A good cue stick will improve your shot.

I don’t always carry my cue stick with me and it has made my game suffer many of times. Nothing worse than playing at your local pub and the broom stick in the closet is straighter than all the cue sticks in the bar. A straight stick won’t have you winning every game but it sure does help. When your lining up that shot and your sliding the cue stick back and forth gauging the amount of power to use you expect that ball to go straight. Depending on what English your using if any. Yet if your stick is warped or bent when you strike the ball it may not be hitting it where you originally lined it up at. So if the stick was straight you would not have to worry about that, because the position on the tip of your stick will remain the same throughout your stroke. So my best suggestion for people who are buying their first cue stick off the rack try rolling it on a flat surface first to see how smooth it rolls. I assure you that you will be happy you checked it out before you paid for it. Also look into buying a bag to carry it in. You want to keep it protected.
