How do you know if a pool stick is quality made?

Whats a good quality pool stick at a good price?

• My bf recently took up pool as a hobby. Hes been talking about how he wants his own pool stick so I was thinking for V-Day Id get him one. I know nothing about what ones are good etc. Any suggestions?

• Answer:

  It really depends on how much you want to spend. Starting with the least expensive. 1. Dufferin: I have always been impressed with dufran cues. 2. Mcdermont: this is a good second level cue. Great starter cue. 3. Viking: Another good option. 4. Gilbert: this is a custom cues which would have to be ordered early, but well worth the weight. I have played with A Gilbert for 10 of the 20 years I have played.
