High-quality cues are typically made from premium woods, such as maple or ash, and may feature intricate inlay work or custom designs.

57-inch Cues
A full-size pool cue is considered to be 57 inches in length, and sometimes 58 inches for two-piece cues. This size is ideal for an adult, allowing a long stretch across the baize so that your left arm is comfortably outstretched, and your right arm has plenty of recoil room for playing a powerful shot.
