A custom cue is typically handmade. It will have design, a handwrap, tip(s), and balance specifically requested by the person purchasing the cue. Even the joint work and butt are typically by request. Other choices include types of wood, types of inlays, shaft characteristics, length, and weight.

However, the player cannot change the handling or feel of the cue, a big difference with a custom cue, which can be designed for exactly the handling, feel, weight distribution, and of course, looks, that the player wants. Most production cues are much more likely to warp and otherwise deteriorate than a custom cue. However, for the difference in price, it simply means the player should take very good care of the production cue, just as if it was a custom cue that could cost 10 times as much.
