ALL ABOUT BILLIARDS
Which reminds me that when you get a cue of your own, it is not clever to lend it.
A bad player may spoil it, a good player may keep it if it is a firstclass cue which suits his play - lending cues is about ten times more risky than lending books-don't do it!
Pick a cue with a fairsized tip, have it fitted with a brass ferrule, and polish it with a dry cloth, plain paper, or constant play, the latter preferred.
If you are in the habit of sandpapering the woodwork of your cue, buy a cheapone, the cheaper the better, because it will only be fit for firewood before long, and it is a mistake to pay too much to keep the home fires burning.
In any other case, pay enough for your cue to get one of the best from a firm of standing and reputation.
