Product was in stock when all other companies wouldn’t have it for months from the supplier!

And even that was questionable!

Thank you very much for your review, Alecia! We truly appreciate your order and are very glad we were able to provide the shaft when it was difficult to find elsewhere. Thank you again for choosing Billiard City, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Slight wobble at the joint, but for a $22 shaft? Likely best you can expect. My birthday is coming up and i might surprise my wife by getting s new cue from her. She loves surprises.

Thank you very much for your review, Bill. We truly appreciate your order and your honest feedback.

We are sorry to hear that you noticed a slight wobble at the joint. That is not the experience we want our customers to have, and we would be happy to review this with you and help with a replacement or return if needed.

Thank you again for your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to make things right. We also hope you have a wonderful birthday.

This was exactly what I was missing from my bag. I was able to clean up the tips on my cues with ease and I noticed a big difference in my play.

Thank you very much for your review, James! We truly appreciate your order and are very happy to hear that the cue tip tool was exactly what you were looking for. We are glad it helped with maintaining your cue tips and that you noticed a difference in your play. We hope to see you again in the future.

As someone who plays on bar boxes often, I hate the heavy beat up cue balls you usually see. This cue ball is well worth the purchase for anyone serious about learning to play with better control. I immediately noticed a huge difference in how I play now that I have a proper cue ball and can visualize the spin on each shot.

Thank you very much for your detailed review, James! We truly appreciate your order and are very happy to hear that the cue ball made such a noticeable difference in your game. We are glad it helps with control and spin visualization, and we hope to see you again in the future.
