Some of our customers want to know the determining factors in the pricing of a cue, here they are:

The number of hours it takes to build a cue, the longer it takes, the higher priced that cue is going to be.

The number of inlays and design work in a cue: the more inlays and fancier designs, the longer it will take, the higher priced it will be.

Quality of the wood also adds to the price. The longer the wood is cured, sometimes over 18 months, will add to the price as well. Curing or seasoning the wood, stabilizes the moisture in the wood. For the most part, the longer it cures, the better. 99 percent of the cues that we carry are Maple. Maple is a good hardwood. Other woods that are used are Ash and sometimes exotic woods like Ebony.

Also, the number of a certain kind of cue made is a factor in determining the cue holding it's value, this is very true for higher priced cues.

Lastly, the perceived value of a product determines the value as well. For example: any given cue can be perceived as being the best, just like a Cadillac is perceived as being a great car, whereas a Lexus, etc. might be just as good a choice. It also depends on a person's perception and from what they have heard about a cue. The reputation of the cue and the marketing that has been done will also add to that perception.

That pretty much sums it up! Whichever cue you happen to choose - Happy Shooting!
