Don’t get surprised if you have seen several cue sticks when you attend a trick shot tournament. These equipments are used mainly to complete a difficult shot with its unique characteristics and components. If you already read the previous articles about the cues for pool and jump shot, then masse cues would not be unfamiliar to you. Among the trick shots, masse shot seems a bit more complex and thus its cue is quite hard to find.

Masse cues are rarely mass produced unlike other cues. One prominent mass cue manufacturer is Crown Cues. To distinguish this special cue amongst others, it is shorter than the regular playing cues but longer than the jump cues. Aside from the length, masse cues are heavier and stiffer than the others. Having a typical weight of 24-25 ounces, it would aid a player to make a good stroke for a masse shot. Of course, being fancy with the shot would not be feasible if you lack practice.
