Do you have a pool player on your gift list but you have no idea what to get them? If you’re willing to spend a little extra money on your gift giving, these are three excellent mid-range gifts for the pool player in your life.

First on your list would be a quality pool cue case. The one in the video above is a leather case, it features a good solid core inside, which is important. Other (cheaper) cue cases don’t feature a solid core but instead just have flimsy dividers. This can cause damage to the cues over time, especially with some of the rough handling that pool players are known for.

Another good gift would be a set of billiard balls with your favorite sports teams on them. They make a set of balls for LITERALLY every team and just about every sport so you should easily be able to find the right ones for your recipient. This set shows that the balls are simply home and away, as opposed to having numbers. For the most part, you don’t need numbers since you’ll always be playing 8 Ball with these kinds of balls. If you buy your balls from a brick and mortar store (like Billiards and Darts Direct) you can even ask them to mix and match teams like “Chargers” versus “Raiders’.

Finally, the last item on my list of moderately priced gifts is a Break/Jump Cue. This is a cue that’s designed specifically for breaking and jumping, not normal play. Once they’ve made their break with it, they can unscrew the back third of the cue and it turns into a jump cue for making jump shots. This is a specialty cue and if your recipient isn’t a professional, it’s likely that this is a product that they don’t already have (but I guarantee that they want it).

So, you’ve got a pool player on your gift list and you have no idea what to get them? If you’re looking to get the biggest bang for your buck on your gift giving, these are three excellent low-cost gifts for the pool player in your life.

First of all, we’ve got The Magic Rack. The Magic Rack is one of those awesome “why didn’t I think of that” type inventions. It’s essentially a small, plastic shape that is laid directly on the pool table. The pool balls are then placed directly on the Magic Rack, thus forming a perfect rack without the need for an actual wooden rack. This is a superb gift since it’s lightweight which means it’s cheap to ship to your recipient, easy to use so they won’t have to read any instructions, and it’s one of those things that most players don’t typically buy for themselves (but they almost always want one).

Next up is a set of Pocket Reducers. These particular reducers are from Practice Pro. Pocket Reducers are portable plastic devices are designed to fit right over the pool table pocket and reduce the overall width that a ball has to make it into the pocket. The idea here being to reduce pocket size and, thus, increase the accuracy needed to make your balls. If you know a pool player who’s always looking for ways to improve their game, a set of Pocket Reducers is an excellent choice.

Finally, we have a Pro Cup Cue Ball. This ball looks identical to any other cue ball with one exception; there are precision red dots dispersed over the surface. The goal of the dots is to give the player an idea of how the the ball spins after it has been struck. This is another great device for the pool player who’s always practicing at improving their game.
