Review on 🎱 Tai Ba Cues 2-Piece Pool Cue Stick + Hard Case - Canadian Maple Professional Billiard Cue 18,19,20,21,22 Oz (Selectable Colors) by Tim Beckett

This cue won't make you Earl Strickland once you bring it to the table. They will not kick like Efren or run rack after rack. But that's not what this replica is for. It's not a Predator Revo, it's not ultra-low camber and it's not the last cue you'll ever need. But whether you're just starting out, trying to advance in the game, or developing some advanced skills, this keyword gives you something invaluable in that quest: consistency. Initially I was very, very apprehensive about buying a cheap cue from a brand I had never seen before. heard and I am sure that many people who are thinking about buying this will also be a bit skeptical. I was only looking for something better than a house cue because I wanted to take my game seriously and see where I REALLY stand as an amateur player. This cue is all you need to start developing your core skills at the table. So the cue itself: I bought the Fire cue because I wanted something more subtle and it looks great. The inlay is nice and bright, the stitching is clear and smooth and it certainly looks the part. The protective ankle pads match everything else and are very nice, definitely not what I expected them to be as high quality as they are. The handle is definitely not "unfinished" as some claim, but honed to an ultra-smooth, almost matte finish. When I first pulled it out there was a dent or two in the wood, but so minor that I didn't notice it until I checked and I didn't expect everything to be perfect. I wouldn't be surprised if these rods/cues are unmatched by more expensive brands from the same or similar manufactures, but honestly for me it's better than just a cheap piece of wood (pure speculation). The rear handle was something I was concerned about as it is faux leather and I was concerned it would melt/disintegrate/leave black marks on my hands. I am happy to report that none of this has happened to date, it has remained in perfect condition, offers a good grip and is even preferable to linen. Haven't experimented with internal weight screws yet, I have a 20oz cue and have yet to upgrade to a 19. The 13mm tip is also a better quality than I expected. The size is fairly forgiving (you would at least be looking for a "quarter" radius on a curve, not the top of a nickel or dime radius) if you're working on the basics and trying to find the center of the cue ball Reliable. . However, this kid will spin the whole table on a good shot and push the ball right or left just enough to do whatever you want. The cue delivers a perfectly straight shot on a perfectly straight shot, that's all I can really ask for. When playing at a fast table I actually have to shorten my strokes a bit because this cue hits the spot and can send the ball flying around the table if you're not careful or are used to smaller cue lines. The case is good, if a bit small. The shoulder strap is very short, not very comfortable to wear in this form, but it does the job. The small outer pocket is also small but easily fits a glove, pickaxe, shaping tool and chalk holder. It's well padded on the inside and with ankle protection I'm not worried about any damage during storage or transport. It's probably not something you'd want to use to place a more expensive cue, but it's great for that purpose. Accessories are ok, no need to worry. The glove that comes with it is a simple piece of nylon or rayon, very nice and probably won't last very long, but it served the purpose I really wanted and let me know if I wanted to play with the glove. or not without buying one to find out. After playing with it a bit I invested in a decent glove and I'm thrilled that I was able to get a 'free trial' with this kit. A hint is a hint, it does what it's supposed to do with no problem. I actually still have one in my pocket, a red plastic spatula/shaper, but it was for a snooker sized tip so it was of little use to me. However, the fact that they are included is a great advantage for the new player, since they will be introduced to the care of the cue tips and will probably be able to try a glove with a perfectly smooth shaft for the first time. Finishing, table time and practice are all ways you'll get better, but if you have a decent clue you'll know that if you miss, it's your technique to blame, not your equipment. Eliminating variables is the best way to get better, and playing with a consistent line is the first step there, along with standing and hitting. Since I don't have a table at home, I always sit at the tables in the billiard room, so the playing conditions are constantly changing. With this cue, my training has become more productive regardless of the table conditions because I don't guess the cue when I'm shooting. I won't be fighting Shane van Boening anytime soon because I've found out, but my confidence at the table has skyrocketed and I can confidently pull off shots that wouldn't be easy to play with home lines alone. Grab a decent chalk, be ready to grab a nice glove if you like shooting out of the kit, and get better at the game for less than $75. video and start sinking the balls. I also recommend Rolly Williams' YouTube channel and several lessons for pro players available there.
