Short 48" 2 Piece Hardwood Canadian Maple Pool Cue - Billiard Stick 19 Ounce

Great quality it feels just like my heavier regular sized playing cue stick. I got this because it was the exact length I needed to be a "short stick" with my walls that are too close to the one side of the table so I don't hit the wall, but isn't super short like the actually commercially sold 'short stick." those short sticks are WAY too short and light as a feather, so you can't have a natural movement and the feel is awful. This however works perfect and the heavy weight makes it that much better.

This cue arrived in one piece despite the packaging. The box arrived literally broken in half and I could remove the cue without doing anything else to open it. Amazingly, the cue was undamaged.Pros:-The cue is as straight as an arrow.-Perfect for tight spaces-It's great to have the proper weight of a cue, even though it's a shorty. Makes a big difference vs cues that weigh nothing.-Tip seems alright, and was pre-shaped and ready to go-Satin finish on the tip half of the cue for easy sliding.-The wrap is nice.Downsides:-The balance is weird. The weight is too far forward towards the tip-The cylindrical taper, plus the fact that this is a short cue, result in a very fat feeling shaft at where you'd bridge. Also means there's a lot of end weight

I own 2.1 black and blue I attached the standard length shaft pin size 5/16 x 18 from my Nick Varner cue. Made the cue 53.5 inches.The brown one listed above I had repinned to 5/16x14 to fit my joss shaft it weighs in at 18.55 oz 53.5 inches long. Great bar box cue no over stroking. Get all the same action as with a 58 inch cue.

Just got the stick today, but it feels nice. It's perfectly straight. I did note that the packaging could have been better. If it were dropped on end, or something dropped on it, there wasn't much protection. Regardless, mine was fine. Just played with it some and knocked the crap out of a few balls too, to make sure it wasn't going to have an issue. It didn't. I bought this for my 10yo because I wanted a length that would be balanced for him. I think this will do terrific. If things change, I will definitely update my review.

My comparison here is against my $300+ cue. I bought this because one side requires a shorter cue. The 19 oz makes it feel real, and the cue hits well. Some reviews commenting on #1) tip, but I don't see any issues. #2) straightness, but its perfect. Some noted its a bit fat, but that is to be expected in order to get 19 oz in shorter length. Overall, for the $$ don't look further for a shorter cue. Its amazon, if you get a bum one return and get another.

I've only had the 18 oz version of this cue for a few days, but...I must say, seems like an amazing value for the price....Seems very solid and straight so far...Really seems like a cue that would cost considerably more $...For me, the big test is that it stays solid over time...the most annoying thing that tends to happen to many cues is they develop an interior crack or fracture and then you have that annoying rattling sound when you use the cue...So far, it's rock solid and I'm really monitoring it closely...Again, it's all about standing the test of time...so far so good!

Great set of cue sticks for tight areas. Just got an 8' slate table and it sits in a room that is 12'x24' wide, so the 58" that came with it, was playable(in angles) but had to be careful on the sides to not hit the wall when hitting straight on with the cue on the rail.These came faster than expected and tested them already, great feel and don't need to worry about the wall when hitting from the sides straight on.The finish looks nice and looks great. These also fit well with the deluxe rack that came with my table.

I bought this cue stick and a second one with the different weight. Both cue sticks did not roll completely straight when assembled. I believe the curved portion in each stick was in the handle portion. Given that, and the fact that the curve was very slight, I decided to keep them and they work very well. My room is not big enough for the longer cue sticks.

All I can say is WOW!These cues are great and are the only reason I have a pool table at all.Lacking the space for an 8’ table,I was able to opt for the 7’ (bar table) because of the availability of the 4’ cue.These cues are hefty, not cheap imitations. They have the weight and feel of an expensive cueI love them and recommend them.

We recently took delivery of a billiards table and quickly discovered the standard 58 inch cues were a little too long at one end of the table, so we ordered the 48 inch cue. It is the perfect solution, allowing us to make accurate shots around the cramped end of the room. The cue itself is well made, properly balanced and very nicely finished. You will not be disappointed.

For the price I didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised. I like the design and the length was exactly what I wanted. Several friends had a go with the cues and everyone agreed, because of the limited space in the room to play Pool, these were great. The finish is smooth and the weight balanced perfectly for someone like me who is truly not a Pro. I am thinking of buying two more depending on how many friends come over for a game.

This is a short cue, 18 oz but worth the money. Delivery was very fast and free as usual with Amazon.I recommend this product for small budgets and tight places.

prefect size cue for the post in the way, the tip size is good and the 19 ounce is a good .it has a good joint for the 2 piece cue.Well done Iszy Billiards.
