American Pool Cue | Welcome

The American game of pool has colonised our bars and amusement arcades as a modern day version of bar billiards that uses a number of coloured balls and a white cue ball. Pool is recognised by Sport England as a sport that is managed by the English Pool Association. Many players follow the American pool cue as a preference to any others as they tend to have a certain weight and length specification.  The English pool association runs leagues from pub players to professional ones. There is an international organisation called the world eight ball federation that sets the rules and standards for across the globe.

An American pool cue usually comes in two pieces that screw together at the middle and are sold in a hard case. There is also a strict uniform protocol that should be adhered to in competitions and these vary depending on the level of the league. It is taken very seriously as sport by some and by most people it is simply a recreational activity. As with any sport there are many elite players who take the game very seriously and therefore will only have the best equipment. In the sport your equipment can be a status symbol so they will usually only buy the best American pool cue and the flashiest carry case to protect their investment.
