How to choose a billiard cue???? Hurry!! ）

Choose the cue you have to play.

With the rapid development of billiards in China, the technical level of billiards enthusiasts has been greatly improved, there is a saying: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools", especially for billiards, having a handy personal cue is undoubtedly of great help to improve your skills.

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 the club is no longer oiled, it will not be oiled in the future :)

You can refer to this kind of knowledge.
