How to distinguish the quality of billiard cues and how to choose billiard cues

The first is the weight, I like to use a heavier rod; The second is length, if you are shorter, it is not suitable for a long rod, the third is straightness, a good rod should be part of a standard cone, and the fourth is the leather head, the size and thickness should be paid attention to.

With the rapid development of billiards in China, the technical level of billiards lovers has been greatly improved. More and more friends are also aware of this, but because everyone does not know much about the knowledge of clubs, and the market is full of counterfeit brand-name products, therefore, everyone has encountered great difficulties in purchasing clubs.

So how do you pick the perfect club?

1. The length and weight of the club:

Clubs on the market today are generally about 57 inches long and weigh about 18 ounces (510 grams), and the club selector should choose according to his own conditions. Those who are short should choose a shorter club, and those with good wrist strength should choose a heavier club.

The World Professional Taiwan Federation (WPBSA) recommends 17 ounce clubs for beginners.

Second, the wooden of the cue:

Today's world's famous brand clubs, most of them are made of North American poplar, maple, African ebony, these kinds of wood are characterized by: high density, good elasticity, clear wood grain, not easy to deform. In order to reduce the cost, some ordinary clubs can only choose some poor quality wood, because the wood is light, the manufacturer will add iron bars to the tail of the club, which will make the club unbalanced and greatly reduce the quality of the club.

In addition, these clubs are more prone to breakage and deformation. If you want to choose between several clubs of the same grade, you can flick the shaft with your fingers, and the sound of the high-density clubs is firm and crisp, while the low-density clubs produce an empty and muddy sound.

In addition, you can also hold the tail of the club with one hand and tap the shaft with the other, and the feeling of a good wooden club is that the elasticity is uniform and powerful, and it is long-lasting. In addition, the sign on the back handle of the cue should be facing the straight arrow of the cue! The wood grain of the club should be as simple and stretched as possible, not as dense as fish scales!

The arrow should be sharp, and the wood grain should be positive in the direction of the clubhead! The reverse arrow is on the opposite side of the positive arrow of the rod, and it is best not to choose the rod with a broken line in the middle.

Third, the handiwork of the cue:

The handiwork of the club is an important indicator of the quality of the club. When purchasing, special attention should be paid to whether the joint between the copper hoop of the club head and the shaft and the butt of the shaft (copper buckle 4) are dense and smooth. Whether the length of the four flower arrangements is basically the same, special reminder:

Some low-quality club flower arrangements are painted, so please be careful when purchasing.

Fourth, the maintenance of the club:

After the new rod is bought, it will generally be painted, which can be gently removed with about 600 mesh water grinding fine sandpaper, and then planed with about 1000 mesh planed sandpaper, and then applied olive oil (it is better to have special cue oil) to let the club fully eat the oil, (this time is about 24 hours). The last oil every three months or so, if any club no longer eats oil, it will not need to be oiled in the future.

1. Select according to the segment formula.

Billiard cues are usually divided into three types, namely one-piece, two-stage, and 3-4-break type. One of the sections is a one-piece structure, which is relatively complete in terms of power transmission, and is the choice of many professional players. The two-stage type is a two-stage rod that can be detached, and the interface in the middle is vacuum-like, which is very convenient to carry, so pay attention to whether the connection part will affect the use when purchasing.

The 3 4-stage type is a more common type, the front section is integrally formed, so the transmission force of the wood itself will be retained, and the longer the back section, the heavier the weight.

2. Choose according to the length of the club.

The sound of the club crashing is closely related to the length, weight and hardness of the club. The length of the club is usually meters, and you can choose according to your size. In addition, the weight of the club is generally 450g-550g, so you can choose a weight that you can handle.

3. Choose according to hardness.

The hardness mainly depends on the stability of the club itself, and the stability of the club with good hardness will be better when playing.

In addition, you can also choose the right club according to the end to test the sound of the club hitting the billiards, the crisper the sound, the better.
