Choosing the Right Carbon Fiber Pool Cue Shaft Size

One of the most important decisions when buying a carbon fiber pool cue is selecting the right shaft size. The shaft diameter can significantly impact your control, spin, and overall performance at the table. In this guide, we’ll explain how to choose the right size and why the BIZU Carbon Fiber Pool Cue offers options for every player.

Common Shaft Sizes

The most popular carbon fiber cue shaft diameters are:

  • 11.8mm – Ideal for advanced players who want more spin and finesse. This size allows for precise English control and delicate positioning shots.

  • 12.5mm – Best for players seeking stability and easier control. This slightly thicker shaft helps maintain consistency on all types of shots.

How Shaft Size Affects Your Game

  1. Spin and English

    • Thinner shafts (11.8mm) allow for more cue ball spin. This is great for executing advanced position play.

  2. Stability and Control

    • Thicker shafts (12.5mm) provide more stability and are often easier for beginners to handle.

  3. Stroke Feel

    • Your comfort and natural stroke motion should guide your choice. A properly sized shaft feels natural in your hand and reduces unwanted vibration.

Why Carbon Fiber Shafts Are Better

Carbon fiber shafts maintain their shape and consistency regardless of temperature or humidity. Unlike wood, they won’t warp or bend over time, ensuring every shot feels the same. This makes choosing the right size even more important—you can rely on consistent performance.
