Side by Side Comparison of: Viper by GLD Products vs Iszy Billiards

Perfect for my four year old grandson.

This a a really nice cue for the price. The kids love it.

Received on time and works fine.

Good product for price. Shipped timely as advertised.

Excellent!

Works Great!

nice pool cue, great price

great item

Very promising cue. I like it.

I would buy it again, looks and feels like it costs more.

The package arrived on time and the pool cue works great. I would recommend this product. Be careful! I dropped the cue and it splintered. The end near the tip is a little thin.

Stick is very straight and the correct weight. It came exactly when it was promised. I am very happy with this stick

Handy for short space, very useful

it does job of getting me through close quarters shots.

Bought this for my son for Christmas wasn't sure that it would for him since he's only 7. But this was the perfect length for him as the adult pool sticks is way to long for him. He isn't short for his age either and is actually pretty tall for his age. But these pool sticks are pretty even as well and aren't bent or bowed.

One of the sticks broke, but was because one of the kids stepped on it. Otherwise, a decent product. Kids grew out of it, have had it for a while now. Not using the other stick anymore, got a 48 inch stick from ozone billiards for them, works way better and sturdy.

Decent cue

Decent stick. Only reason for 4 stars is you don't get to chose the oz size. I bought 4 and they aren't all the same. Also they shipped me 4 huge boxes when all 4 sticks could have fit in one

The cue is beautiful, just as expected and as pictured as advertised. I like everything about it, aside from the dings in it when I pulled it out of the box.It appeared that it was damaged while inside the plastic wrapping it came in, as there were slashes in the plastic where the cue was also damaged.The damages are quite small however, and I plan on keeping the cue. The black area where it is damaged can be touched up a bit with something, and the damaged spot in the wood isn't too noticeable.This cue would have been perfect, had there not been a couple damaged spots on it! I would recommend it to others. Hopefully I was just unlucky with the small imperfections; maybe it isn't a common occurrence.

Good stick for the price

Was what we expected.

We just moved, and the house we bought had a pool table in the basement. Wow, what a bonus!Not so bonusey was finding out that I needed all new billiard sticks because the ones left behind were (ahem) "junk".I don't like to buy cheap stuff very often--I usually try to buy the middle- or high-end brand of an item. Well, I don't know much about billiard sticks, but I figured I couldn't go wrong with Canadian Maple, eh?I was RIGHT (again!). This stick is fantastic! It comes in two pieces (as advertised) for quick and easy transport. I don't plan to transport mine anywhere other than the entertainment room, but it's good to know I can.What I love about these sticks:1. Portable2. Very smooth finish (easily glides between your hands)3. Nice tips--fairly flat4. Beautiful design on handle5. Perfect weight (I highly recommend at least a 20-ounce weight)What could be better:1. The stick I got seems to be very slightly bowed instead of 100% perfectly straight. It hasn't seemed to affect my playing, and I probably am the exception rather than the rule (meaning most of these are probably perfect). I had to take off one star for the product that I received.I like the rubber on the bottom, and I like the grip (nice and tight). 58 inches seems to be perfect for me as well.As a novice pool player, I would definitely buy this product again (in fact, I might very soon).

Gave as a gift - he says he really likes it

great buy i like the feel great grip to it. Its weight is all back end and havent yet shot with it but expect good results

Mine broke pretty easily. Granted I dropped it a lot, but it cracked and that was all she wrote.

Dropped it and it broke in half. The stick is hollow and not very sturdy.

The cue is the right size for tight corner spots but has no weight to it which makes shots difficult.

It was very low price, & it's OK, but it is very light, and so a little difficult to shoot with.

Bought a pool table for the game room area. I like things to match. table is black. furniture black and silver. needed black cues (bottom portion of these are black). And they work well enough for an at home game room. not for professional use by any means.

Does the trick if you need a short cue; however, it feels too light for my taste. I know it is a 36" cue stick, but it feels as if it is made from a very light (not dense) wood with no weight added to increase the mass. But it was very cheap and allows shots in tight spaces.

warped after about 3 months. Good starter stick.

Not too bad.

Good cue. It did warp after some time in the case. Not a biggie but I did expect a little more quality/time from it.

A gift for my dad. Arrived quickly, packaged well. It was a good price and gave a nice appearance. Doesn't come with a case or anything. Went out and got him some tips to add to it.

This is a cheaply-made cue that is straight and works . It is so short that it is too light for use as anything but a child's first attempt at pool . I bought it for play in confined quarters but don't use it .

Cue stick broke after just about 12 uses during a break so i would not buy another one like this ever unless it were given to me for free...

Tip needed to be reshaped a lot when first used. Resulted in not much of a tip being left.Shaft was pretty crooked for a new stick, but not enough to really care about, I guess you get what you pay for.

These pool sticks were purchased because our new pool table is kinda close to a window and that's the side the q-ball stops a lot. I thought they would be good because it's a solid piece of wood- what could go wrong? One of the tips totally fell off, the other is crooked. The only reason I keep them now is in case my nephew comes over. He is young and I wouldn't want him to have a long heavy pool stick to play with. Since he'll miss anyway, a crooked tip won't matter to him.Sorry- I do not recommend this product.

I bought this stick because there are two spots around my table that I needed a shorter stick. The price was good and I got free shipping by purchasing a few other necessities. What I don't like is that all the weight is in the bottom half of the stick and that the top half is too fat. It's just a cheap stick. I'll probably buy something better and use this one as a bridge stick.

I purchased this for my nephew so he would be able to play on my table. The stick is made well enough, but has no weight. If they would add a few more ounces to this stick it would make all the difference. But kids need weight just like adults. This couldn't have weighed maybe 5 - 10 oz. tops.

One of the two cues I purchased quickly warped to the point of being unusable for consistent play. The other seems to have held up well. I play daily so there is constant usage. As it's a moderately priced cue and difficult to ship, I did not notify the manufacturer which is probably not treating them fairly. Overall it came down to a question of time.

Cheap and wrap came off

Good cue for the money while it was in good condition, however I had it less than a month and used it less than ten times and the tip has come off.

I was not impressed with the quality. The tip was very junky. Returned for a refund. I bought it for a gift and refused to give it

Bought three of these. I wasn't expecting a work of art for the price but I was expecting them to be straight. All three wobbled when rolled on the table. Not worth it

I received my cue stick today is it suppose to look like this or am I missing a piece on the tip?

You need to glue a tip on. I did not know this

Broke in two days. Bad buy.

It was great while it lasted. It broke in less then a month. I went to break one time and it did the same thing. It broke about half way down. Dont waste your money.

Dimensionally accurate. Unfortunately the description does not include the truth. I have never seen a more warped stick in my life. I hoped to be more savvy than this, but even a week later the stick I bought is now half the price, making me wonder did I read these reviews, as I faithfully do every single order? I could pull a branch out of my yard that would be more true a cue than this would ever strive to be.Do not buy this.Maker of this cue; contact me with your attempt to refutiate this embarrassment, and I wont make a youtube video demonstrating exactly how demeaning this cue is to billiards. Why even put a tip on it? Or much less rubber on the butt?

Terrible stick, covered in knots, shoots like hell.

k

Crappy tip glue. Fell off two racks into playing.

not a bad stick but had burn mark 6 inches from tip.

Not a good cue...
