The game of pocket billiards, more commonly known as "pool," involves a lot of precision and foresight. Where to stand, where to aim the cue and what kind of force to use - these are all integral to getting the pool balls into pockets. The same care should be taken for storing the cues.
Just as a tennis racket would be kept in a case, or golf clubs put away in a bag, pool cues need to be stored so they do not incur damage before the next round of pool. Pool cue racks or stands are a smart investment to make when purchasing the rest of the billiards gear.
Pool cue racks and stands differ in that the former is mounted on a wall and the latter stays on the ground. Depending on the preference, both pool cue accessories are available at billiards' stores for purchase. There are numerous pool cue racks and stands available. Some hold as few as two and as many as 12. Generally, the amount each rack or stand can hold are two, six, eight, 10 or 12. There are some, however, that hold nine. Portable cue holders come in smaller numbers, ranging from two to four and three to five.
Whether the choice is wall or floor, pool cue racks and stands are made in numerous woods and finishes. The styles vary according to store, but oak is among the most common wood and finish. Cherry, mahogany and maple are other options available. Another material used is wrought iron, more commonly seen on pool cue stands than racks.
The prices for pool cue racks and stands differ according to style and material used. Generally, the more ornate a rack or stand, the more expensive it is going to be. The cheapest options are pool cue racks that cost as little as $11, but they can reach the high $100s, if not more. Pool cue stands run more expensive than some racks, starting in the low $40s and running into the mid to high $100s.
A fancier way to store pool cues is an in-wall pool cue rack. In-wall pool cue racks give a game room a custom built-in look, minus the custom cabinet cost. They can be installed easily and come in a multitude of woods and finishes. The door styles and knobs are another choice to make when choosing in-wall pool cue racks. With all the options comes a slightly heftier price tag, anywhere between the mid $100s to the mid $200s.
After the pool balls have sunk into the pockets, it is good sense to store the pool cues into a rack or stand. Pool cue racks and stands help to preserve the integrity of the cue. They keep them safe from being backed into, stepped on or damaged in other ways. The right pool cue racks or stands can also liven up any game room. As much investment that goes into purchasing a billiards table, it is worth it to buy a rack or stand to protect the pool cues.
