"Hi, this is Mike Lopez with Expert Village. Now back to choosing the cue the most optimal point is making sure that it is straight. If the cue is not straight then when you line up the shot it's not going to make direct contact with the cue ball as you want it to. So what you do is take the cue that you selected or possible thinking about selecting and you roll it on the felt. You watch the end tip now this one actually does have a small little wobble just a small little bit of a wobble. Now if this wobble does occur on the stick that you have select another one until you find a straighter cue or select one with a less wobble. It's very important to have a straight cue that way your shots will always line up straight. "
