Pool Cue News and Review

There are tons of shaft cleaners out there, all claiming to be the best at getting out grime, chalk and oil. Of the dozens I’ve personally tested, none even comes close to the Q-Wiz Shaft Cleaner. It is simple enough. One side is rough for cleaning, the other is smooth for polishing. Unlike sandpapers, the rough side is completely safe for your cue shaft. The cleaning side is made of small crystals that do a hell of a job cleaning and rubbing it on your cue shaft is the equivalent of rubbing a paper bag up and down your shaft.

The other side of the Q-Wiz is the polisher. This is simply a soft buffer that smooths your shaft further and gives is a nice, smooth stroke. This can be used either for a quick clean between racks or for some serious cleaning. Best of all, the disc is washable which means it can be used over and over again. For six bucks, this is one of the best purchases you can make for your pool cues.

Overview:

Box of 20 5″ x 9″ pre-treated wipes. These wipes are used for cleaning your shaft and ferrule, which as you know, get really filthy quite quickly from chalk. The manufacturer suggests that this is used to “deep clean” your pool cue shaft and ferrule and will leave your cue feeling smooth and new.

Pros:

They’re handy. The dispenser is easy to use. The cleaner itself isn’t messy like some other cleaners are.

Cons:

Unfortunately, there are many. The towels seem to dry out very quickly. I’ve tested a number of containers and every time, the towels are pretty dry on the outset. As a result, the actual cleaning is superficial. It does get some of the grime off of the shaft and ferrule, but it doesn’t come anywhere close to giving a “deep clean”. In addition, at 10 bucks for 20 wipes, you’re looking at $.50 per wipe which isn’t exactly cheap. These are great for cleaning in-between games, but for a deep clean, you’re best bet is to look elsewhere.
