I'm Richard, I've being playing VNEA leagues out of Albuquerque, New Mexico for the past 10 years. On behalf of expertvillage.com I'm here to show you some basic tips on playing billiards. First tip that I'm going to start with is on your cue selection. Cues run from anywhere from 19-21 ounces is your average cue that a person will be playing pool with. Me myself I prefer a cue that goes 20 ½ ounces, it all comes down to preference. It comes down to what feels comfortable. It comes down to actually using more than one cue. Getting the feel for it, getting what feels good for you and that is pretty much what it is going to come down to on that. Also when you are selecting your cue, well naturally you are going to want to look at prices, price range run any from $200 on up to the thousands. Whatever a person is willing to spend and whatever a person is affordable to spend. But for a beginning pool player I would suggest you just find yourself some, a cue that feels good in your hands, a cue that you feel good with, start with that and move up from there.
