but if it's too thin, it can move around causing inconsistent shots.

How do I know what's for me?

Shaft

Different shafts can be designed for different uses. So it's important to know what to look for

Why choose one over another?

Use: Breaking or jumping requires a lot more force & control than other shots so, get a shaft designed to do it
Material: Carbon Fibre shafts are light and very strong. Wooden ones have a nicer feel.
Length: Some shafts come in various lengths for those short or tall players.

Joint & Pin

Most high quality pool cues break down into two parts for easy storage and carrying. The Joint on the shaft is designed to lock into the Pin on the butt, creating a single cue.

Why is this important?

If you already have a cue/shaft or plan on having multiple (like one for general play and another for breaking), getting ones with the same joint/pin allow you to use them interchangeably.

Cue / Butt

The butt is heart of every cue and the part you grip when shooting. It makes up the bulk of the weight of a cue and can impact how you hit the ball and how the cue feels overall.

Make it your own!

Butts come in thousands of different styles and finishes. On top of that, you can often customize them, adjusting the weight, adding engraving, and adding custom wraps/grips.

Wrap

The Wrap or Grip can be added to many cues, adding personal style while also customizing how the cue feels and plays in your hand.

Some popular wrap types

Linen: Thin thread giving a soft touch and a light grip
Leather: Premium look with a durable, smooth grip.
Sport Grip: Soft rubber provides the best grip and absorbs shock.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "Jump/Break" cue, and do I need one?

A Break Cue is designed with a very hard tip and ferrule to handle the high impact of the opening shot. A Jump Cue is shorter and lighter, designed to help you bounce the cue ball over an obstructing ball. A Jump/Break or Hybrid combo cue features a quick-release joint that lets you switch between the two functions. If you want to learn more or are you looking for some recommendations, check out our in-depth article.

How do I properly clean and maintain a wooden shaft?

Avoid using water or wet cloths, which can swell the wood grain. Instead, use a specialized shaft cleaner or a fast-drying shaft conditioner. This keeps the surface "slick" without damaging the wood. Check out our line of shaft care products.

What is the difference between a wrap and a wrapless cue handle?

Wraps (usually Irish Linen or Leather) are designed to absorb moisture from your hands and provide a consistent grip. A wrapped cue also gives you more customization options as you pick different types of material and color to match your tastes. Wrapless cues (finished wood) are preferred by players who like to feel the natural texture of the wood and want a smoother transition during their stroke.

What tip hardness (soft, medium, hard) is best for my playing style?

Soft tips provide more "grip" on the cue ball, making it easier to apply extreme spin (English), but they require more frequent shaping. Hard tips last longer and provide more consistency on power shots, but they are more prone to miscuing if not properly chalked. Medium tips are the most popular choice for all-around play.

What is the benefit of a carbon fiber shaft over wood?

Carbon fiber shafts are virtually warp-proof and highly resistant to dings, temperature changes, and humidity. They provide a very consistent hit, stay smoother for longer, and generally require less maintenance than traditional maple shafts.
