About the American Cuemakers Association

WHAT WE ARE:

The American Cuemaker's Association was formed in 1992 to promote the American made cue as a unique collectable art form. We are composed of cuemakers, merchants in the billiards industry, and other supporters.

WHAT WE ARE NOT:

We are not a group who teaches people how to make cues. We do not provide information on equipment or supplies needed to make cues, and we do not provide sources for materials.

MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS:

All membership in the ACA is contingent upon the approval of the Membership Committee. If the committee is aware of any adverse information concerning the applicant such as personal behavior that would reflect adversely on the ACA , the membership application may be turned down.
