Whether you're a keen amateur or a professional player, there are a variety of 57 inch pool cues available. These cues are perfect for playing American or British pool. The standard 57-inch length is perfect for most adult players. However, if you're traveling or want a cue for home use, a 48-inch cue might be all you need.
Pool cues measuring 57 inches
A 57-inch cue is perfect for pool players who enjoy standard-length games. The standard length is good for a lot of adults. A 57-inch cue is suitable for both amateurs and professionals. A 3-piece cue can be good for travel, but if you are only playing at home, a one-piece cue could work.
Butt section
The shaft is the main part of a 57 inch pool utensil. The shaft is made of maple, ash or other long-lasting materials. The butt section, which is made of heavier woods such as rosewood, is the longest. The butt section's splice is a distinctive stylistic feature. The cue designer can personalize it by adding their own stamp. Cues that are less expensive may only include basic paint or decals. More expensive cues will have a tapered, smooth surface.
Ferrules
Ferrules are tubes made of metal and plastic that attach to the shaft. They hold the tip of the cue in its place and absorb shock, so the shaft's wooden wood does not crack or break. In addition, ferrules may help distribute impact forces on the shaft. Ferrules can also impact the appearance and feel of the cue. A smaller ferrule will reduce squirt, and the cue will be less likely to snap off or cause damage to the shaft.
Size of tip
There are several factors to consider when choosing the tip size of a 57-inch pool cue. Most pool cues have two pieces, which join in the middle. The thickness is usually in the thicker side. The tip diameter can range from 16 ounces to 22 ounces. With the most popular weights being 17 and 20, these are the most commonly used. The skill level of each player will also impact the tip diameter.
Buying guide
The purchase of a pool cue can be a huge decision. There are some simple tips that you can follow when shopping for a pool cue. Quality is the most important thing. A quality cue is smooth, free from scratches and without blemishes. The cue should feel soft to the touch. You should be cautious about any pieces that extend beyond the basic cue shape. Don't buy a cue with visible glue or damaged wood.
