No matter if you’re just in the game for fun or are a more advanced player ready for a serious upgrade to your gear, it just makes sense to purchase an old pool cue, all the more so if you know the best place to find them and what to look out for! Singapore’s pool scene is expanding rapidly, and you don’t always need to pay an arm and a leg for quality products.
This is why we at Tigress are thrilled to announce our secondhand cue market, where players have the opportunity to purchase or sell top-notch pre-loved cues in a trusted space.
To help you score the ideal secondhand cue for your game, here are our top tips:
- Know Your Playing Style
Before you start looking, ask yourself: Are you an extremely precise finesse player who wants a more lightweight, oversight cue, or do you want something that has the power and heft? The cue you choose is a matter of your stroke, stance, and skill level. Knowing what you like in that department can help you spot a cue that fits.
- Check if the Cue is Straight
A cue should be straight for you to play accurately. If you are shopping secondhand, roll the cue on a flat surface or table previous next prev next When shopping secondhand, roll the cue on a flat surface or table. If it’s wobbly, that’s a sign of trouble. At Tigress, we make sure every used cue is inspected for play-ability, you won’t find any duds here!
- Check the Tip and Ferrule
Your cue’s tip is its business end. It can ruin your game if the tip is too worn down or too hardened. Make sure the tip has enough life left in it, or be prepared to replace it. The ferrule (the white section right below the tip) should not have any cracks or chips.
- Consider the Cue’s History
Inquire about the brand, model, age and previous use of the cue. Higher-end cues made from brands like Predator, Mezz, or Lucasi will maintain value and performance. Tigress incorporates that background information whenever possible, so you can make an informed pick.
- Try Before You Buy (If Possible)
As far as possible test the cue when you can. The feel of the cue matters. Weight, balance, and grip are all different even amongst cues with similar specs. Tigress members and all customers interested in a used cue can try out cues in our in-house billiards lounge before deciding to purchase — something you definitely won’t get from a listing online.
- Don’t Ignore the Butt and Shaft Condition
Watch out for dents, warps, or loose joints. You’ll need to start with a dent-free, smooth shaft to have good performance. A properly maintained cue feels like an extension of your arm as opposed to simply a stick in your grip.
- Buy From a Trusted Source
There are a seemingly endless number of listings floating around the internet. However, not all sellers are made equal. When you purchase at Tigress, you’re not just buying a cue, you’re getting peace of mind. Every cue is top quality and sold by players who love the game as much as you do.
A used pool cue is not only a cost-effective purchase, but it can also be an opportunity to own a premium quality product with personality and play to match. At Tigress, we take the challenge and risk of getting the best gear or passing on your favourite and tried gear to the next player.
