This review is for the "36 Inch/ 42 Inch/ 48 Inch Short Pool Cue Stick for Kids, Canadian Maple Billiard Cues for Tight Spaces, 2024" that I ordered via the Vine program.Our 10-year-old granddaughter has started showing interest in playing pool, so I ordered this cue for her to start with. This cue looked well made in the online listing and I was not at all disappointed once I had it in hand. At this price range I'm looking for the basics: a decent finish, proper weight, and no warpage. This cue delivered on all of these. This cue was extremely straight with only the slightest vibration at the tip when rolled in my cue testers, so no noticeable warpage at all. Both the shaft and butt are nicely finished and very smooth and I could find no noticeable blemishes on either.The cue measured 48" from tip to butt not including the butt cap and the tip measured 12.5mm using my digital calipers. The joint was relatively loose throughout the threads and only tightened up once fully seated against the butt, and the cue was straight once assembled. The advertised weight for this cue was 18oz and my measurements were 18.5 oz, so a slight bit heavier than listed. The balance point was about 1 in ahead of the wrap. No joint protectors were included.I played a few racks with this cue and while it had a decent hit, the tip is rock hard and has a distinctive clink sound on par with phenolic break tips I've used. I was able to get decent ball control with it but I really didn't like the feel after running through a couple of racks. I may replace the tip with a medium if my granddaughter takes to the game.For the asking price this is an OK quality cue. I like the aesthetics of the wrap-less butt and the point design. Note that these are decals and not actual inlays, but the finish over them is solid and I expect it to last for a good long while if maintained. My only real nitpicks are the large logo around the butt and the overly hard tip. So, keeping that in mind, I can tentatively recommend this cue. I wouldn't suggest it as a player's cue, but for a child starting to learn the game before getting a full-size cue, it certainly fills the need.

they are excellent. They are heavy for their size and perfect for places where the access is restricted

I purchased the 48inch cue. It is nice looking and straight and the decal design is done very well. It is much better any other cue I have seen at this price point. It is suitable for a child, or even an adult as a short cue option in your regular kit. I would by it again if I needed another.

The length and 18-oz weight of the 48 Inch Short Pool Cue are good, and the inlays, design, and vibrant colors are beautiful.Unfortunately, both the first AND second cues I received were warped, the second slightly less than the first, so it'll work okay, but it does make learning more difficult. Additionally, the less warped stick has several rough spots from incomplete and improperly applied finish. While this is a relatively inexpensive cue at $39.99, I still expected better.I recommend passing on this one.

This cue is the perfect size to use as a jump cue and/or as a shortie cue if you don't have a lot of room around the table or parts of it. It is made of nice material and functions as it should

This is a high quality, sharp looking pool cue made for tight spaces. The short length will prevent you from running into those awkward shots against a crowded table or a poorly positioned jukebox. This is one you'll always want to keep in your bag, especially for this fair price. At 17oz, the cue remains comfortable and doesn't leave you feeling like it's too light.
