Side by Side Comparison of: Valley vs Viper by GLD Products

Very nice, sturdy set of cues. We donated these to the pool room of our club. They get a lot of use. So far they've held up great and everyone is happy to have them. AND they were at my doorstep in two days, packed nice and ready to go. We couldn't be happier. Thanks for great service and quality cue at a good price!!

Very nice would buy again

These sticks are EXCELLENT. Well balanced and straight. Perfect for my house pool room. I'd even highly suggest them for bar owners as they are inexpensive and strong.

Eight ball corner pocket.
Nice straight durable cues just as you would find at a pool hall.

These sticks last longer than any other sticks I have bought. The tips are strong. I highly recommend them to ardent pool players. Always remember to use the chalk - buy the color that matches the color of your board. I have a green pool table and I randomly purchased a blue and it messed it up, I had to change the color to green.

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!

Well made sticks for the $$$ !

pretty decent sticks for the price.

This set includes 4 different weight pool cues. I bought them for a pool table that gets moderate use. They work well given the reasonable cost. They are straight, and have a good feel.

Sticks have been fine the packaging could have been better. Thought they might have been damaged when I saw box ripped but the sticks were ok!

I am a casual pool player. I bought these for kids to use on a church pool table. They work well and are pretty durable.

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

All the stock tips cMe off the first month

Sticks seem like pretty quality house cues but after a few months of actual use (mostly just playing on weekends with friends), the bottoms started to split.

This is probably from people slamming the bottom of the cue after missing a shot or something, but there have not been any kind of real abuse on them. Bar cues take much more of a beating for years before they look like this. I have 4 or 5 other cues that I have had longer and they are still going strong while these are ALL splitting at the bottom.

Again, I am sure they have been banged a bit on the rubber, but I still expected a bit more life expectancy... especially considering my other cues have survived the minimal abuse just fine.

Just needed some extra cues. Next time I'll get more serious about quality, but these are OK for just goofing around.

The sticks are hardy, and straight. The weights are nice in the variety, however, after only a few games, the tip fell off the 19 oz stick. Granted, maybe it was a bad glue run, who knows, but for the tip to come off so soon after purchase gives me pause on recommending this brand.

I received the cues on time and really packaged well - great job Amazon. The problem is I was supposed to get 1 of each weight 18-21oz, and instead I got 1-18oz, 2-19oz and a 21oz. Is that a big deal - no not really but then again it is not what is described. I expect the cues will last a long time as they are solid wood and made well. I would but again if for sure I would get all 4 weights.

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.

They warp real quick even when keeping them on the cue stick holders and in a dry location.

I bought 3 sets of valley house pool cue sticks for new buisnness. All but one were striaght. One was warped. I checked them when I rolled IT across table that is I found it. I did not know that they were not made in US. Would not buy agian.

The item(s) are advertised as one each a (18 oz), (19 oz), (20 oz), and (21 oz) pool cues (maple hardwood). I rec'd them today and this is what I got... two (2) 13 oz. cues, one 20 oz, and one 21oz. cue.... Two of the cues have terrible bends in them.... Thanks! "Game Room Guys!"

I had ordered a set of Game Room Guys cue sticks weighing 18, 19, 20, and 21 ounces. What I received was four sticks all weighing 15 ounces. I contacted the seller and was advised that these sticks are sold by them but actually shipped by Amazon from an Amazon warehouse. Any seasoned pool player will tell you that a 15 ounce stick is almost unusable. They were beautiful sticks, but way too light. So I have to caution anyone looking at this set. Be sure to check the weight of the sticks you receive!

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.

2 of the 8 poolsticks I ordered were warped

The viper commercial 57" pool sticks, are the worse pool stick ever. I Oder four of them and in all four the tip broke off on the first brake. I been meaning to send it back but haven't had the chance. But since I receive this email I would like to request a return sticker.

I am very disappointed, 3 out of the 4 cue's tips have come off within days of receiving my order. At this point I will not be ordering anymore from this company. TRH

I've had sticks for only one week and cue tips broke off. Currently wouldn't recommend to purchase at this time.

all cues were warped together and all but 2 of 12 were warped. very disappointing to get them that way bad job.

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?
