First, you need to know what makes up a set of clubs? Well there are four main parts to a set of clubs: Woods, Irons, Wedges, and a Putter. These days you also have Hybrid Clubs. These are a cross between irons and woods. People who have trouble hitting their long irons, such as a 2 or 3 iron, tend to use these types of clubs instead. You are allowed up to 14 clubs in your bag and they can be in just about any combination you want. For example, in my bag I carry a Driver, a 4 wood, 3 thru 9 irons, pitching wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge, lob wedge and a putter. This arrangement of clubs fits my game and types of courses I usually play.

So, you're ready to buy your own pool cue. If you've done any looking around at all, you may have more questions than answers. Pool cues can range from around $50.00 to $5,000.00. How do you know which one is "perfect" cue for you?

First of all, you need to know some of terminology. There are two basic types of Pool cues -- called production or custom.

Production cues are computer designed and mass produced. Custom cues are handmade, often from exotic materials, and are created just for you -- based on length of your arms, size of your hands, how you shoot, etc.

While choosing right Pool cue stick is a largely a matter of personal preference and style, there are some basic tips that can help you find perfect stick for you.

1. Size does matter! It's actually related to length of your arms. Longer arms -- longer stick. Cue sticks typically start at around 57 inches.

2. Make sure that stock of stick is completely straight and not crooked. It's fairly simple to figure out. Put stick on a flat surface like a table, and roll it under your palm a couple of times. If it's crooked, you'll know it. You can also hold stick tip pointed down, and site down along length.
