Are heavier pool cues better?

A heavier cue will tend to create more CB speed for a given stroke effort. A heavier cue might also be easier for some to keep on line during the stroke, but this is a very individual thing. More weight can also help prevent stroke deceleration.

Is it better to have a lighter or heavier pool cue?
In general, a lighter cue will allow more control over finesse shots, and a heavier cue will allow more cue ball (CB) speed with less apparent stroke effort. A heavier cue might also be easier for some people to keep on line during the stroke, but this is a very individual thing.

Are 2 piece pool cues bad?
Any decent two-piece or even three-piece cue will play just as well as its one-piece cousin, and you can see professional players using them in important games regularly. The main benefit of a two-piece billiard cue is portability. It can be quickly unscrewed and packed into a smaller bag or cue case.

What is the difference between cheap and expensive pool cues?
There is a big difference in the manufacture process. Making a Hand-spliced cue is a longer process and often involves extra splicing and includes more exotic woods. The cheapest cues that many suppliers sell are not spliced at all and are in fact painted to look like they are spliced.

What is the difference between american and english pool cues?
To summarise, American cues have a larger tip (between 12 &14mm) in comparison to English cues (between 8-11mm). An American cue is typically made out of Maple wood with a large tip and plastic feral, the plastic acts like a shock absorber, perfect for striking the larger, heavier balls.
