American Pool is not just a game — it’s technique, precision, and the right equipment. Choosing the right pool cue can significantly improve your performance, whether you're a beginner or an advanced player.
At Achro, you’ll find high quality cues (for both American Pool and French/Carom billiards) as well as professional equipment for players of every level.
Weight plays a crucial role in shot control and power.
• 18–19 oz: Ideal for easier control
• 19–20 oz: For stronger and more stable play
💡 Most players choose 19–19.5 oz for the perfect balance between control and power.
The tip diameter (front part of the shaft) affects spin and cue ball control.
• 12–12.5 mm: Requires more control and technique, but makes spin easier
• 13 mm: More stable and forgiving hit, especially on long-distance shots
💡 Most of players choose 12.75 mm, BUT we should never forget that the hardness and quality of the tip plays a dominant role in performance.
Most cues are made of:
• Maple (known in Greece as “Sfendamos or Kelebeki”), offering durability, precision, and a unique feel
• Composite materials (mainly Carbon in recent years), offering stability, straightness, and power
💡 A combination of both — a Maple butt and a Carbon shaft — is a setup often chosen by advanced players.
If you're just starting out, choose an affordable yet quality cue with proper balance — and forget the one-piece bar cues.
If you play regularly, invest in a cue with Pro-Level specs, a separate break and jump cue, and never stop practicing.
The right pool cue can elevate your entire game. Practice will make you a Pro-Level player.
Whether you’re playing for fun or competing seriously, we provide the right equipment to match your ambition.
