About
The Dominion Cues story
Our story
Dominion Cues started with a simple frustration: too many players were choosing between a cue that played well and a cue that looked like theirs. We build one-off, made-to-order cues designed around how a specific player shoots — their grip, their stance, the shot they miss when it matters. Every cue that leaves our shop is built for one person, not pulled off a shelf.
Our craftsmanship
Every build starts on paper — shaft profile, wrap, joint, weight, and balance point are worked out with the customer before a single piece of wood is turned. We hand-select and turn our own shafts and forearms, cut our own inlays, and finish every cue in-house so the taper, hit, and finish all come out of the same hands. Nothing ships until it's been checked for straightness, weight, and finish against the original spec.
Our team
We're a small shop by design. Keeping the team small means the person who talks to you about your cue is the same one turning it on the lathe — no handoffs, no telephone game between what you asked for and what gets built. We back every cue we make and stand behind it long after it leaves the shop.
