How to choose your billiard cue?

Select the right billiard cue from the wide selection offered by Kozoom. Your equipment should be appropriate to the discipline you practice. There are 4 types of billiard cues, corresponding to these different disciplines.

  • Carom cues
  • Pool cues
  • 8 Pool or Blackball cues
  • Snooker cues

For each discipline, the criteria differs: length, weight, tip’s diameter, etc. To maximize your success it is best to select the correct cue.

You wouldn't choose a tennis racket to play badminton, the same goes for billiard!

In addition to the entry-level billiard sticks (equivalent to racks or club cues), our wide selection allows you to choose your cue according to many criteria: brands, design, wood, etc.

Contrary to a common belief, Top-level players are extremely selective in the choice of their equipment. Billiard cues provide very different sensations depending on the tip, the balance point and the flexibility of the shaft. Good sensations allow a better control of the ball, to give it the right trajectory and the right effects.

Feel free to contact us or go directly to the product’s descriptions to get all the information you need to choose your billiard cue.
