It's hard to find people with the exact gear you want to purchase. And I hate asking people I'm not really close to to try out their cues. I usually complement their cue and maybe they let me take a shot or two, but I never ask. I see the "Most people" scenario for this type of thing when the cue is 300 or less.
For me. My cues are not cheap. Maybe cheap to some rich people, but I am not letting random people touch anything in my bag unless I've seen you shoot or you're in my bracket. IDK maybe I'm just an A-Hole. I have friends that shot really good, but I cringe when they want to borrow my cue cause some are the type that throw their hands in the air or fall on the table when they miss a shoot(cue still attached to hand). Also some like to dance around the table after making a killer shot or sinking the last ball.
