Need a little guidance from the gurus. This is actually my first post but a lot of the time I do find myself referring to the site for just information in general. I'm relatively new to the game I've been around it for 2 years or so. I can honestly say that I'm hooked. I practice every chance I get. I play in a few different local leagues. I've realized by now that it takes a lot of patience, determination and a lot of racking before you spend time breaking. I'm going to be in the market for a new cue with in the next few weeks. I'm not into really anything flashy or inlays considering that my current cue is a Pred 4k1 which is plain black. I've been checking out the different SP style cues. I guess my question would be am I better off going with a quality production cue IE Schon BW series or looking for a custom cue within that price range. I'm not going to lie I truly do like the Schons, but I would like to go with something that is a Radial or a wood to wood joint. I've looked in Dominiak Cues and read a few reviews and checked up on a few others. I've used the search feature in the forums and did some of reading before posting. I'm just hoping someone can give me some direction here.
