Billiards: Pool Cues Distributors
admin
Pool cue distributors are another way of describing the retail outlets that stock a variety of different pool cues. There are a bevy of sporting goods stores, boutique billiards or indoor sports stores and other high-end specialty stores that advertise and promote the custom pool cue lines. Within each pool cue line, there are a variety of models to accommodate a variety of price ranges.
Even mass-merchandisers such as Wal-Mart and Sears sell pool cues. Their stocks largely feature a handful of name custom cue lines, but theyre augmented by generic lines. These cues may carry the merchandiser brand, or boast a mock name that in actuality is tied specifically to the retailer.
Let The Buyer Beware
The merchandiser and mock brand lines will typically cost considerably less than a true low-production custom cue. But theres a very good reason for that. More often than not, those cues are mass produced in Asia, using whatever wood stock that was available and affordable. Although the quality difference may not be noticed by the naked eye, it will be noticed if you try to re-sell it. These cues almost always go down in value.
This is not so with the true low-production custom cues. If treated and handled properly, these cues value diminish very slightly, and in many cases can even go up over the years. Thats one reason you should shop around at a variety of sporting goods and specialty billiards stores. Not only will you find a custom cue that will easily justify the extra cost, but its quality can help improve your game.
