Review for: Pool Cue Guru
When we discovered Pool Cue Guru, who incidentally is a highly ranked site, we wondered whether it was possible for them to sell their products at 20% Off. While still providing you with quality Pool Cues, cases and accessories.
Apparently yes. And they have a 30 day price matching guarantee.
Here's a sampling of cues they carry:
* Lucasi Hybrid
* Lucasi
* McDermott
* Players
* Predator
* Pro-Series
* Viking
* And many more.
Some of the best pool cues around. Used by championship players.
While they range from inexpensive to big dollars, which you choose depends upon your experience and what you feel comfortable with.
Plus, the old saying 'you get what you pay for' is never more appropriate than when it comes to pool cues. You wanna play a good game, experience aside you've gotta have a good pool cue.
The pros believe the best pool cues are made with a wood base. Such as curly maple, rosewood, birds eye maple, tulip wood, cherrywood, for example.
The wood is covered with a composite cladding of fiberglass. Which completely encases the wood. Beyond that, a power bonding process protects the cue from warping by locking out moisture and temp changes. The synthetic cladding also provides ding and dent resistence. Adding tremendous strength to the cue.
Johnny Archer (4x world 9 ball champion and winner of 25 pro world titles) and Allison Fisher, (3x world 9 ball champion and winner of 53 Womens Professional Billiards Association classic tour titles), know the importance of a pool cue which is the right weight. And will give them a smooth stroke and better follow through.
Here's a sampling of Pool Cue Guru products:
* Pool Cues
* Pool Cases
* Pool Cue Shafts
* Pool Cue Accessories
* Pool table accessories
* Billiard Accessories
* And more.
Plus - a case is so important. To protect your cue; protect your investment. There's everything from leatherette, nylon and canvas
soft cases you can sling over your shoulder to hard vinyl and faux crocodile cases. In a variety of colors.
Pros:
- Wide variety of some of the best brand name pool cues.
- Great price range - from $49 to hundreds - lets you start out with
something inexpensive and move up as you gain experience.
- Pool cues for men, women, young players. In a wide variety of
colors and woods.
Cons:
- You'll need some info before purchasing from this site. Especially
if purchasing a gift.
- There's such a huge variety it could be overwhelming to a newbie.

Pool Cue Guru versus:
1. Minnesota Fats -
This site has a small selection. All of which are branded with such names as Bud Light, Coca Cola, for example. There's so little on this site, and no helpful info, it's hard to understand why it's ranked so high.
2. Discount Pool Cues & Cases -
Don't even bother with this site. It's one page. With no navigational bar. Also inappropriately highly ranked.
3. Aska Pool Cues & Accessories -
While Pool Cue guru has 20 top, brand names and an assortment of others, Aska has 11. And not as extensive a range of game accessories. This is a Canadian company, and prices are broken down into U.S. dollars. Remember, with the dollar down, you'll pay more than if buying in the U.S. (that's not including ship)
