JT G asked:


I was looking at getting a new pool stick. I saw a fiberglass one, but dont really know anything about them. I have a Mcdermott now, but saw a fiberglass one that I really like. If anyone can give me the pros and cons to fiberglass cues, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

    they are much lighter than wood so you might perfer a heavier cue. but the are durable and never warp. so it will last you for a long time.

    The feel of graphite and fiberglass cues have been criticized by the pool playing community for being very bad in that they are harder to maintain (compared to wood cues) and feel stiff. Because of this, they are usually used as break cues. If the fiberglass or graphite on a cue is scratched, it is rendered unrepairable. Also, after some use, the materials become very glossy and thus not as smooth as they were originally.

    A fiberglass cue would be a major downgrade from what you are using now. They are trash. Stay with what you're using, or save up for a higher quality brand name or custom cue (with a maple shaft, of course).

    Matt is correct, and if you would like my 2 cents… They are junk, unless you are using it as a fire poking stick to move logs and such.
