  • My Review of the Players C-960 Pool Cue Stick
Size: 21 Color: Red
Jan 2018- I think that anyone who buys a cue stick without first trying it out on a table – is probably nuts. But I knew if I didn’t like it, I could return it to Amazon with absolutely no hassle. The Players C-960 cue arrived as scheduled. The cue was made in China, and is shipped in the US by Lucasi in Colorado. I paid $89 and change for the cue. It came in a standard 5”x5”x35.5” Amazon box with absolutely no protective padding. However, the cue was enclosed in a stout plastic fitted bag that kept the cues parallel, and protected them from banging into each other during shipping. There was no damage to the cue. The cue’s 58” length and requested weight (21 oz.) were spot on. I don't want guys in the pool hall laughing at me when I "un-holster" my cue, but generally speaking, looks are of little importance to me when buying a cue stick. I prefer simplicity over flashy graphics. In the looks department, this stick is certainly no slouch. I've received several compliments on the cue's looks and apparent build. I’ve personally always liked the looks of bird’s eye maple. Although I’ve seen better looking bird’s eye maple on more expensive cues, this is still very nice wood, and the eye-catching red stain is very visually pleasing. The finish on both butt and shaft is flawless, and the shaft slides through my bridge as smoothly as glass. The ferrule and tip fit perfectly. The cue comes standard with a Le Pro leather 13mm tip. Mine was shaped properly, but was very smooth and needed lots of scuffing and picking so that it would hold chalk properly. It almost looked as if it had some soft of coating before doing that. The actual 15” taper on the shaft felt fine. Tested both separately, and assembled, all parts were straight as an arrow. The double pressed Irish linen wrap and the 5/16”x 18 joint assembly were all perfect. On the table, the cue just “sounded” and “felt” right during both hard and soft shots. Keeping the tip chalked has been challenging however. I would give this cue the following scores: Delivery Speed 8/10, Packaging 4/10, Price 9/10, Straightness of butt and shaft 10/10, Tip 7/10, 5/16”x 18 Joint 10/10, Lifetime warranty (even against warpage, chipping or cracking) 10/10 Overall, I was very pleased. If my game was nearly as good as this cue – I’d be in great shape. If I looked as good as this cue - I'd be in movies! This cue gets highest recommendation. ... show more

  • Wow. Thanks Players for a really great stick!
Size: 18 Color: Red
I have purchased hundreds of items from Amazon over the past several years, but I believe that this is only the second item I have ever reviewed, as it has surprised me tremendously. I take pool seriously, and I wanted to purchase a few house sticks for my home table that were not the typical level of play, since I get a fair range of players, who don't always bring their stick. So, I was willing to pay more for a few good sticks, but the details in the many 5-star reviews made me choose this and one other at a comparable price. I will be returning the other two very good sticks, as they do not compare with this player, despite the fact that one listed for about 80% more and was also very well reviewed. On the first go-round I put the ball everywhere I wanted using seriously controlled draw and 1,2 & 3-tip low, middle and high english. This is within minutes of picking it up, and even before any break-in of the tip or otherwise. The tip was well prepared as was the rest of the stick. While I am not saying that it compares with the juiced Bushka, it is definitely not going to be the limiting factor for 99% of players, and it is really a pleasure to use. Simply put- really great stick at a great price. I am actually thinking of juicing one of them, as it would be a real sleeper that would slam some of the very expensive sticks that I see here in several critical areas of play-- and at less than $200 including $90 for juicing, this is really saying something. Obviously there are subjective and player/play-specific characteristics that will affect one's critique and usability of any stick, and it is not generally comparable to having a custom-fitted stick, nor some of the top (much more expensive) alternatives. However, at around $100 it is definitely better than some of the very popular sticks at much higher prices. Finally, looks of a stick rank as much less important to me than how a stick plays, but this is also a beautifully designed and crafted stick. It is classically elegant without being overdone in any way. Great job Players! I will amend this comment after I have juiced one of these, and will let you know if it can rise substantially higher when optimized for tournament play. BTW, although I would not typically waste this much time on a stick at this price point, I mic'd, measured and quantitatively tested this stick and found that substantial craft and care went into it from a numbers standpoint as well as how it plays. ... show more

  • Can a cue really produce this much improvement?
Size: 19 Color: Red
Some of it has to be placebo effect because I can't believe my game has stepped up several notched since I started playing with my own cue rather than picking one out of the rack. But whatever the cause I am delighted. I don't believe I have ever given a 5-star review before but I can't give any less. Revision I bought this cue in February. I play once a week for about 3 hours. In 5 months the coating on the shaft has worn off leaving the wood exposed. It doesn't really affect the play but the appearance is certainly less attractive.It should surely last longer than that! I am reducing my 5-star rating to 4. ... show more

  • Great for the price!
Size: 18 Color: Red
Decent cue for the money. Good finish and polish job. Nice joint figment. Solidly anchored stainless 5/16-18 pin. Good enough quality to play properly. The center of mass is in an appropriate. I’ve seen $300+ cues that look the same... no inlays just stained with some other colors. To receive this level of quality, for what I payed, I can’t gripe about the packaging. The butt and shaft are separately thermal roll sealed on either side of a 30” x 4” plastic bag, bubble wrapped, and boxed. The cue arrived with no damage whatsoever. My only gripe is that the linen wrap has some rough spots. Only time will tell how long that lasts. I got this cue because i didn’t want to waste a bunch of money. Past this price range cues become run of the mill with inlays not very many color options beyond natural wood or earth tones. Inlays and exotic wood don’t make you play any better... Slick modern cues are usually an expensive package deal with weird joints that make it ridiculous to change shafts. ... show more
