Getting back into pool after a 10 year hiatus. Looking for a new cue to get back into playing. Production and custom cues are both welcome. Prefer to stay closer to a $500-$700 range but can entertain something nicer.

I have a Becue Natural Born Naked cue with Extensions and aluminum joint protectors with the Engage 12.3 shaft $600

Oh cmon 'Murica.. Imagine you again lost the Superbowl against a couple Germans, Scottish and Hungarians... for the 4th or 5th time in a row!

Would there not be any rich football fan that would be able to set aside some spare change to set up a training site to nurture talents to regain pride in one of the national sports? At worst you lose some money, at best you are the godfather of the Renaissance of a national sport!

I guess there's not enough money or not enough care.

Choking is a "Self fulfilling prophecy". You expect the worst and you're not disappointed.

The subconscious doesnt register the "Don't " when the swing thought is "Don't Miss". So when that thought hits my brain I must start over and make sure it's a positive final thought.

Well first, it wasn't Gambling. No seriously Washington state had a court ruling that it's a contest of skill.
Of course playing for money can be a gamble on a couple of levels. Gambling can be addictive just like alcohol.
My claim was to be a Money Player. Not big money, just a way to keep score. So "whatever is comfortable for you" would be my pitch.

I just retired from 38 years of service. The organization is buying me gifts(mostly pool related)
One of the my choices was a Becue, full Carbon Fiber. I chose a brown leather wrap to break up the blackness. It should arrive with in a week or two. I should know more soon.
I have never played a Carbon Fiber cue.

Did you get the Prime II shaft? You should be able to get that shaft with it, the transition will be easy for you

That is one hell of a nice price for the Treadway!
