For players

Gear.

Three bags. Pick the one that matches how you play. Prices stay on Amazon and in the shop, because they move.

Some sticks live at the counter

Chalk, gloves, cases, and jump cues are easy to order. Playing cues from Predator, Meucci, McDermott, and Tiger, including carbon shafts, come through the room. We carry them when they are in. Check the shop before you buy a cue online.

A first cue and the few things that keep it playable.

Casual Play.

    A maple cue you can learn on and carry in a soft case. Dealer cues, when we have them, are in the shop.

  • Case

    OKKO soft case, 2×4

    Holds the cue plus a spare shaft, with pockets for chalk and the tip tool. Soft enough for the car, padded enough for the room.

  • Chalk

    Taom Pyro

    Clean chalk with a holder you can clip to a pocket. One cube lasts, and it does not dust the cloth the way a soft cube does.

  • Tip tool

    Pocket shaper, scuffer, and aerator

    A shaped, scuffed tip holds chalk. This is the small steel tool that lives in the case pocket.
