This pool cue is SO much nicer than I anticipated! It is weighted very well and has a great tip on it. It shines so beautifully and is sure to last for a VERY long time! I bought it for my little niece to use on the pool table I got for the kids, but I am sure the adults will enjoy this as well. It's not a toy, though smaller in size. As my daughter pointed out, it's for tight shots when you need a smaller cue! But it work just as well for the tiny players in the family.
