Pool cue care; Do’s and Don’ts
Now that you have found the pool cue stick for you it is important to treat it right. Of course it is made to be used, but it is the time between games that will ultimately have the biggest impact on the health and performance of your pool cue. Here are some do’s to keep in mind. Do store your pool cue in a solid, protective case of some sort, keeping it upright. Be sure to occasionally wash with a soft, damp, soapy cloth, drying immediately with another soft cloth. Giving the cue a polish with a good wax or furniture polish after the wash will help protect the cue. The don’ts will have a big impact on your cue stick as well. Don’t store in areas of extreme heat or dampness, moisture or humidity can cause your pool cue to warp.. Don’t allow prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Don’t scrub or clean with a rough textured item such as sandpaper, unless very fine grit, or kitchen scrub pad. Don’t attempt to sand out a dent or nick in the shaft of your pool cue. Much of the care of your pool cue is common sense, the rest will come with learning and experience. Take care of your cue, and it will take care of you.
