November 12, 2024

Are you a hot shot looking to clean the table in every match?

Get the advantage over your opponents by mastering Cue Stats!

Every Cue in 8 Ball Pool has four Cue Stats, consisting of Force, Aim, Spin and Time, with each stat directly affecting a Cue's performance at the tables.

<b>Force | Aim | Spin | Time</b>
Force | Aim | Spin | Time

When Cues are first unlocked, they are usually in their base form with pre-determined Cue Stats. However, as you collect more Cue Pieces for upgrades, those base form stats will be increased.

For some Cues, the Force, Aim, Spin and Time Cue Stats can even be increased to 10 (the maximum possible) when fully upgraded!

Did you know all Cues available from Promotional Offers and our Web Shop show a preview of a Cue’s base form (green) and fully-upgraded (green + yellow) Cue Stats?

 Force, Aim, Spin and Time will all be at 10 when fully upgraded.

 Only the Spin will be at 10 when fully upgraded.

Next, we’ll explore why having higher Cue Stats will help you in your matches


Force affects the power of your shot.

If you want to send the Cue Ball bouncing around the table, or need to break through obstructions, choose a Cue fortified with plenty of Force!

Aim affects the length of your guideline.

If you’re shooting far across the table, or want to pocket a particularly tricky ball, some extra Aim on your Cue will make all the difference!

Spin affects how you control hits on the Cue Ball.

If you’re a trickshots pro, or need more control over every shot, be sure to choose a Cue stacked with extra Spin!

Time affects how fast the timer runs down.

If you’re playing on a fast turns table, or like to slow down for perfect shots, consider using Cues with lots of Time!
